Reminder that, in recent days, children have rallied and protested for their freedom inside an ICE detention center where water has been described as "putrid" and meals reportedly contain “bugs,” dirt, and debris. This is where the kidnapped 5-year-old Liam Ramos is being held.

It's hard to overstate how destructive the reflexive "this is a distraction!" stuff that politicians and commentators and people are always peddling. Everything is happening all at once. That's how authoritarianism works. If you can't navigate and synthesize this, you're not meeting the moment.

Gonna repeat: Democrats love to ask how Trump voters can be so stupid. And yet, 50% of New Yorkers are supporting Cuomo who is a serial sexual harasser, got thousand killed during COVID, and orchestrated GOP control of the NY legislature.

Andrew Cuomo literally architected GOP control of the state legislature. He is the definition of a DINO. Do not rank Andrew Cuomo on your ballot.

The fact that tarrifs are on the top of front pages consistently while people getting abducted off the streets for their free speech without due process is relegated far lower should tell us everything about where much of the media establishment sees our priorities as a society.

I've been thinking about this post a lot. Those of us used to mainly acting through speech/speech acts of various kinds are going to need to get comfortable, --quickly-- with rapid *embodied* action of the kinds described below. And to do it collectively whenever possible.

The guy filming does a good job of questioning the masked abductors. We need more. I promise you, if something like this ever happens in my presence, I will make a scene. Filming, yelling for help, questioning the kidnappers, calling the cops, whatever. We cannot let these events happen quietly.

SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning. It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

SCOOP: ICE Revoking Students’ Immigration Statuses Without Their or the University’s Knowledge

“Never seen something like this,” say university officials about the secret targeting of Middle Eastern students.

When this presidency ends—and it will end—we need a Rooseveltian plan to not only undo the damage he did, but build bigger than we’ve ever built before. Big universal programs and mandates. Pack the SCOTUS. Kill Buckley v. Valeo and Citizens United v. FEC. New anti-trust laws aimed at Amazon. Etc.

Trump's executive order tonight has illegally cancelled union contracts for 67% of the federal workforce & 75% of unionized federal employees — roughly 700,000 union workers This may be the single biggest attack on the labor movement in American history

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.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying. They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks. From WCVB: youtu.be/PuFIs7OkzYY
