Let's just drop the pretense. This isn't about deporting dangerous criminals. They're grabbing anyone they can, anyway they can and anywhere they can in order to meet Trump's quotas. He wants to run up the score, and it's going to tear communities, blue AND red, apart.

I read Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle when the air conditioning was broken in my childhood home in Miami, so the vision of sweaty contaminated meat products made by repressed workers is especially vivid. We have already done this, it ended badly!

It’s #transdayofvisibility🏳️⚧️ and this is your reminder that there are absolutely no “biblical” grounds for being anti-trans.

Trump just grabbed random Hispanic guys with tattoos and sent them to an overseas torture dungeon
NEW: @MotherJones reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos.
Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. Nervous Musk, Trump, Vance have all been outclassed in public arguments these last few days. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular. People are starting to realize that there is no truth here beyond the desire for personal wealth and power.

Sheryl Crow says she has sold her Tesla and donated the proceeds to NPR.
“My parents always said... you are who you hang out with.
There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla. Money donated to NPR, which is under threat by President Musk, in hopes that the truth will continue to find its way to those willing to know the truth.”

Thousands of Danish citizens are launching an effort to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.
They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n

Look, Trump is trying to oversaturate us with nonstop chaos so we can’t react meaningfully to any one thing.
But Friday's global stop work order on almost all U.S. aid is dumb and murderous. You need to know about it.

🚨NEW: Donald Trump has paused all foreign aid to Ukraine. This is how he will “end” the war between Russia and Ukraine - by selling out our allies to Putin.
RETWEET if you stand with President Zelensky against Donald Trump!

We stand w/ @JewherIlham to call on the Chinese government to #FreeIlham and the other 100+ writers unjustly jailed in China for their expression and words. 11 years is far too long.
11 years ago, Ilham Tohti, a Uyghur writer, economist, and #FreedomToWrite Award honoree, was detained in Beijing. Police ransacked his home, taking his books and papers. Tohti used writing to advocate for dialogue between Uyghurs and Han Chinese. pen.org/10-years-of-injustic…
