Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
BREAKING: A federal judge has *blocked* the Trump administration from abruptly deporting 600 unaccompanied Guatemalan children — perhaps within a matter of hours — granting an emergency restraining order after advocates called the plan illegal + dangerous. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
F*ck these guys!!!
I was just going to send you that tik tok showing that the recent post of him getting into the van was old. lol

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
LFG!
Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics. RFKJr needs to resign or be fired.
NEW: my office has received disturbing whistleblower reports that the Trump administration plans to separate 700 children from their families, lawyers, and support systems. Disappearing vulnerable children beyond the reach of American law and oversight is beyond depravity.
The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)
Cynicism is so lazy
It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot. It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place. Ban assault weapons again now.
Thanks @ianbassin.bsky.social "To “fight the long defeat” is not to surrender to futility but to locate dignity and meaning in the struggle itself — and to recognize that what feels like defeat in one moment may seed the victories of another." What @sifill.bsky.social refers to as a time to plant

democrats are currently "controlled opposition" - they refrain from doing anything because they let their opponents control the narrative and everything else.
Had to stop by this sign outside the Moshannon Valley Detention Center. The GEO Group donated $1M+ to Trump’s campaign. Now they’re profiting off of locking up kids using our taxpayer dollars. The corruption is clear. Thank you to the local residents, clergy, & advocates for standing against this.
Look, we have a new statement of principles for the Republican Party.
My alternate message to incoming law students. YOU CAN DO THIS. I was a single mother with a 10 month old and did it. Take it day by day, read the last case first, go to every lecture, and forget about competing with anyone but yourself. You are tooling yourself up to be useful... You got this!
you can see, of course, why the area needs military policing ...
I would say that I did not have “standing on this busy intersection corner, keeping an eye out for ICE & HSI Gestapo harassing families who are dropping kids off for the first day of school” on my 2025 bingo card, but I did. This has to stop. All of us need to fight back now. #backtoschool
Well said!
Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein could not have sold women and girls for sex without wealthy men buying women and girls for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.
Yeah the Newsom stuff is getting weird. Yes, it's good to see someone find ways to resist the authoritarian. No, Newsom is not good and should not be considered a viable candidate. Pritzker and Walz are right there. Both appear to be actually decent human beings.
Do it! For all those young gym rats who don't know how! Ya gotta!
Bingo!
Retweet if you think Republicans and the Trump Administration are covering up the Epstein files. It shouldn’t matter who’s in them. They’re pedophiles! Expose the TRUTH. #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles
GREAT VIDEO!!!!!
Ayanna, Ghislaine Maxwell’s interview is NOT part of the Epstein files. It is a PR stunt making her the spokesperson for that orange guy. We're not falling for it. You shouldn't either.
: )
Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. It’s absolutely flabbergasting.

This story does not end well
Came here to cite this letter - my favorire!!!!
The United States could have great things like this. But we like to spend our money on kidnapping people and trafficking them to concentration camps instead. #Priorities
In my forties, exhausted on the way to an office full of files demanding immediate attention, files forcing me to enter my clients' conflict and pain, I'd lean against a car in the parking lot and watch flocks of birds circle overhead. They cared about none of it. That made all the difference.
Ophelia has left
Toad sat and did nothing. Frog sat with him.
I am a bit of a broken record on this, but are local DAs going to let this continue indefinitely? The ICE agents didn't have any kind of warrant, didn't identify themselves, and then recklessly started firing. Let them argue federal immunity.
… I say defiantly as masked and armed paramilitaries who refuse to identify themselves attempt to drag me off my bike and into their rented van
Right?
This is absolutely perfect.
Release the Epstein Files!
Me. Every Spring. One of my favorite stories!
This is our country under Trump. We cannot look away.

I don’t give a flying fuck how “desperate” you are for a job. There is nothing that could ever justify participation doing this to people who have committed no crimes, who have followed the rules, who only want a better life for themselves and their kids. Hide your faces you gutless bastards
Minority Report was not supposed to be aspirational.
Maybe the courts should invoke the doctrine of constructive trust and claw back the billions he, his family, and his besties have made while purportedly representing the rest of us!
The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Oh, thou clear spirit, of thy fire thou madest me, and like a true child of fire, I breathe it back to thee.
WAPO, please tell me you're not seriosly comparing his proposed big drywall room complete with Hobby Lobby gold-painted ornamentation to any historical "majestic space." Please. We're not morons out here. And the bootlicking has to stop. Jeesh.
They won't be throwing stuff out ...they wil be LOOTING the collections.
Thanks...
Will this apply to all ICE detentions? or is it limited bc no nationwide injunctions?
Read it. Twice. F*cking n a z i s, embedded in our government.
the average homeless person on the streets of DC has thirty-four fewer felony convictions than the current president of the United States
"There's a reason we separate military and the police: one fights the enemy of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." ~Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica
the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back
We are watching closely as the federal government broadcasts various threats to folks without homes in D.C. We want to be clear about a few things. 🧵
The worst crime in DC is fairly concentrated in a few different areas. But rather than deploying the National Guard there, he almost certainly put them in the safe areas frequented by reporters and tourists. Bc he doesn’t actually care about reducing crime. It’s just theatre to distract the media.
Before the Republicans send Federal Troops to the Washington D.C., the D.C. Council should rename the District the Epstein Files so the FBI, DOJ, Attorney General, and Trump suddenly won't be able to find it.
Fascism is make believe at gunpoint, and anyone who asserts the right to describe their own experiences will eventually come into conflict with it
If you're National Guard or any other service member being deployed against people in the US and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status or have any other concerns whatsoever, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487 girightshotline.org
I'm so sorry. : (
BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.
Crazy how the guy on the Epstein list is also the guy making sure you never see it.
(I just do appeals, so the dirt is always there already...)
I always ask a prospective client what the worst thing I'll find out about them once I've read the file. Every time. It's not so much the content of what they respond, but how they take in the question...
Explain to me how ICE agents decimating restaurants in the local Pittsburgh area is “good for this country.” What happened at Emiliano’s Mexican Restaurant & Bar this week was downright disgusting. 16 hard working individuals violently ripped from the restaurant during business hours.

Is it wrong that this on cracks me up?
A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda. This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵
Well, so at least its not just us humans, lol...
MVM, the contractor under Trump 1.0 caught holding unaccompanied children in an office building and making them bathe in the sink, is at it again; this time they held a woman and her son at a hotel for days, incommunicado, despite the ICE locator claiming she was detained multiple states away.
EXCLUSIVE: @timmiller.bsky.social spoke to Andry as he shared his journey through U.S. detention that led to imprisonment in El Salvador. He speaks about abuse, survival, and rebuilding his life through faith and his hope for the future. Watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ySs...

If you went to a funeral every day for every child killed in Gaza, you’d be going to a funeral every day for 52 years

The Trump administration arrested immigrants-who had no criminal records-and sent them to a gulag where they were tortured and sexually abused Yet just transferred Ghislaine Maxwell-serving a 20 year sentence for having trafficked hundreds of women with Jeffrey Epstein-to a cushy "Club Fed" prison
Tragedy
We are very far over the cliff here folks
The Trump administration has quietly released the first stage of its plan to revoke birthright citizenship from the children of immigrants. It uses dry legalese to conceal the barbaric reality of ICE agents in maternity wards and deportation flights for babies. slate.com/news-and-pol...
I don't want a ballroom in The White House. I want healthcare.
Recording law enforcement in public is not a crime. It's protected First Amendment activity -- even in Florida. See Toole v. City of Atlanta (11th Cir. 2019); Smith v. City of Cumming (11th Cir. 2000).
