Warren is saying “it’s so much worse than you thought” and Blumenthal says he’s more fearful than ever that we may be putting boots on the ground. Not great.

Being responsible for a major military misfire, whether it just kills hundreds of people or starts WWIII, wouldn't be great for their brand or their business model, and unlike the Trump administration, they have at least enough foresight to understand this. They know what their systems can't do.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson was a civil rights icon and Chicago institution. He was also a star athlete in high school and championed human rights on the global stage.

“People with injuries often wait days or weeks to receive X-rays, diabetes patients lack regular access to insulin and people hoping to see outside specialists such as cancer doctors or dentists are frequently denied…”
There are no words for how evil this is
The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.
“Anyone who has any critique of Trump is potentially in the crosshairs,” says @mark-bray.bsky.social, a Rutgers professor who fled the country with his family after receiving death threats for his antifa scholarship.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, under Republican leadership, has released more than 33,000 pages of documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein. Only a few thousand pages, roughly 3% are new. #Epstein #OpDeathEaters 🧵
I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.
3 weeks ago a Dem congressman suggested a general strike in response to Trump’s fascist coup and was met with roaring applause from his constituents. It got basically zero media attention for some reason.
More people should be considering this. Props to @majorityreport.bsky.social for covering it.
Trump wants to funnel billions into DHS and ICE - building new prisons - while corporations dream of trafficking people into foreign prisons.
This is the making of a massive police state that can put down domestic unrest, attack journalists, and repress entire communities.
Wait you're telling me the drink bleach guy doesn't understand how numbers work?
Remember back in the days when we had DEI and we didn't read about planes crashing or nearly crashing all the time? www.cnn.com/2025/03/28/u...

NEW: @motherjones.com 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.
a bunch of government goons from ICE/HSI showed up to an elementary school in DC this morning and tried to detain a staff member in the parking lot but the person's colleagues intervened and stopped it and let that be a reminder to all of us that we can do that
WATCH: A new investigative collaboration from @frontlinepbs.bsky.social and ProPublica explores a transnational online network of extremists accused of inciting acts of white supremacist terrorism on the messaging platform Telegram. They called themselves Terrorgram.

Needless to say, Elon's chain saw won't go near this one.
Materials on the Arlington National Cemetery website highlighting the graves of Black and female service members have vanished. The cemetery, which is operated by the Army, said it was working to restore the content. Among the obscured pages was material about civil rights.

If you've never been part of a government procurement process, it might be hard to understand just how much of a "go to prison" thing this would have been at any point from 1946-2024.
He nails it.
As Vance 'lectures' Europe on free speech, it is good to be reminded that the United States ranks 55 (!) on the World Press Freedom Index.
The top 10 countries are ALL in Europe.

Naive Chris can't believe this is happening. The rest of us knew it was inevitable. Karl Rove and the DLC did their parts to make this possible.
Of course!
I talked to @kensilverstein1.bsky.social about Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, and the tech billionaires behind their shifts to the right—the focus of my new book, OWNED
Interesting conversation. I like @ryangrim.bsky.social reporting and general analysis. The other two are clearly sugar coating fascism. youtu.be/vCKtPWCixrE?...

Chicago, 2/8—anti-deportation protesters braved wintry weather for a rally followed by a march down 26th St. in La Villita. Activists credit a widespread Know Your Rights campaign for decreasing the number of encounters with ICE agents across the city and suburbs.
Fascinating read. I'm really enjoying your work. So important. Thank you.
