This is straight-up fascist dictatorship activity. Not fascist-adjacent or “reminiscent of authoritarian regimes” or whatever euphemistic bullshit — fascism.
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

This fascist thinks he’s the good guy and not a domestic threat. Anyways Nazi collaborators like Michael here are just nazis without the balls to just say it.

I know Lia Thomas through her wife Gwen.

She came to my wedding. She's one of the kindest women I've ever gotten to know, and the hate she gets is despicable.

Glad to see Parker cover her.

This is why it's important for people to keep saying, loudly and often, "this is illegal" in response to the illegal actions of this administration. Smarmy responses to the effect of "lol, like it matters" are compliance in advance.

If you concede law doesn't matter, you're doing Trump's work.

Important article detailing Elon Musk's corrupt infiltration of the FAA using a SpaceX/DOGE employee, Ted Malaska,
"who arrived at the agency last month with instructions from SpaceX’s owner, Elon Musk, to deploy equipment from the SpaceX subsidiary Starlink across the FAA’s communications network."

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:

IF. YOU. LIKE. SOMETHING. SAY. SOMETHING.

I know so many people who are like "well I don't know what to say so I just don't" and like

_anything_

If you don't say anything, the artist will often just... stop.
You may have seen this post circling talking about how important it is to tell creators when you appreciate what they do.

The irony is it's MY post from Tumblr stolen by someone else. Please reskeet THIS post & NOT the stolen one bc we support creators making their own work on bluesky.

We (grassroots resistance) did in fact beat Trump (in 2020)—only to see the Democrats lose to him as a consequence of their entanglements with the ruling class. But we can beat him again.

yeah the obsessive focus on antipalestinian policies is all about their grotesque apocalyptic vision for the earth and the bloody prerequisites for jesus' return. people like mohammed khalil, protesting for justice, are caught in this bloodthirsty ideology
Christians nationalists’ obsession with Israel has nothing to do with them liking Jews or being concerned for their welfare. It’s quite the opposite.

See also the step from "revoking a green card due to political beliefs" to "using the rest of the punitive power of the state against disfavored political beliefs"
The step from "revoking a green card due to political beliefs" to "revoking citizenship for innate characteristics" is so infinitesimally small you'd be a fool not to see where this is going.
This development is a horrifying and further escalation of the very topic I wrote about yesterday evening: The Trump administration’s move from governmental changes to individual attacks focused on political opponents. www.lawdork.com/p/trump-test...

The surest sign that the Trump assault on public education/the DoE is only beginning. The regime’s chief propagandist is on the case.

If you’re from outside the U.S. and thinking of a holiday here I recommend not risking it. This isn’t a safe country for anybody right now.
Our daughter Becky, a 28-year-old British tourist, has been caught up in the recent immigration crackdown in the US. What was meant to be a life-changing four-month backpacking trip across North America has turned into a nightmare.

Again when I asked why we were letting an open racist hold billions in government contracts I was told we had to because NASA couldn’t build rockets.

this is so fucking funny but it’s moments like this is a reminder of how important aesthetic is to politics. i don’t know how to get around the fact that on the median voter thinks bernie sanders is more moderate than kamala harris. what do you do about that
the conservatives that Sam Seder debated in that Jubilee video were so bad that the online right has convinced themselves that the conservatives were actually the leftists and that Sam was the conservative
