This is disgusting.

If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

This picture may haunt me to the end of my days.

It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man.

An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Bone chilling.

A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.

1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.”

Bombshell in North Carolina: the state's GOP-dominated Court of Appeals just sided with the GOP candidate in last year's supreme court race.

Their decision would toss roughly 60,000 ballots (!) that have been counted, & likely hand the election to GOP instead of incumbent Dem Justice who won it.

Zu Beginn der Corona-Pandemie schickte der damalige Gesundheitsminister Jens #Spahn vertrauliche Unterlagen an René Benko. Darin ging es um die Frage, ob große Warenhäuser wieder öffnen dürfen. Kurze Zeit später war es so weit - was Benko entgegenkam.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Ich finde es absolut fantastisch wenn Faschisten von Wahlen ausgeschlossen werden

Die vierte Gewalt regelt wieder

Seit wann übersetzt man „Geschichtsfälschung“ mit „Nationalstolz“?!

Ihr solltet diesen Fauxpas (oder war es gar Absicht?) schnellstens korrigieren.

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

Yep. ICE detention makes enormous sums for the private prison industry. There's a reason that Trump's victory sent their stocks shooting higher.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

"Mark my words: these elected officials will be responsive to their own voters. The answer, then, is to put pressure on these Republicans, because if they start to lose support from the very people responsible for electing them, that becomes existential for them in a way that Trump’s threats can’t."
