Trump wants to send citizens merely accused of crimes to foreign prisons where he can claim the U.S. has no jurisdiction to bring you back, even after the judiciary orders it. Once that happens even a single time, nothing will stop ICE from doing the same thing to you that they did to Abrego Garcia
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.”

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?"

This is our moment. This is our time.

We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

Ukrainians need diggers, cranes & trucks! Constantine shows receipts & proof of an OUTSTANDING way to save lives and defend democracy. I WILL MATCH UP TO $2.5K to his Paypal fund below. Donate by 7th Jan & put "diggy diggy hole" as the message (+DM me if you want) and I'll match. US tax deductible.
I would like to demonstrate the equipment you helped deliver to Ukraine in action. It might inspire others to contribute and help the fundraiser reach its goal. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and perhaps you could make a meaningful gift to these engineers by donating:

As I’ve said before: Nonprofit journalism needs your help to thrive.

Be sure to pick at least 1 newsroom you care about — the niche one you read, the local one that’s emerging — & back it. If it’s Bolts, I’m delighted, but I have so many colleagues doing amazing work & finishing up their budgets.
