Gov. Newsom’s lawsuit over Trump’s use of the military in Los Angeles is still on track for a reckoning on Monday, despite the government’s bid to stop it from proceeding. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Border Patrol at a Home Depot in Los Angeles days after the 9th circuit affirmed a court order that purports to block this exact behavior. They don't even know who they're chasing! This is insane. Send them all to jail.

Trump administration petitioned the Supreme Court to halt a federal judge’s ruling that restricts immigration agents from conducting broad, suspicion-less stops in the Los Angeles region.

Wilmer only found out his son had been detained after receiving a phone call on March 15 from his nephew, Luis, who lives with them. That morning was their last time together; they had gone around the corner to do their laundry. Later that day, Wilmer said that his son met with a friend to get help with some errands at the American Red Cross. He learned this from Luis, who looked at the situation from inside the apartment: when his son was on his way back, just steps from his home when ICE agents stopped him. “The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, ‘No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, ‘Take him anyway.'” That moment marked the beginning of Wilmer’s search for answers — answers he’s still waiting for.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.

An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."

The other said, "Take him anyway."

So they did.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

What Rumeysa Ozturk is apparently getting deported over—signing on to a campus op-ed in support of a student govt resolution calling for institutional action by the university—is not just the essence of protected speech, but the kind of thing that critics of disruptive protest claim to support.

Reminder: the First Amendment protects everyone who resides in our country. It doesn't matter if you have a green card or a visa or if you're undocumented. The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that any person residing in the United States, regardless of status, is entitled to 1A protections.

Ireland has issued a travel warning for citizens traveling to the US, particularly regarding the need to declare biological sex on ESTA and visa applications. Travelers with an "X" marker on their passport or whose sex differs from their assigned sex are advised to contact the U.S. Embassy.

TO RECAP:
- they’re snatching innocent people off the streets
- they’re deporting people to supermax prisons solely because they have tattoos
- they’re using the Signal app (which holds messages temporarily) so evidence of their crimes isn’t found later
- Republicans are fine with all this

That Kristi Noem video with the detainees is so upsetting and the fact any sizable fraction, let alone a majority, of our society would endorse it is evidence of a deep rot in our entire culture. Like until you answer what fuels the appetite for that kind of thing it will only get worse

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Jair Bolsonaro Ordered to Face Trial in Brazil for Attempting a Coup Brazil’s top court ruled that the former president will be tried over his role in a vast plot to cling to power after his 2022 election loss.

Huh, turns out democracies *can* put presidents who plotted coups on trial www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/w...

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

this stuff is happening across the country and even more intensively downstream of the veterans admin but it's happening in so many places at once and without any public notification that it's still only barely emerging in the news

Chair Cassidy, Colleagues Launch Senate Republican Working Group to Reform CDC | The U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senators Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA), chair of the Senate Health, Education,...

Bill Cassidy, who voted for RFK Jr to lead HHS, is now leading a committee to reform CDC.

Public Health needs change. But reform is not what this committee aims to do. They are working to eradicate the CDC.

Maybe focus first on measles, Bill? Since you allowed this to happen?
