US ally Israel's tanks fired at hundreds of unarmed civilians lined up for food from aid trucks in Gaza, they massacred least 59 people and injuring at least 200 more. Hundreds have been killed trying to get aid in past three weeks.

US politicians say they stand by Israel.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

Trump Taps Palantir to Compile Data on Americans

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics.

This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and their three children, and has never been charged with any crime.

The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.

An innocent man was β€œmistakenly” taken and sent to a foreign prison. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 he must be brought home β€” yet he’s still there.

Every day this administration shows just how vile and lawless it remains.

Bring him home!

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process.

This is not lawful.

Abject cruelty! Afghans who fled here, many with our help, after our withdrawal in 2021, are being deported back by Trump to face Taliban rule. This is just disgusting! Shame on people supporting his man!

I still can’t figure out when β€œwe can deport you” turned into β€œwe can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months.

I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

Also I hope we're all on this same page

EVERYONE needs to be brought out of that El Salvadorian hell hole

they were ALL wrongfully deported.

I mean it's good to focus on 'And this guy was here legally and not ever a gang member AND they're Venezuelan'

but NO ONE should've been sent there

Senator @booker.senate.gov is still on the floor. 16 hours and 24 minutes. He is now blocking the confirmation of Matthew Whitaker to NATO. GO, CORY, GO!

If you think it’ll stop at Columbia and Harvard, you’re wrong. If you think it won’t go beyond universities to infiltrate all schools, you’re wrong. If you think it won’t demand compliance at media, medical, and non-profit organizations, you’re wrong. Fascism is here. Fight it.

Disruption is all they seem to understandβ€”so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Canada joins Germany, the UK, Denmark and Finland in issuing a travel advisory for their citizens visiting the US. Trump has humiliated our country with his sloppy incompetence and vengeful hate.

What the Trump admin is doing to Mahmoud Khalil β€” disappearing him to an ICE facility because they didn’t like what he had to say β€” is unconstitutional, full stop.

Silencing free speech is the playbook of authoritarians and dictators. Every single American should be outraged.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

Let this be a warning to *all* non-US Passport holders planning a trip to the USA: Apparently, even documented British citizens are being thrown in the clink for just attempting to legally enter the US.

Daily, fresh horrors from #Tyrant47 are revealed; save yourselves!
