Epstein mocked Trump for “leaving his nose print on the glass” while watching young women, wrote that Trump knew about illicit activity tied to Mar-a-Lago, and visited “many times,” and noted Trump’s planned visit to his neighbor Howard Lutnick’s house.
When exercising your rights becomes illegal, it's time to break the law.
Become Ungovernable.
Disobey in advance.
If You Think The Democrats Should Mention Trump Deporting A Two-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Without Process, Just Remember The Last Time You Sat Next To A Two-Year-Old On A Flight To D.C., By Matthew Yglesias
Kind, decent, and compassionate, Pope Francis was badly out of step with contemporary western culture.
For the love of God (or for demoing basic-consciousness): There are no “criminals” or “illegals.” There are people who commit crimes. And “crime” is not synonymous with “harm.” And legality does not equate w/morality, fairness, integrity, or even evidence-based truth.
Use your words wisely.
Happy Easter
Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.
It's worse, the staffer is wrong. Call them back and say, show me the provision in the SAVE Act that allows using a marriage certificate to confirm a name change. There isn't one. The people who drafted the bill knew what that meant. They left it out on purpose.
www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...
Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.
Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?
Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)
Oooh, I've got some anti-Christian bias to report; the current administration that targeting Catholics and Lutherans who work with migrants.
Really important to know: right now, his lawyers cannot litigate the serious first amendment issues that the law creates. Those issues will actually not be appealable until they get to the circuit court stage.
Khalil can raise his constitutional arguments both in his habeas petition (still pending in federal court in New Jersey), and once he is able to challenge the immigration judge’s ruling in the Fifth Circuit.
It sucks that he can’t raise them before the IJ, but that’s (unfortunately) not unusual.
Welp, I guess the bare-bones letter from Rubio was determined to be “facially reasonable and bona fide.”
Note that this was largely expected; the standard is exceptionally deferential. This decision will be appealable up to the Board of Immigration Appeals, and then again to the circuit courts.
OMG love that they finally interviewed this guy. Thanks to
@itstygrey.bsky.social for having started us down this path in doing a reverse image search on the tattoos in the "TdA intelligence report."
Before folks overreact to headlines about the judge’s ruling in the Khalil case, please note that (1) it was an immigration judge (IJ), not a federal district court; and (2) the IJ had no power to consider Khalil’s constitutional objections.
This particular decision was a fait accompli.
Hard to compete with this
Goldberg: I've never experienced this.. these are these are life and death issues and you don’t just put out specific targeting information, specific timings of attacks that have not yet taken place into a commercial messaging app.
X post by The Tennessee Holler (@T ...), featuring a verification badge and the "TN Holler" logo with the Tennessee state flag, posted 2 hours ago. The post reads, "MINNESOTA: state senator Justin Eichorn, who co-sponsored a bill to classify 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' as a mental illness... jailed for allegedly soliciting a teen for sex."
This is my shocked face.
X post from CNN reporter Priscilla Alvarez, QTing herself. The original post says: "The arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a prominent Palestinian activist, was based on a provision of immigration law that gives the administration broad authority on who can be subject to deportation, I'm told." The QT says: "Secretary of State Marco Rubio approved the use of a broad immigration authority to detain Mahmoud Khalil and another activist on Saturday, I'm told. It’s unclear what information he was provided prior to signing off on a rarely used provision of the law to arrest the activists."
!! This seems to confirm that the Trump admin invoked an obscure Cold War-era law, INA 237(a)(4)(C), which authorizes the Secretary of State to *personally* order any noncitizen to be deported on the grounds that their presence "would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences."
Cato has published an update to Alex Nowrasteh's research on terrorism committed by immigrants over the last 50 years. Your chance of dying in a foreign-born terrorist attack is 1 in 4.6 million annually. www.cato.org/policy-analy...
This is a five alarm fire moment; widespread destruction of government records in direct violation of law that may erase accountability forever. Such destruction may even be outright criminal.

Here’s a cybertruck getting booed at Orpheus to brighten your Lundi Gras:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Tuesday that she will not attend President Donald Trump’s address before a joint session of Congress, joining several Democrats who are opting to boycott the speech.
Instead, she'll be live posting and chatting here on Bluesky as well as going on IG live.
So I know not all of my followers are American but just so it isn't clear Canada, Mexico, and China are where America gets certain goods and materials like "Everything" and "All of it" and "Jesus christ dude like you're actually going to crash the economy."
“Layoffs are rising. Consumer spending — the backbone of the economy — unexpectedly dropped in January. Consumer confidence has plunged. A key GDP forecast suddenly turned negative. And extreme fear is back on Wall Street, with stocks sliding last month.”
