Each semester I go in my classroom and I try to figure out what we would use to block the doors, if it would be safe to crawl out the windows, where we could hide if there was a mass shooter in campus. It’s such an indictment of this country how we have normalized these preventable tragedies.

Here's Greg Bovino lying and saying the US citizen arrested by unidentified ICE agents in MN should have been carrying "immigrantion documents per the INA", which is FALSE.
The INA (Immigration and Nationality Act) does NOT require U.S. citizens to carry proof of citizenship.

📽️ WATCH: After a bird flu outbreak tore through Midwestern barns, which led to 18 million hens being killed and a spike in egg prices, the Department of Agriculture didn’t investigate whether the virus was airborne.
But ProPublica did.

This 20 year old citizen, Mobashir was tackled, brutalized & abducted by #ICE.
"I felt like I was getting assaulted. I was getting kidnapped. And that’s exactly what it was,” he said.
He poses this question: If this #ICELawlessness is happening on camera, what's happening off camera?
Speak out! 🧵

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

An really important thing a lot of people don't realize about Trump is that he doesn't bully people he doesn't think he can bully.
Let’s be clear.
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social got Trump so charmed that Trump posted two photos of the two of them with Franklin Roosevelt’s portrait behind them AND one of just Mamdani and FDR’s portrait.

“Shocks the conscience” is a legal term of art. In this case it’s a pretty good description of the typical reaction to these paramilitary goon squads. Shocking.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.
