MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️ They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador. Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose. No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

Good News, per Democracy Docket! "SCOTUS declined to take a case from Michigan GOP lawmakers who used the radical independent state legislature theory to challenge two voter-approved pro-voting amendments to the Michigan Constitution. The amendments will remain in effect." www.democracydocket.com

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think. The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.

I took this pic of then Vice President Joe Biden in the Oval Office back in September 2015. I’ll never forget how, during the 2020 campaign, he would make a point of saying the press is NOT the enemy of the people. Thinking of President Biden as he takes on this next battle. Godspeed Mr. President.

I hate it when newspapers refer to Trump’s deal spree. Using the word deal supports the myth that he’s some kind of business genius.

Mike Johnson's annual salary is $223,500. He feels sympathy for members of Congress trading stocks while he cuts Medicaid for millions of Americans. Mike himself enjoys a subsidized health insurance plan by the government paid for by taxpayers. #MomSky #Voices4Victory

America is tragically deceptive right now. You can go out in your local community, and everything looks perfectly normal. It doesn’t look like a fascist dictatorship, it doesn’t feel like a failing democracy, which is why we’re in such trouble. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/americans-...

A friend told me yesterday that she’s skeptical that one person can impact the direction the country’s going in. Even if she’s right, we don’t have to make it easy for the people trying to destroy it. Still our flag, still our country.
