If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

There are only two things that stand between Trump and being a dictator -- the courts and elections. Trump wants to send a clear message to law firms that he will go after them.

When only one party deals in facts, facts start to sound political.

Trump is reportedly preparing an executive order to ban transgender Americans from serving in the military.

This would medically discharge 15,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines.

This is un-American and will make us less safe. But hey, a bunch of civilians on X love it.

MAGA trolls on Twitter continue to say Bluesky users are “all bots.”

Repost this and follow us if you’re a real person! 💙✌️

Which is precisely why the GOP constantly seeks to control and degrade the education process.

If you keep voters dumb and afraid, they’re far easier to manipulate.

Pam Bondi, Trump's new pick for AG, has a very long history from when she was Florida's attorney general of helping Trump legally after he gave her contributions.

And there's more you need to know.
