🚨From a 404 Media article today: “Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said at the recent Border Security Expo that his dream for the agency is squads of trucks rounding up immigrants in the same way that Amazon trucks are across the country delivering packages.”

ICE Just Paid Palantir Tens of Millions for ‘Complete Target Analysis of Known Populations’
The records show that Palantir is actively working on the technical infrastructure underpinning the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts which could soon impact U.S. citizens.

You know my post from earlier this week about those alarm bells? Well, they’re still ringing, and they’ve become both incessant + deafening.

This may be the most devastating Heather Cox Richardson newsletter I’ve read since January 20th, 2025.

The alarm bells can’t ring any louder. These men should NEVER, EVER be glorified or given a pass.

Many of us are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and afraid, like we don't have the power to fight back against the Trump administration's agenda. But as women around the world have shown us, WOMEN are the secret sauce to overcoming adversity. We don't back down.

To be clear, this discussion has definite nuances, but if you’re not concerned by this mindset AND you or your children rely on SSRIs or ADHD meds, you might want to make yourself familar, fast.

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

“[Cross] documents how tech platforms encourage us … to post, seethe + doomscroll into the void, always reacting and never acting.

Perhaps the greatest of these sins is convincing ourselves that posting is a form of political activism … [read more👇🏼]

In case you haven’t heard, your state’s Attorney General needs a word from you. Sample script below 👇🏼. And if you’re an Oregonian like me, that’d be Dan Rayfield at AttorneyGeneral@doj.oregon.gov.

A must-do, if you haven’t already: Building your own “Resistance soundtrack.” This is both self-care AND fuel to keep going; to stay energized and to continue to claim your power.

Suggested song: Linda Perry of 4 Non Blondes fame’s, “What’s Up?” SO, SO GOOD + cathartic to rage-sing to.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

I would caution people to stop relying on the Constitution as written to have any meaning other than what the people Trump put on the Supreme Court says it means.

"He can't do that" is not a useful response to the things he's going to do. The correct response is "Will the Court uphold that?"
Trump cannot abrogate birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment by way of executive order. That’s not how constitutional rights work.
