It’s unbelievable that there’s not more OUTRAGE in the @housedemocrats.bsky.social the @democrats.senate.gov the media & in the country at large about legal citizens being sent to a El Salvador prison without any legal process🤬

Seems to me coming here to pursue asylum or to work are equally bad reasons to sentence someone to slave labor and torture in another country.

I’m not sure which I feel more: The pangs of hope hearing right wing influencers realizing somethings not right or the schadenfreude of hearing right wing influencers realizing the horrible monster they created.

Fuck Joe Rogan. He spews his books hated, have Trump a platform to lie about Kamala, refused to work with her regarding an appearance. What the fuck does he expect? This is partially on his head.

to push back against everything that’s happening in this moment requires a broad coalition. we need to embrace and welcome every voice we can in this fight.

Rogan is of course one of the reasons we are where we are, and his redemption arc cannot possibly start and finish here.

Yet in saying this, he’s shown more balls than most Senate Dems have in the last 3 months.

Yeah, I can definitely appreciate the irony of someone leading us down this path of destruction, then belatedly stopping to say, "Wait, what just happened?!"

Uhhh...too late. You helped set the machine in motion bro'. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Seriously wonder whether he would actually change course. 🤔

we need to welcome Joe Rogan to the resistance with open arms, not push away those that are seeing and understanding the problems we’re facing. we need a broad coalition with a common goal: meet the moment and resist this authoritarian threat.

I would agree wholeheartedly if I thought he could be relied upon to continue on this path, but I'm not yet convinced. I have trust issues. 🤷🏻‍♀️
