California history is ugly and brutal. Sure, there may be a happy story or two, but those are mostly found in the aftermath. The true story of California is one of land theft, and that continues to this day. 1/7

"History is not on your side!"

This is real life.

Chris Van Hollen risked his life traveling to El Salvador to find out what he could about one of his constituents. ONE. An immigrant who had been in the US for 19 years. He may not have even voted for Van Hollen, but that's not what matters here, and Van Hollen knows this. 1/5

Note that all 5 original plaintiffs in the Boasberg case denies that he is even a member of Tren de Aragua--meaning it's possible that there is a multiple Arbego-Garcia problem.

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

Good show. Long show. New TNL is up.

Nice!!!

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

🚨Here is Judge Boasberg's opinion finding that he has probable cause that the government in CRIMINAL contempt for defying his orders on March 15: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

oh ok give me a moment while I look for my shocked face 🙄 oh wait that’s not it 🤮dang where is it 😵‍💫oh wait here it is 😱

This is what it means to work for the people.

"An elected Democrat ought to be on the ground in El Salvador every minute of every day...." THIS PART @jvl.bsky.social 👏👏👏

I think every Dem should do interviews with the Bulwark because frankly they're the likeliest to ask interviewees whether they'll invade El Salvador

Hey cool people.....26,000 of you!??! How rad is it to know that our little speck nearly matched LA's attendance of 36,000?!?!! Trump country, my butt! We can do this! ✌️

I wish I did not have crippling anxiety and gut issues. Bernie and AOC are making a stop at our tiny speck on the map: the campus of Folsom Lake Community College. I hope it is a safe and life-changing event for all. Thank you @sanders.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social ✌️❤️

The US has a long history of welcoming immigrants, to take advantage of their labor, and then calling them criminal when they are no longer needed.

THIS IS WHAT OUR REPRESENTATIVES ARE SUPPOSED TO DO.

1/2 A thought on funding for public education: Federal funding is a hurdle that public schools should not have to worry about. State funding is based on taxes within the school district. The history of redlining means a perpetual inequality of resources.

Basically: I don’t think people understand that 36 hours from now it’s possible that America will have a formalized system for abducting enemies of the regime and stashing them in foreign gulags, indefinitely. www.thebulwark.com/p/bukele-abr...

This is absolutely essential from @benjaminwittes.bsky.social

The U.S. House of Representatives voted Thursday to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a major voter suppression measure that, if it became law, could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters and badly undermine U.S. democracy. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This. ⬇️

GOP Senators voted to cancel Donold’s tariffs on Canada. I almost forgot that Congress could rebuke him if they really wanted to.

The economy is crashing, people's retirement accounts are being incinerated, recession fears are mounting, and Trump is at a golf tournament. He could not give less of a shit about anyone other than himself.

“What happened? You helped elect Donald Trump you fucking moron” - @timmiller.bsky.social

OH, THIS ISN'T FAMILIAR AT ALL. (damn, my eyes are gonna stick if they keep rolling so hard)

Schumer needs to step down and let someone else run with the baton. He's been snoozing under a tree while the rest of us are waiting for the hand off. chng.it/m7QsfSMrrF

We have been trapped by fear for too long "unstable" "dangerous" "tinderbox" That is how the US describes the Middle East and its people. Why is that? No, really: Why?

The humanity in this conversation is beautiful
