He turned the email replies off so we can't respond. Guess he knew what we'd say.

@kaine.senate.gov Mitch McConnell never said, "we negotiated for what we could get." and gave up when he was part of the minority party, he got everything he wanted, always.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.

If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

To the cartoonist who drew this, well done.

We are the STORM....

Right? 👇🏽🤢

Happy #Easter Weekend! 🤣

History always has a lesson.

6. Travel with a secondary phone You also can travel with an inexpensive and relatively anonymous secondary device or burner phone, one without your contacts, photos and revealing texts. But be aware that having a device with barely any content on it could raise alarm bells.

AARP is telling people to maybe travel with a burner phone. Welcome to the rebellion

The Mystery of ICE’s Unidentifiable Arrests In early March, the agency announced that it had arrested forty-eight people in New Mexico—a month later, their identities and whereabouts remain unknown.

ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.

This happened this week and it was VERY craven

ImmigrationOS: Deportation-as-a-Service in Beta How Palantir’s ImmigrationOS Turns Human Lives Into Targeted Data Streams—One Algorithm at a Time.

ICE just handed Palantir nearly $30M to build ImmigrationOSa real-time surveillance tool that tracks visa overstays, “self-deportations,” and more. Mass deportation, automated. Built by Peter Thiel’s favorite spy firm. Tested on immigrants, scaled for everyone.

Let's make this clear:

Just because we demand that our justice system continue to use DUE PROCESS does not mean that we support gangs or illegal activity.

But snatching people off the street and disappearing them without due process crosses the fucking line.

YouTube video by Democracy Docket BREAKING: Judge Starts Criminal Contempt Proceedings Against Trump Admin

NEW VIDEO: Federal Judge James Boasberg has found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in contempt of court for showing “a willful disregard” toward his March 15 orders requiring it return hundreds of migrants it sent to a notorious prison in El Salvador.

Paige and I explain.

U.S.-Born Attorney Says She Was Told To 'Immediately' Self-Deport In DHS Email “It is time for you to leave the United States,” read the email reportedly sent to Nicole Micheroni, who is questioning how many others it was inappropriately sent to.

“There are a lot of people within their rights to stay here that are being told to leave, and a lot of people don’t know the difference” www.huffpost.com/entry/americ...

A quote from Sarah Stillman that reads, “What I found . . . is hard to describe as anything other than a pattern of widespread torture of people with mental-health issues in county jails.”

In a new report, Sarah Stillman investigates deaths related to starvation, dehydration, and neglect in county jails across the U.S.—a crisis that at times has been covered up by private health companies and government officials.

I'm struggling so hard to give a fuck about a bunch of rich people who paid the 3rd richest person on Earth $500,000 to go to space for a few minutes, while there are folks here who can't even afford the basics to survive.

I am absolutely not a fan of this man, that said, he’s completely correct and the messaging here is 💯

Have you seen the line of succession?

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

On Friday:

@weissmann11.bsky.social correctly calls out the US government claim that they can't bring back people unlawfully sent to El Salvador as "real lawlessness"

In ruling against the government, Judge Wilkinson correctly echoes:

Public Information Statement National Weather Service Memphis TN 212 PM CDT Fri Apr 4 2025 ...Memphis Operational Status Update... We have a tremendous backlog of storm reports that still need to be posted. Due to the ongoing warning operations and the extremely high volume of partner coordination, briefings, and media interviews, we simply haven't had the bandwidth to post them in real-time. We sincerely ask for your patience as we continue to balance the delivery of critical, life-saving information during this multi- day event while also working to mitigate staff fatigue. We are only half way through what is a marathon. Please know that all reports are being carefully documented and will be posted in the coming days. At this time, we have made the decision to hold and post Local Storm Reports in bulk rather than releasing days-old reports during active weather. Our concern is that trickling in outdated information could unintentionally add confusion to an already chaotic operational environment. Additionally, we plan on focusing on warnings and communication and will forgo the issuance of any Special Weather Statements for sub-severe storms this afternoon and tonight. Thanks for your continued support, and please keep the real time reports coming as they are critical to the warning process. Stay safe and take care of yourselves and others around you.

This just in from the Memphis National Weather Service Forecast Office. They have a "...tremendous backlog of storm reports that still need to be posted." Full statement is below with alt text. #arwx #mowx #mswx #tnwx

If we found out Trump was a Russian and/or Chinese asset, Woildn’t it all make more sense?
