If you'd like to see how ProPublica measures success, check out our brand new annual report which chronicles the impact of our work in 2024. Always a thrill to see what words can do when applied in good faith for the public good: www.propublica.org/atpropublica...

This was the biggest shift in mindset when I came to ProPublica and I'm grateful for it: "The decision to measure success by impact — not clicks, pageviews, ad sales, subscriptions or any other metric — is ProPublica’s other major contribution to nonprofit journalism" www.poynter.org/business-wor...

Last night I wrote about Abrego Garcia’s case. Today, SCOTUS confirmed it’s true. Even though their stay is just temporary, he remains in cruel & unusual conditions in a foreign prison with no recourse. It could happen to any of us. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

The Fourth Circuit is famously succinct. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

What are the odds that enough Supreme Court Justices believe we shouldn't put people in foreign torture prisons without due process & especially when the government misrepresents the evidence it has in briefs it submits to the Court?

If "protests in all 50 states" wanted above-the-fold coverage in @nytimes.com, they should have been "seven random Americans" instead

Fed Judge: “They do indeed cling to the stunning proposition that they can forcibly remove any person—migrant and U.S. citizen alike—to prisons outside the US, and then baldly assert they have no way to effectuate return because they are no longer the ‘custodian’..." www.huffpost.com/entry/maryla...

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

If they can illegally send anyone to an El Salvador prison illegally and not bring them back, they can illegally send you to an El Salvador prison and not bring you back. How can anyone defend this?

Where is our humanity?

A functioning democracy needs consistent principles—and the courage to stand up for them, even when it’s hard and requires sacrifice! BARACK OBAMA: “It’s up to all of us to fix this!” #standup

Tim Walz right now, speaking to the Network for Public Education in Columbus: “If you want to know who I think the leader of the democratic party is right now, just go out on the streets. They’re all over the place. They’re out there.” @governorwalz.mn.gov

the audacity of claiming protestors are being paid when musk literally pays people to vote is just beyond

Remember that this is where his discussions with El Salvador began. The migrant detentions there are the dry run. He wants to ship U.S. prisoners to El Salvador.We cannot sleepwalk through this.

MAGA be like "he has a plan, he's playing chess not checkers" and the whole time he's literally just playing golf.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

if Kristin Noem can coordinate a media stunt at the prison he is at then they can get him released.

it is because they want to impoverish the country! they don’t want high end manufacturing. they want americans working subsistence wages making t shirts and clothes hangers

NEW: A man mistakenly deported to El Salvador must be brought back by midnight Monday, judge rules

Hi, sending people to El Salvador, if they're not from El Salvador, is not deportation. It's human trafficking, and this entire regime is complicit in crimes against humanity. I hope I live long enough to see them all stand trial with the whole world arrayed against them.

Fox Business airs segment on the virtues of penury.

Exactly!!

#maddow Just so you know. . .

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Cory Booker is the Steph Curry of talking, future senators will be putting up 48 hour filibusters like it's nothing. He has changed the game.

At this moment of autocrats vilifying judges and the rule of law, lawyers can prove why they're lawyers. This is the time to stand up for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and for people under attack.

do you think Cory Booker can make it for 3 years and about 10 months longer?

I’m not saying everyone needs to do *this*. But @booker.senate.gov figured out the biggest best thing HE could do right now. And then he did it. Everyone needs to do *that*.
