This will ALSO OPEN THE DOOR to people who want to do HOME INVASIONS pretending to be ICE. AMERICA IS SO FUCKED!
Afaik, ICE kidnapped people without identifying themselves and masked. Who prevents (other) bad guys then from simply raiding someone’s home, kidnapping and stealing? From afar (Europe) this looks really bad… And I feel really sorry for the family!
Its weird but most of the stories I read of citizens being detained, were lawyers. Like theyre being detained just to gain access to their electronic devices, that they otheteise wouldnt have access to.
All the people coming back into the country with a US passport, which is a card stamped citizen but keep getting detained and questioned are plenty of proof that wouldn’t work.
The other day, Matt Yglesias argued that carrying around a card stamped with "citizen" would protect you from arbitrary detentions by the federal immigration gestapo. It doesn't even protect you in your own home!
Things that will get you blocked: - saying that ppl in Oklahoma deserve this - saying some version of "why are you surprised by this"
Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

So bipartisanship is woke now?
Hegseth boasts about gutting a program that empowered women in conflict zones, smearing it as “woke” to appease Dictator Donald’s reactionary base. In their rotting crusade against human rights, they proudly tear down bipartisan progress, leaving only cruelty in their wake. thehill.com/policy/d...?
The Harvard Law Review is legally completely independent from Harvard. It does not accept federal funding as it's funded by bluebook revenue. I'm not even sure what jurisdiction the department of education has here to investigate them. www.ed.gov/about/news/p...

I think you misunderstand what I’m saying. I’m saying what Trump did is worse than deporting because those kids belong to the US and therefore “deporting” is the wrong word. It would be more effective to use the correct words because they show the true horror of what Trump did.
Stop saying deported. US citizens are not deported. They’re thrown out or trafficked!
Swalwell spitting truth venom
Swalwell: What are we doing here? What in this hearing achieves lowering costs for the American people? Do you know how far you’ve deviated from that goal? This is where you are: today, you will make it easier to deport more American citizen children with cancer.
This is the GOP economy in its purest form. They just speedran the usual 4 year process of shitting away any positive movement by Dems.
There’s gonna be no one left to pay for anything if they keep nickel and dime us to death!
They just closed the CFPB, allowing unlimited bank fees & charges. Essentially giving them $10 billion in fees we’ll pay. Then there’s the bonus that he tips them off before announcements affecting markets. The cherry on top is that our gov’t loves to bail out rich people & blame the poor.
Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession. Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months. Gotta be some kind of record.
Well here's a surprise, I'm sitting here in Australia on a Tuesday morning watching the CBC's live Canadian election results feed with the same level of interest as when I will be watching the ABC's live Australian election results this coming Saturday night. Strange times ... 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇨🇦🇦🇺🇨🇦🇦🇺 #auspol

AOC is the voice for the American people. She confronts the GOP cowards with FACTS and Truth. 😡
AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.
I don't get this republican obsession about who people are fucking. I have a novel idea, as long as no one is getting hurt mind your own fucking business
Lame too.. #politics #lgbtq #humor
They're getting rich off of your while they cut your health care
There will be hundreds of protest events around the country from May 1st to May 3rd. Keep checking here. Events will be added up to the last day. www.fiftyfifty.one/events mobilize.us/mayday/map/ indivisible.org
Amazon needs to fully disclose taxes on any / all orders and can’t just boost the pricing of the object. They have customers that need to properly track, product, taxes and tariffs for their businesses.
Added note to those who use Amazon to search for products to then buy them elsewhere: Don’t click on the sponsored ads. That revenue goes to Amazon.
Bezos is scum. Boycott Amazon. Show that We The People are his bosses, not Trump, who, after all, is nothing but a hired hand.
My vote in the Amazon shareholders meeting on May 21.
Why why why are they so f’ing scared of this idiot in charge?
Bezos is a pussy who sold out his customers for his orange daddy.
Now we have the answer. The original story was legit then Bezos backed down.
Who hid Americans during the 1979 hostage crisis? Canada. 🇨🇦 👊🏻
And Bezos bent!
‘He Was Pissed’: Trump Reportedly Called Jeff Bezos to Fume at Report Amazon Would Slap Tariff Cost Labels On Products https://twp.ai/4im9Pg
Three months in and they’ve already lost the country faster than any White House in decades. From here on out it’s just them whining about about how everyone is being mean to them.
Exactly, I thought tariffs good…why no transparency, because consumers are paying the tax
OK, I'm confused. If you want to use tariffs to encourage US consumers to buy American products, wouldn't explicitly displaying the tariff costs of imported stuff be exactly what you should be doing?
The part about "a Chinese propaganda arm" seems gratuitous, like "let's see what else I can pull out of my insults bag to finish this sentence." This game of create a crisis, and then dismantle it and take credit for fixing it is getting pretty old and tiresome.
UPS announced $3.5 billion in cost reductions for this year for a major network reconfiguration designed to expand U.S. op margins. That will include cutting 20k jobs and shutting 73 buildings by the end of June. UPS said the cost reductions align with the decline in Amazon delivery volume. 👍
White House says Amazon's decision to desplay tariff-based price increases on products is a "a hostile and political act by Amazon," who they accuse of working with "a Chinese propaganda arm."
🤦♀️ they want the customer to see all charges! Guess this administration doesn’t want any blame.

