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.

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

WOW.
10+ Republicans just flipped in Montana and voted to kill a 25 year statute of limitations on trans care meant to end care, amended it down to 4 years.
This may not seem like a big deal, but it's huge. It's the most Republicans I've seen flip like this in recent memory.

U of Michigan's medical center is one of the only locations in the state where children can get hearing aids. Why? Because private insurers don't reimburse & Medicaid's reimbursement rate is too low for most hearing aid clinics.
Why can UM afford it? Because it gets indirect costs from NIH grants.

"My mother

My father

It is not lack of love

But the iron thing they carried, I will not carry."

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

All of this from @pastpunditry.bsky.social. The crisis is not *legible*. Even politically attentive people have no idea - the media are not conveying the scope and magnitude of what's happening. It has to be made legible through political and institutional resistance, not passivity and resignations.

Nothing to see here, folks. Just would-be dictator Trump giving $800,000 to his handpicked FBI chief who has vowed to use federal power to punish Trump's enemies.
