Gavin Newsom: “Masked men. Jumping out of unmarked vehicles. People disappearing. No due process. No oversight. No accountability. People say I’m being hyperbolic. Bullshit. This is happening in America today.”

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

From the memory hole: There was a hostage release and ceasefire deal in place by the Biden administration 10 months ago. It was allowed to expire in March, under Donald Trump, and now it's been revived and rebranded, with Donald taking full credit like always.

Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 1d

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

After 27 years and 1,500+ people managed, I can say this with pride: I’ve never cursed out or belittle anyone on my team.

Leadership isn’t about fear — it’s about respect.

If you’ve done it, it’s never too late to do better.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

Americans really believed there was "a deep state," aka norms and people adhering to them. There is little. Little public pushback. Not going nuclear by releasing anything damaging they might have. No "Deep Throat" this time to save the country.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

White man Mike Johnson appears to be refusing to seat an elected Latina because a fellow white man and his friend, Donald Trump, is reportedly in the files of another white man, an international child sex trafficker and child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein. This is white male privilege at work.

Rep. Dave Min @congressmin.bsky.social · 2d

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.

We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

This child, Rahaf Saleem Al-Bayouk was killed three days ago by Hamas militias during their attack on the al-Majaida family in Khan Yunis.

That same day, Hamas killed 7 Palestinians — including an elderly man, a woman, and two children.

You won’t hear this bc no media coverage of Hamas’s crimes
