White America, we need to invite the screams of brown-skinned people inside, to let them break our hearts and boil our blood until the fury within us erupts in a sustained roar that violently disrupts an inhumanity that will not stop unless we make it stop.

Trump is now talking about shipping U.S. citizens to prisons in El Salvador.
Let me say that again: U.S. citizens. To foreign prisons.

This is not just unconstitutional—it’s unhinged.
Trump says he wants to imprison US citizens in El Salvador. That's likely illegal
President Donald Trump keeps talking about sending U.S. citizens who commit violent crimes to prison in El Salvador. But that's likely illegal.

A sad day for America—Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University activist, has been arrested by ICE, not for any crime, but for his political activism. The Trump administration claims he was involved in “pro-terrorist” activities, yet no formal charges have been filed.

Great read
Believe me, I understand that my activism is a problem for you. Please know that your inactivism is similarly problematic for me.

It's part of the reason I am as angry as I am.

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.

The question is, whether or not we have enough good people who are willing to push back and to move together across lines of politics and religion and race and nation of origin and orientation—and to declare our interdependence from fascism.