AOC nails it: " We'll rally every corner of the United States of America until we save Medicaid and Medicare for every American until we defend social security. And we tell them who's really in charge in this country." #HandsOffOurMedicaid
In an effort to embrace modern technology, the Vatican is replacing the in-person Conclave it has historically used to select a new pope with an insecure Signal group chat.

American WORKERS are paying the price for political THEATER. 🤬
We’re entering the “so much depends on whether the military will disobey orders” phase of authoritarianism. None of this is good and I wish I could say the danger of protesting and mass action isn’t rising. But it is, and yet the time for protecting and mass action is now.
Pritzker: As a Ukrainian American Jew who built a holocaust museum… let me say this to Donald Trump: Stop tearing down the constitution in the name of my ancestors. Do not claim that your authoritarian power grabs are about combatting anti-semitism.
"We can't ever let this happen again." I mean that with every fiber of my being. Democracy is not self-sustaining. It needs defenders. It needs truth-tellers. It needs people who will stand up — and stay standing — even when it’s hard, even when it's dangerous." open.substack.com/pub/harrydun...

📌I need just ONE of these damn universities to say: "We will NOT be taking marching orders on DEI from a hardcore bigot who sees fine people on both sides of a KKK rally." You feeling me, Harvard?
Oof.
To preview today's newsletter: Today in history: Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, “Il Duce,” who, after a series of military misadventures, became unpopular even among his fellow Fascists, was captured while trying to flee Italy and was executed on this day in 1945.
🟢 Kicking in: Negative effects of US tariffs continue to mount. The import and availability of Chinese merchandise have fallen precipitately, with concomitant impacts on shipping, trucking, and other sectors. Stay tuned.
Experts fear Trump’s 'legitimately frightening' new order to turn US military into police https://twp.ai/4ilu44
Pritzker: And we have a president who claims to love America but hates our military so much that can’t be bothered to delay his golf game to greet the bodies of four fallen U.S. soldiers.
To call Francis “the peoples pope“ implies that the Catholic Church knows that previous popes weren’t that into people

“.. ‘No way we can make up for the 30-60% lost volumes from China [via other countries] due to the tariffs,’ said Miller. .. ‘Unless the 145% China tariffs are dropped very soon (e.g., this week), I don’t see how this scenario is avoided.’” www.freightwaves.com/news/no-way-...
So he wants to use tax payer money to investigate why tax layers don't like it when he wastes tax payer money?
👀👂Governor Pritzker: “Republicans enabling Trump should “feel in their bones that when WE survive this shameful episode of American history” their portraits will be relegated “to the museum halls reserved for tyrants and traitors” 🔥🔥🔥 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Trump is demanding that DOGE investigate polls after his favorability numbers tanked so badly that even Fox News couldn’t spin them to look good. He’s calling it all “fraud.” Seems like a very “efficient” use of tax dollars.
Speaks for itself, doesn't it?
The world’s mad king is wearing a clown suit.

This week’s main story is about the budget and staffing cuts being made to public health agencies in the U.S. under RFK Jr.’s leadership, how those cuts will impact all of us, and some foolproof ideas for what scientists can do in the absence of totally superfluous stuff like, y’know, centrifuges.
Here's an update on who I spoke with yesterday at the sit in Had great conversation with Cory Booker, Hakeem Jefferies, Amy Klobuchar, Chris Coons and Brian Schatz Have meetings with 4 Senators now as a result. #altgov
We’re behaving like a failed state and embracing lawlessness, cruelty, and corruption. The White House proudly displays images of men on its lawn who have not received due process. History will remember us as the nation that sold out democracy in exchange for money and power.
I would back JB Pritzker for POTUS over Gavin Newsome. That’s a 180 for me.
