Phang: Vance Boelter received better treatment when taken into custody than Narciso Barranco—a Mexican immigrant working at IHOP, landscaping in the parking lot under the hot sun on a Saturday—who was beaten by Border Patrol agents.

This is Trump’s America. It’s not the America I want to live in. Violence against anyone on our soil, let alone violence against a US Citizen by a group of thugs racially profiling our communities is unacceptable! @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @mikethompson.house.gov @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov

There really is something special about what Zohran and Brad are showing the rest of the world what it still means to be a New Yorker and an American. A Jew and a Muslim modeling a politics of mutual respect, rejecting cynicism. Human decency has been taking a beating but she's not out just yet!

Unbeknownst to state legislators, FL Gov. Ron DeSantis uses SOEP on immigration to clear the way for a multimillion dollar prison project to house 5,000 people who will be held there prior to being deported. We are one of the top pariahs on the world stage. Wow apple.news/AjOCk8usJQJS...

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

The Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively ruling, for now, that the Constitution no longer applies, at least not to immigrants. Fast-track deportations with no opportunity for judicial review violate the fundamental principle of due process, especially for people already on U.S. soil.

On the 3rd anniversary of Roe being overturned the GOP’s war on women has escalated. They want to wipe out 1 in 4 abortion providers—even in states where abortion is legal. 90% of closures would hit safe haven states. This isn’t about states’ rights. It’s about no rights at all. Keep fighting!

The rest of the world are not idiots, especially our traditional allies that Trump has taunted & shunned. There’s clearly talented leadership emerging, such a Mark Carney who will fill the void Trump has created but make no mistake about how they are viewing our unhinged POTUS.

2 ways to look at the ruling setting Kilmar Abrego Garcia free. 1. The government doesn’t have much credibility to its case & the judge isn’t buying it. 2. The government is pulling out all the stops to railroad the guy.

DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases. This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.

As J. Sotomayors dissent says, the Republican Justices seem to think the Trump admin is injured “any time a court orders…it to refrain from doing something it would like to do.” But it cares nothing for the people sent to countries they don’t know - places they’re at risk of slavery, torture, more.

In the 2017 fiscal year, FedEx owed more than $1.5 billion in taxes. The next year, it owed nothing. What changed was the Trump administration’s tax cut — for which the company had lobbied hard. They promised to reinvest, but of course, they didn't. www.nytimes.com/2019/11/17/b...
