The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships.
The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

I know that Jewels, Lexi, and Sam are gonna chew the scenery in #DragRace All Stars. And can’t wait to see what this year’s reign brings Onya! Her stage presence and charisma are truly something special.

GREAT episode of #RPDR tonight. I loved both Jewels and Onya, would have been happy with either winner. So thrilled to see their excellence celebrated and rewarded ❤️

NEW: ALA is going to court to stop the President’s attempts to illegally dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services.
The President does not have the authority to destroy a federal agency. That's why we're taking action with our co-plaintiff @afscme.bsky.social. #ForOurLibraries (1/3)

I've always been skeptical that Trump is a unique threat to our political norms and institutions. And now that he's shown everyone how easy it is, what's stopping the next guy from building on the authoritarian project? We're just hoping no one else has his shamelessness and nerve?

This argument would not be any different if the victim were a US citizen: sorry we "accidentally" disappeared a citizen, but he's a foreign policy matter now.
That is exactly the goal. They think they found an infinite gulag glitch that works on anyone, even citizens.

Despite admitting to having illegally sent a guy to El Salvador by mistake, and even though the U.S. is paying El Salvador to indefinitely imprison him, the DOJ is arguing that, well, nothing to do, it's not in our hands anymore. The general tone of their response is "welp, sucks to be him."

all of the talk of “reshoring (low end) manufacturing” and “bringing back the american worker” is a smokescreen for a plan to impoverish as many americans by forcing as many of them as possible into backbreaking, low wage labor. it’s discipline for an unruly populace.

Being a billionaire in the United States feels basically identical whether you have $10B or $100B, but feels very different if you can sexually harass your au pair and she can quit and get a different job vs if she is desperate to keep her job and has to put up with it because the economy is shit.
it is because they want to impoverish the country! they don’t want high end manufacturing. they want americans working subsistence wages making t shirts and clothes hangers
This is part of what’s so insane. As they talk about re-shoring and manufacturing they are actively trying to destroy an entire us manufacturing industry that already exists.

Thank you #Survivor48 for airing that scene with Joe, Shauhin, Kyle, and Kamilla. It speaks to the effort casting has made to make more ethnically diverse seasons, allowing people to not only be able to share their stories, but find common ground among their competitors

Just 10 days ago, Tulsi Gabbard said: “Any unauthorized release of classified information is a violation of the law and will be treated as such.”
That was before The Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg revealed he was added to a group chat of top national security officials—including Gabbard.

Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.
With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.
