This is honestly one of the most repellent things the Supreme Court has done in my lifetime. It is a complete abdication of the rule of law, the Constitution, and basic fucking decency.

The fact that our military was perfectly happy to use weapons abroad in violation of the War Powers Act doesn't bode well for us when they are asked to use weapons at home in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.

In case anyone wondered if Rep Tom Kean Jr (R #NJ07) was on board with Trump bypassing Congress and pushing our nation into war: He just posted on X: "Thank you to President Trump and our second-to-none American military for carrying out this successful series of strikes." Hey Tom! You own this!

what are you supposed to do when the "good" political party doesn't treat a dozen credible sexual harassment claims as disqualifying for a political candidate. how are you supposed to ignore that

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

Habba and Noem were in Newark yesterday kicking off a month long operation called "Apex Hammer" with ICE. If you see an ICE operation, film, post with location.

Corruption on a massive scale, all in plain sight. The GOP is too craven and greedy for its own tax breaks to call it out.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

To be clear, Germany is cracking down on a Neo-Nazi party, and the US government is defending the Neo-Nazi party

Look at the grouping of men on this show right now. We are truly in hell.

A president who doesn't care about the Constitution. An attorney general with no regard for the Law, An FBI unconcerned with civil rights... What could go wrong?

There are three kinds of people: People who think suffering is okay as long as it's borne by the right people; People who think suffering is okay because they had to suffer; People who think suffering isn't okay. Be in the last category.

Virginia Giuffre survived Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network, fought for justice, and became a voice for so many. Today, that light is gone. The toll of abuse never truly ends, even when the headlines do. Honor her by fighting for those still unheard. Rest in power, Virginia.

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

HEALTH CARE IS NOT A REWARD FOR OBEDIENCE. DUE PROCESS OF LAW IS NOT A REWARD FOR OBEDIENCE. HUMAN RIGHTS ARE NOT A REWARD FOR OBEDIENCE. THESE ARE THE UNIVERSALLY ENSURED GUARANTEES OF A SOCIETY THAT TREATS ITS PARTICIPANTS AS PEOPLE RATHER THAN THINGS.

If I were a senator, @democrats.senate.gov I would be ON A PLANE to either Bluebonnet in Abilene or Harlingen NOW where Trump is about to send more people to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act with no meaningful due process.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

im sorry to be so divisive and partisan but i dont think the government should be inventing a criminal history out of thin air to justify sending someone to a concentration camp in a foreign country

SCOTUS, in a 9-0 vote ruled to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back. He refused. Judge Xinis ordered him to report back to her on his status. He refused. Only dictators ignore the judiciary and rule of law. Who's next? It could be anyone, if we don't continue to speak out and take to the streets.

bloomberg: ~90% of deported migrants to el salvador had no criminal record

Listening to Antoinette from @njwfp.bsky.social talk about mobilizing. Thanks for some tools to take action! #njgoc2025

This guy is a friend of ours. My husband taught his children. He's still in detention. Tell his story. He is incredibly well loved by his community. Nicest guy in the world. #FreeKarim https://www.nydailynews.com/2025/04/01/flemington-nj-resident-karim-daoud-detained-ice/

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off. We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

🤷🏻‍♀️

This shit is so tacky

We live in a very specific kind of hellhole

60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5

Karim Dauod is married to a US citizen & working towards his citizenship. He was following instructions related to his immigration case, was told to go to an ICE facility, and was detained there. No criminal history, and family hasn't been told WHY. www.nj.com/hunterdon/20...

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody. She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

👊 On Saturday, we're coming together across the country to demand: HANDS OFF OUR COMMUNITIES! HANDS OFF OUR FREEDOMS! HANDS OFF OUR DEMOCRACY! #HandsOff We won't be silenced! social.demcast.com/s/R9xGj8pF

CORY!

Hey @schumer.senate.gov if you can't rally the dems around this issue, then what can we count on you for? This should be slam dunk, yet you're nowhere to be found. newrepublic.com/post/193321/...

Oligarchs buying elections with million dollar giveaways. Hopefully people in Wisconsin won’t allow the South African to purchase a seat on your Supreme Court just like he bought the US federal government.

I wish people hated fascism half as much as they hate feminism

If you’re looking at the news of Dems flipping an R+15 state senate seat & thinking huh maybe I should run in my deep red district… 1. Look up your options at runforwhat.net 2. Check out some resources at runforsomething.net/candidate-resources 3. Get the book. bookshop.org/a/100021/978...
