Birtherism “was a mere curtain raiser for today’s campaign of racialized delegitimization aimed both at nonwhite elected officials and journalists as well as nonwhite immigrants, regardless of status, along with U.S. citizens and U.S. military service members,” Soraya Nadia McDonald writes.
Opinion | Trump, Juan Crow and Who Gets to Be an American
The rights conferred to all by the Constitution are now subject to a sliding scale of extralegal violability depending on race, ethnicity or assumed immigration status.

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

“Americans are being forced to accept masked paramilitary forces stopping you anytime, anywhere—demanding to know where people are from,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social. “It is an assault on the idea of America itself.”

Content warning: blood, serious head injury. A woman was run down and trampled and clubbed by LAPD officers on horseback. She appears to be seriously injured and bleeding from the head as an officer drags her limp body along the pavement.

NASHVILLE mayor Freddie O’Connell: “By ICE’s own admission, a large % of people caught up in this sweep had no criminal record.”

These are some badass birds
These birds spent the winter in Argentina for crying out loud! To think that birds I banded made a 9,000 mile round trip and came right back to a field my students and I are stewarding on their behalf is one of the most beautiful feelings I’ve experienced as a scientist. ❤️ 3/3

I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.

To everyone shouting “no one is above the law” referring to that Milwaukee judge: We have a criminal in the White House. A guy who’s proven to be utterly lawless. And you’re perfectly fine with that. So take your “no one is above the law” bullshit and shove it up your ass.

The house revealed a budget plan that eliminates the Head Start program.
There are currently almost 780,000 children enrolled in Head Start who will suffer the loss of this program.
This shows republicans never cared about children but controlling women.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”
He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”
Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.

Wild that Rand Paul is out here making a clearer, more forceful case against Trump’s disastrous tariff policies than most Democrats eyeing a run for president.
Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

Who owns this company?
The Trump administration's Department of Energy has handed management of America's strategic petroleum reserve to a "little-known company" after what it calls a "rigorous competitive process."
The contract for this company — charitably described as a "lesser-known name" — is worth $1.4 billion.
