Since July, Trump’s immigration goons have illegally detained at least 2,300 people without bond or due process.

Meanwhile, two private prison corporations who donated millions to Trump are profiting off these blatant constitutional violations.

Cashing in on cruelty.

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use β€œreasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

I’m no fancy politics guy, but i’d say any country where you can’t put a man in prison for accepting a literal bag full of cash in exchange for favors from the government is not, in fact, a functioning state.

Great day to check in on your free speech absolutist buds and make sure they’re ok. They all seem super quiet and not free speechy for some reason.

Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

The Curious Case of Kash Patel's $25,000
The Curious Case of Kash Patel's $25,000 YouTube video by Mother Jones

According to Kash Patel’s own financial disclosure statement, he pocketed $25,000 from a production company operated by a filmmaker associated with a Kremlin-subsidized propaganda project, a pro-Putin oligarch, and a pro-Kremlin disinformation agent.

Absolutely right. If you know how movie financing works you know they were popping champagne corks Monday morning at the studio, and that was *without* this insane second weekend. All this β€œconcerned” coverage is bullshit.

Lawyer for U-M protester detained at airport after spring break trip with family Dearborn lawyer says feds tried to seize his cellphone at Detroit Metro Airport as he returned from spring break trip with his family.

Anyone who still thinks that our systems of checks and balances will stop us from sliding into this dark, dark period of oppression and surveillance isn't living in reality.

I realized why I get sad when I see those delivery robots trundling around the city. Movies taught me that lil’ robots are supposed to be delivering secret plans or singing along to Hello Dolly but instead they’re bringing Klondike bars to stoned dudes in East Hollywood.

REYES: [The order] calls an entire category of people dishonest, dishonorable, undisciplined, immodest, who lack integrity, people who have taken an oath to defend this country, people who have been under fire, people who have received medals for taking fire for this country. I want to know from the government whether that language expresses 'animus.' Does that express animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: Not in any constitutional- REYES: In a commonsense way. This is a policy from the President of the United States affecting thousands of people ... to call an entire group of people, lying dishonest people who are undisciplined, immodest and have no integrity. How is that anything other than showing animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: I don't have an answer for you. REYES: You do have an answer, you just don't want to give it... People can make solid arguments as to why some or even most transgender people shouldn't be in the military We're dealing with unadulterated animus. We are dealing with the president of the United States dealing with a group of people serving their country... calling them liars. (Reyes then said she changed her courtroom orders to bar people who graduated from UVA law school from appearing before her because "they're all liars and lack integrity and are undisciplined and can't possibly meet the high rigors of benign a lawyer for the government" She made the DOJ lawyer sit down on that basis, then after he did, she called him back up and asked whether that was a display of animus.)
