I worked on the US Open for over a decade a lot of my friends are still on the gig, hopefully one of ‘em in the TV trucks says f*ck the USTA & shows the crowds reaction to Trump. I’m sick of all the lying down for fascism, he has a sordid history at Open including sexual assault.

I am so proud at the folks in my little town who came out to stand up to Fascism! This is a tribute to the folks in California who did this, wearing black outfits, covering their faces. It was an honor to film this for my community. If you look carefully you'll see my mom waving.

As we predicted: Joe Kent is planning to use the law enforcement apparatus to imprison Black activists and antifascists as “terrorists,” essentially unleashing the far-right terrorists of the Proud Boys by looking the other way as they get the green light.

So as Justice Sotomayor says, “The implication of the Government’s position is that not only noncitizens but also US citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal"

It is impossible to capture how catastrophic Trump’s recent moves and statements are for US defense contractors—this will have a huge trickle-down industrial effect given supply chains and subcontractors.
I mean... holy shit.

Holy cow❗

People apparently _returned_ from El Salvador for mistaken identity etc. in Alien Enemies Act deportations.

This new development appears to show that the Trump administration's claim that they know all detainees sent to El Salvador prison were properly vetted may be dangerously false.⬇️
ACLU attorney Gelernt says there were people who were returned from El Salvador after the flights because they either weren't Venezuelan or were women and the El Salvadoran government declined to take them.

BOASBERG vows to get to the bottom of whether his order was violated.

This moment in our country's history is depressing, but it's also illuminating. We're finding out, in real time, whom among those in power will hedge their bets, trade complicity for personal preservation, and retreat into cowardice in the hopes they'll be spared.

And we will remember their names.

Trump & MAGA - Keep ‘em dumb.

Knowledge is power. Republicans don’t want you educated because they know you’d never vote for an agenda as awful as theirs if you’d developed critical thinking skills and had the ability to fact-check all their lies.

Just one more step towards full on fascism.

Musk set to get access to top-secret U.S. plan for potential war with China
Giving Elon Musk access to some of the nation’s most closely guarded military secrets is a major expansion of his role as an adviser to President Trump and highlights his conflicts of interest.

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred.

Make no mistake: I'm in the Montana House because I believe that's where I can do the most good.

States are THE front line. They are where heinous policies are first tested & fought against. And when the federal gov't goes rogue, state legislatures are a critical line of defense for our communities

Schumer wants us to believe Senate Dems are powerless while literally providing the votes to ensure the GOP agenda goes forward.

If a shutdown was better for Trump, the House GOP wouldn't have passed this CR and the Senate GOP wouldn't vote for it.

Schumer knows that; he's outright lying to us.
Schumer: "For sure, the Republican bill is a terrible option. It is not a clean CR. It is deeply partisan. It doesn't address far too many of this country's needs. But I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option."

Accommodation and acquiescence. Learned helplessness and preemptive surrender. Retreat and complicity.

In the midst of an unprecedented assault on the constitutional order, the nominal opposition party simply refuses to use the one key tool in its arsenal to push back. An utter disaster.
