Trump reacts to Biden's cancer diagnosis: "The autopen is becoming a very big deal, because it seems like maybe that was the president, whoever operated the autopen. But when they say that that was not good, they also - you know, you have to look, and you have to say the test was not so good either"

You know that Twilight Zone episode where the kid has amazing psychic powers and can make people disappear with his mind and the entire town is hostage to him and has to cater to his every whim? That’s us right now.

Please stop repeating that he is deporting people.

He is kidnapping them and trafficking them into a gulag in the fucking jungle.

We don’t do that to anyone, much less someone whose only “crime” is being undocumented. We don’t do that to fucking murderers for fucks sake.

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

Authoritarian states happen step by step, then all at once. But you couldn't get to this point from a healthy, functional state.

Black folks, Indigenous people, etc have been trying to tell you **based on our lived experience** that "regular" US politics & overt fascism are siblings, maybe twins.

Prices are up & economic warning signs are flashing red. Congressional Republicans need to stand up & vote no to Trump’s Tariff Tax increases. Quiet opposition won’t cut it. Time for bipartisan action ASAP.

We can "hang tough" forever and these tariffs will not make life easier or better for Americans

Columbia grad student with a green card and a pregnant US citizen wife, abducted by ICE because of his political organizing, and now his lawyers can't find him.

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov. This is your constituent. Bring him back home.
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.
