I think Ungar-Sargon is unequivocally the most embarassing defender of this fascist regime.
Let me get this straight...her defense of Trump's tariff disaster is to claim that poor people buy a lot of junk and throw it all over the floor?

My 2-year-old was in an ICE detention facility when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why am I being deported to Honduras?" And when I told her "Because due process is too woke," she started crying.

Spot-on newsletter, as usual. The Trump regime's secret police will continue to nab anyone it wants off the streets and disappear them until this nightmare is driven from power. And until then, it will unconstitutionally arrest people, eventually including you or someone you know.

A student with legal status has been detained because she wrote an op-ed in her university's student newspaper a year ago, criticizing the university's response to Gaza war protests.

Trump’s team likely learned about Rumeysa Ozturk via the Canary Mission website. The *sole* item in its dossier against her is that she co-authored an op-ed in The Tufts Daily — precisely one year ago today.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

The Trump administration has now ordered the detainment and deportation of three (3) students with legal status for their political speech.
Conservatives claim to care about free speech - both the First Amendment itself and its spirit.
Now is the time for them to use their voices.

Elon Musk should be disqualified from receiving government subsidies.
It’s a conflict of interest.
