Trump convinced many voters that he would deport only violent criminals, and they are now aghast at the scenes unfolding as masked agents grab women and children from their cars and sweep up U.S. citizens. https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/may-9-2025?publication_id=20533&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=email-share&triggerShare=true&r=49qi9

Again, ICE is Trump’s Gestapo, and we shouldn’t even try to pretend otherwise. The Trump regime, which prides itself on free speech, is outraged that Khalil used his free speech to protest genocide...The hypocrisy is stark as it is dangerous. https://open.substack.com/pub/qasimrashid/p/ice-abducts-and-disappears-us-green?r=49qi9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

NPR has identified dozens of Jan. 6 defendants that Trump pardoned with prior convictions or pending charges for crimes including rape, sexual abuse of a minor, domestic violence, manslaughter, production of child sexual abuse material and drug trafficking.

The nation gained more jobs in Biden’s 4 years than it did under Trump’s 1st term of office, or under either of Obama’s or George W. Bush’s terms of office. Working-age women are now employed at record levels. The gap in employment between Black Americans & their white counterparts is at the lowest level ever. https://open.substack.com/pub/robertreich/p/will-trump-claim-credit-for-bidens?r=49qi9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

Don't let Vance fool you—Trump would separate millions of families. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/10/jd-vance-debate-border-migrant-family-separation/ via @MotherJones
