I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

SpaceX just landed a $5.92B contract with the Pentagon for Space Force rocket launches — the largest contract among the three firms who secured deals to send satellites into orbit.
While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall.

Yesterday, we sent a historically big message to Trump, Musk, and the GOP — and we also sent a signal to all those who agree with us but have spent the last few months feeling shaken, hopeless, and afraid. #handsoff

No way. You mean the guy who has said this multiple times and almost didn’t leave the White House last time and breaks the law every day and said “I am the law”? No way.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Absolutely terrifying…
The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again.
This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

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.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

There is no point in Senate Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds.
Dems should only vote for a continuing resolution if it stops DOGE pillaging and fully funds services.

Schumer thinks he still lives in a world where political moves now can affect political moves later. He doesn’t. We live in a world where a fucking loon is raping and destroying the country, and the only thing that matters is whether you vote “yes” or “no” on whether he should be allowed to do that.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.
