Suspending habeas corpus is as close as it gets to declaring a dictatorship. If that happens take the streets until the lunatics are out of office. You will NOT get a second chance if you fail.
Klobuchar on Stephen Miller saying the administration is considering suspending habeas corpus: "He's doing it because they don't want to focus on what's really in front of them, and that they have created havoc in our economy ... no, they're not gonna reverse habeas corpus in the Congress."
Brian Cox is one of my favorite humans alongside @hankgreen.bsky.social
Few people more despicable than Matt Walsh.
Matt Walsh has stopped remotely pretending that the right-wing media's obsession with trans athletes has anything to do with fairness. You can hear the hate in his voice as he testifies in favor of a bill to ban trans kids from sports and bathrooms in California. That's all this is.
One very minuscule joy will be watching this empty shell of a woman age like a banana the next few years (or months more likely)
"Shame on you" -- Leavitt gets mad at @andrewfeinberg.com for asking her about a document indicating that tattoos are all it takes for migrants to get sent to a slave prison in El Salvador
This is reaching dangerous and scary proportions really fast.
JD Vance: "The president has said clearly he doesn't think that military force is going to be necessary, but he absolutely believes that Greenland is an important part of the security not just of the US but of the world and of course the people of Greenland too ... this has to happen."
I don’t think most people realize the hell that is being a Venezuelan. It’s never ending suffering and tragedy. An endless stream of horrible things.
NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos. Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.
The US speed running through the Chavista playbook is insane. I thought it’d take years to get to this, not mere weeks.
Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.
Pathetic
Mark Warner on Fox: "I may disagree with the president, but I respect the office of the president. I'm probably not gonna be jumping up applauding a lot, but I owe him his due as president. The president has made great, great progress on border crossings. That's something we ought to celebrate."
Insanity
I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org
As someone who lost his country to Russia and Cuba: fuck you for eternity, Trump. Fuck you and all your descendants for a thousand years. Yours too, Vance. You cowards,
Trump to Zelenskyy: "Don't tell us what we're gonna feel. You're in no position to dictate that. You're in no position to dictate what we're gonna feel. We're gonna feel very good and very strong. You're right now not in a very good position. You're gambling with World War 3."

Replies here confirm that most people don’t know how multi-billion dollar companies work. Taking that down in less than 48h is amazing actually. It must’ve gone through like 16382 layers of PR, Legal and many other departments before they were able to take it down.

Been shouting this for years. The US government is just his latest collateral.
His illiquidity is the danger. He has to keep doing shit like this. The Not Actually Real Money Bus must be kept above $200 billion or it will explode. All of this shit is basically debt and blackmail and it's forcing people like Musk into increasingly precarious and dangerous positions.
