Gavin Newsom calling the kidnapping and forced permanent exile of Kilmar Abrego Garcia... a distraction? False charges, an absurd case, reamplified by the admin,to the point where Gorka is calling anyone calling for his return a supporter of terrorism? That's a distraction, you son of a bitch?

Tell us about the retaliation. Tell us who it’s happened to, who did it, and what it was.

We've reached the point where Republicans are flying to El Salvador to visit one of the most vicious prisons in the world to have photo ops so they can prove their loyalty to the President of the United States.

I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia. The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should never have been abducted. I won't rest until then.

The thing that’s very important to remember about American conservatives and any other sort of fascist is that anytime they posit some value or principle or positive outcome, they are lying. Every time they talk about stealing and enslaving and murdering and terrorizing, they are telling the truth.

Man films and confronts two suspected undercover ICE officers (potentially NYPD) after they racially profiled and handcuffed a random civilian. Keep doing this shit. Make these fuckers famous. Make all police and immigration officers fear having their faces known to the masses.

All the norms of this profession's mainstream are aligned against speaking straightforwardly about what is happening to this country. That's not just true today. It has always been true.

Saying that "autism is preventable" is essentially saying that autistic people should not be born. It's a eugenicist claim.

President Trump and Elon Musk are considering completely eliminating Head Start, leaving more than a million families without access to high-quality child care. The ripple effect of this horrible decision will be felt by children, parents, workers, businesses, and our economy.

I'm sorry, what now?!

Thank you to the #LosAngeles patriots that showed up to a last minute protest at the consulate general of El Salvador in support of Kilmar and others. 50+ people and some media coverage! @maddow.msnbc.com @indivisiblewestsidela.com @samo-indivisible.bsky.social

This is it, folks. Far larger than Harvard itself, as large as Harvard is. Every nonprofit from the center leftward is on notice for potential destruction.

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

oh, no, it’s okay. i hated quality of life improvements and simple conveniences anyways

I have been advocating for Kilmar Abrego Garcia & now it's time to also put our attention onto Andry Hernandez Romero. trump condemned him to CECOT, in El Salvador. He came here as a gay man to seek asylum; he committed no crime in the U.S. and has followed all the steps here to seek asylum.

Sen Van Hollen met with El Salvador's Vice President Félix Ulloa, who told him that the reason they are holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia at CECOT is because the Trump admin is paying them to do so. They also provided no evidence that Abrego Garcia is part of MS-13 or committed any crimes.

🔥🔥🔥 Congratulations @itsafronomics.bsky.social. I cannot wait to read this. 🙏🏻👏🏻

Leadership. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Democrats who think this should say it out loud rather than hiding behind anonymity. Cowardice upon cowardice.

The president has reportedly urged Congress to pass $175 billion for border security. But residents of Del Rio, Texas, and Douglas, Arizona, say their basic needs — like safe drinking water and hospital access — aren’t being met. @anjeanette-damon.bsky.social and Perla Trevizo w/ @texastribune.org

Staffer at Senator Warner’s office says Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a Maryland resident so Sen. Warner has no responsibility to him. What??? Please call and demand that our reps stop these cruel and illegal seizures. 202-224-2023

The UK supreme court has gutted the legal recognition of trans people. They also recognized the concept of sex based rights which is just absurd. There's no such thing as sex based rights. There is the right to be free from discrimination on the basis of sex. www.cbsnews.com/news/uk-supr...

It is entirely within the realm of possibility that Trump could tell Bukele to put Sen. Van Hollen into the concentration camp. That's the level of bravery here. And it's the kind of courage that's unfortunately necessary against these fascist bastards.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

This is something we can all do.👇🏼 File a complaint with the FL and DC Bar to have Pam Bondi disbarred for not complying with the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to return Mr. Garcia from El Salvador.

They taped a threat letter to the door of his home that included pictures of him walking his dog from the vantage point of a drone! Holy shit. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Whistleblower www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n... youtu.be/TsqgXfrSksI?...

This is absolutely wild

My “spidey-sense” is saying we should keep our eyes on this. www.reuters.com/world/us/top...

Just so we’re clear on this. Abrego Garcia is the test to see how far the Administration can go and at what consequence. The U.S is paying El Salvador $6 million to imprison 300 undesirables for a year. Garcia is being used to see what the Administration and foreign governments can get away with.

If due process has been denied for anyone, it can be denied for you too! If anyone can be snatched off the streets and deported without due process, it can happen to you too!! We demand due process for every single person!! #MomSky #Voices4Victory

This story is absolutely getting overlooked. They are deploying the military within US borders. This is so dangerous for Natives from border tribes, and all public lands users in this region. And they won't restrict it to the border, this is just where they are starting.

This is the first year that Francisco has harvested mandarin oranges. He's working near Sanger CA and shares: The work is dangerous. I've seen other workers get injured so I'm very careful. The pay is low but I do it as my family depends on me. #WeFeedYou

talking to my friends in real life these days is fascinating. they tell me about reality tv shows and I tell them about how we now live under fascism

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

the immigration court's determination that Mahmoud Khalil *can be deported doesn't necessarily mean he *will be but it still greenlit political retribution against legal residents who exercise their free speech rights and *that means all Americans are in danger ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

The waste, fraud, and abuse rhetoric is a scam. This administration is stealing from the least of us to fatten the pockets of billionaires while regular folks live in growing despair. Not only will Trump bankrupt us financially, he is bankrupting us morally. Billionaire Tax Bailout #MomSky

Proud of this little act of resistance inspired by #seattletroublemakers and made with care in Seattle by an all-volunteer cast & crew. Big thanks to @alexwinter.com for the most excellent narration! And @laceyleavittgray.bsky.social for asking me to direct! 🙏 #teslaregretsyndrome #crewtopia

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.

Supporters will gather at the US Supreme Court on April 22 to rally on behalf of authors whose books form the core of Mahmoud v. Taylor, a case brought by a group of Maryland parents against the Board of Education for the Montgomery County school district. pen.org/authors-spea...

The full clip I just tweeted about with @mollyjongfast.bsky.social talking about why trying to get universities to address antisemitism is only about control.
