On this May Day, it is more urgent than ever to beat back the right & build power for the working class. That’s why we’re proud to announce our platform for the 2025 DSA National Convention: “Seize the Moment!”

i have no doubt that senator van hollen was genuinely concerned for the safety and welfare of abrego garcia BUT ALSO this is what i'm talking about when i say POLITICAL AMBITION. van hollen may well make himself a household name and nationally recognized political figure with this move
One piece of context: Florida passed this law a few months ago to force local collaboration with ICE. boltsmag.org/florida-repu...
A Florida county is detaining and refusing to release a U.S. citizen born in the U.S., after ICE asked the county to detain him: floridaphoenix.com/2025/04/17/u...
Florida: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez (20) is being held in the Leon County Jail, charged with illegally entering Florida as an “unauthorized alien."
Lopez-Gomez is a U.S. Citizen, born in the USA. He showed his U.S. birth certificate in court. The judge held him in jail anyway.
This is Fascism.
I lament that the Court appears to have embarked on a new era of procedural variability, and that it has done so in such a casual, inequitable, and, in my view, inappropriate manner. See Department of Education v. California, 604 U. S. ___ , ___ (2025) (JACKSON, J., dissenting) (slip op., at 1–2). At least when the Court went off base in the past, it left a record so posterity could see how it went wrong. See, e.g., Korematsu v. United States, 323 U. S. 214 (1944). With more and more of our most significant rulings taking place in the shadows of our emergency docket, today’s Court leaves less and less of a trace. But make no mistake: We are just as wrong now as we have been in the past, with similarly devastating consequences. It just seems we are now less willing to face it.
An extraordinary separate dissent from Justice Jackson accuses the majority of trying to pass off its dirty work under the cover of the shadow docket and explicitly invokes Korematsu, the Japanese internment case. Wow. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
Very good turn out in Albany considering the wind + rain. A lot of regular ass people are pissed off.
The specific quote from General John DeWitt, justifying Japanese internment: “The very fact that no sabotage has taken place to date is a disturbing and confirming indication that such action will be taken.”
Anyone, anywhere, at anytime, for any reason. The lack of evidence is the evidence.
“The lack of specific information about each individual actually highlights the risk they pose.”
Something the Department of Justice actually wrote in a brief. In 2025.
My word.
Because there has been no violation of the Court's orders, and because the government is not prepared to disclose any further national security or operational security details to Plaintiffs or the public, the Court should vacate the hearing scheduled for this afternoon. The government does not make this request lightly. The Executive Branch has designated TdA a foreign terrorist organization, a designation that Plaintiffs do not challenge. The course of these proceedings in which the Court has enjoined removal of aliens whom the Executive Branch has determined are part of a foreign terrorist organization raises extraordinary concerns about the rule of law and the Executive Branch's ability to take swift actions to keep the Nation safe.
!!! NEW: DOJ tells Judge Boasberg that he should CANCEL the 5 p.m. hearing "because there has been no violation of the Court's orders, and because the government is not prepared to disclose any further national security or operational security details." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
When I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.
NEWS: After an emergency meeting of Indivisible groups across the country, Indivisible is officially calling on Senate Minority Leader Schumer to step down from his leadership position. indivisible.org/statements/i...
Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security.
That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.
The arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil—a green card holder whose wife is eight months pregnant—is a blatant assault on the First Amendment and a sign of advancing authoritarianism under Trump. He must be released now.
Update: DHS — whose officers conducted this detention — did not answer questions. It instead directed us to the White House.
Running a 1 million dollar surplus after austerity layoffs in a presidential election year that will define this generation’s struggle with capital and fascism is a profound indictment of the npc majority’s approach to leadership. Abysmal politics.

This is an organizing opportunity; rejecting vile sicko behavior from these fash boys denying payments is good politics.
NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.
A constitutional crisis requires friction to make it legible. That often comes from conflict between the branches of government, but a Republican-controlled Congress and SCOTUS are not interested in challenging Trump’s lawlessness. That why it’s *especially* important for Democrats to act.
