They are making lists. This should terrify anyone who's not a complying white Republican-voting Christian. Like me.
There should be bipartisan concern about the reports that DOGE is merging HHS, Social Security, and IRS data into one database.

That is the trifecta of personal information, and any competent person (or machine) could essentially put together a complete profile of your life.

BREAKING: A Milwaukee County judge has been arrested by the FBI for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant “evade arrest,” FBI Director Kash Patel announced.

Judges don’t get arrested in a functioning democracy.

They support the parts of the Constitution they like, and claim anything they don't like is unconstitutional, even if it's literally in the Constitution.
Sanders: Our conservative friends say, “We support the Constitution.”

Well, if you support the Constitution, you don’t throw people into detention centers in El Salvador.

As @marisakabas.bsky.social writes, Trump's attempts to "fight antisemitism" are really about using it as a pretext for censorship and thought policing www.thehandbasket.co/p/it-was-nev...
It was never about antisemitism
From abducting college students to an attack on a Jewish governor, Trump’s real motivations remain clear.

If the NORRA or 'No Rogue Rulings Act' is passed it'll supercharge attacks on marginalized people by giving even MORE power to Trump.

Sanders: A woman is walking down the street, a car stops, and these guys — in plain clothes and masks — grab her, throw her into the car, and take off. That happened in Vermont today. That’s the kind of thing that happens in dictatorships, not in a democracy.

🚨 April 19 is happening — and it’s more than just a protest.

Yes, people will be in the streets again. Others will be organizing food drives, volunteering at shelters, hosting teach-ins, and finding other creative ways to show up for their communities and push back against this administration.

Sobering historic fact: The anti-communist McCarran-Walter Act that Rubio is using to deport students in the name of antisemitism was written by an antisemite, and in practice, used to block European Jews from entering the US. Such tools can be used on any immigrant group for any reason.

this is a staggering amount of money to build camps—suggesting that building & running a gulag will be the primary function of the otherwise gutted Trump-state

This is outrageous.

Seniors, people with disabilities, and families shouldn't be forced to go to Elon's website to learn what's happening to their hard-earned benefits.
