I hope Thomas and Alito understand that they've essentially given the next Democratic President the ability to send both of them to Guantanamo.

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

A Member of Congress —who was at the facility today with the Newark mayor — told Alicia Menendez on air tonight that the Newark mayor was invited into the detention facility. And then when he left, ICE arrested him for trespass!

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi says she is going against corrupt judges. In case you wonder why she hasn’t gone after the most corrupt, Clarence Thomas, there is a professional courtesy between lawyers who take bribes.

“Ten years after the far-right Law and Justice Party was elected to power in Poland, and two years after their defeat in national elections, a last vestige of the party’s state-sanctioned anti-LGBTQ+ policies has finally been eliminated.” Great news from Poland. www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/04/pola...

I just posted a new video breaking down the troubling arrest of a Milwaukee state court judge — why the case looks legally weak, and how it fits into a broader pattern of attacks on the judiciary. Stay engaged. #Judiciary #RuleOfLaw #Milwaukee #LegalAnalysis #Democracy

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.

You know all those budget lines that the Republicans zeroed out in the CR? It only took a couple of hours for Trump to issue orders shutting down those organizations like the Interagency Council on Homelessness that coordinates the whole of government approach to our homeless. Nice job, Schumer!

They started with the undocumented, then they went after visa holders and permanent residents, now it's naturalized citizens. How many times must history rhyme and repeat before we realize what's going on?
