Laura Loomer‘s tweet: Alligator lives matter. The good news is, alligators are guaranteed at least 65 million meals if we get started now.
The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.
Deporting children of military veterans because they were born on an overseas military base.
This man has no citizenship now.
What, precisely, is “a non-American citizen”?? If you’re a citizen, then you’re an American—NOT a non-American!
“I had a press ID round my neck, a large camera, a video camera … I was making a point of making myself visible as media,” he tells The Times

The Trump administration admitted in court filings on Monday that it mistakenly deported a Maryland father with protected legal status to an El Salvadorian prison due to an "administrative error," according to new reporting from The Atlantic.
I’m verifying this as fact; hence it’s verifiable!😂
“Moving fast and breaking things may work in some sectors,” but DOGE’s disruptions to a key food store for plant genetics “threaten irreversible losses of crop genetic diversity,” write Iago Hale and Michael Kantar, two agriculture professors.
If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.
Dr Timothy Snyder idenifies the concept of “charismatic violence” of deportations without due process—once it happens “to them”it could happen to you. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...
Can’t know specifically why this happened. But the DOGE boys were leafing thru the files and canceling some individual accounts that didn’t look right to them and there have been daily computer crashes at SSA after DOGErs canceled a number of the computer servicing/maintenance contracts
Musk claimed this 82 year old was dead, and clawed back $5,200 from his bank account 😡

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Always good when the authoritarian leader decrees who is and is not Jewish.
Because DOGE has shut down USAID's payment system (Phoenix), our housing electricity and the electricity in our USAID building have not been paid for. Mission leadership has informed us that the only reason our electricity is on is because we've asked for an extension from the electric company. The Mission asked for a waiver but because our payment system is down, the Treasury has no way to issue money to USAID and State Department representatives here are hesitant to make payments on our behalf for fear of not being reimbursed. 7. Once the electricity goes out in our homes, we lose access to our security cameras and radios. Again, I live in a high-risk post, so access to security systems is very important to me. 8. I have been told by Mission leadership that the cell phone and internet bills are due this week with no way to pay them. This is despite the so-called "waiver" process that has been allegedly implemented to preserve such access. 9. Our cell phones and radios are also the only way to communicate with the Regional Security Office about security threats. We have access to no other USAID security systems.
The agency is also considering spending about $25,000 to install a washer and dryer on the building’s 6th floor, according to a Feb. 25 invoice obtained by POLITICO. There is also a child’s play area decorated with a stuffed animal and toys, according to a photo of the room shared with POLITICO. “People are definitely … sleeping there,” said one GSA staffer.
DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America.
Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.
These people are so fucking weird and this will make great Dem TV ads

As a professor & a Jew I’m sick to my heart about the attack on Columbia—which is a) escalation of the war on all of higher ed; b) Jew-washing fascism, with the intention of inciting more antisemitism, which in turn will be used as cover for more fascism.
“Delays tariffs on Mexico and some on Canada.” Two words: market m.
This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower.
Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.
worth saying again that this was a bait and switch. if trump had openly announced he was running on allowing companies to discriminate against women and minorities he would not have won wapo.st/43aVQg1
"Threatening criminal proceedings for exercising the First Amendment is itself a violation of the First Amendment" is absolutely correct. Good letter from @aoc.bsky.social. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Today, the Iowa Legislature became the first ever to vote to remove gender identity from civil rights laws.
It’s hard to overstate how terrifying it is for any human being to lose civil rights.
California is going the other way: Expanding legal protections for trans people.
