Trump Admin. failure to properly follow court orders in Abrego Garcia case is grave threat to civil liberties of US citizens, as well as immigrants. We must stop this slippery slope before go further down it: reason.com/volokh/2025/...

report with alt text community-led arrest preventions or de-arrests are incredibly effective. UK antifascists have done this to great success to protect refugees over the past 5 years. all about how quickly you can get people on the street to crowd the scene

Bring home Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

TAX DAY Protest at PA-01 GOP Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick's office to speak out about GOP cuts to SNAP and Medicaid. Stop the cuts It's not fair Make the rich Pay their share!

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

Look if we’re ignoring Supreme Court rulings then every American woman has a right to an abortion again

A gentle reminder that you can do something to make the world suck less for yourself and the people you care about:

Undocumented immigrants paid hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes over the last 10 years — while 6 tech giants dodged $278 billion while raking in tax breaks and government contracts. But somehow immigrants are the problem.

It's been a long time since I've been a practicing Catholic, but it seems clear that Karoline Leavitt is routinely breaking a couple of commandments, like the one about not bearing false witness (i.e. lying), and the one about not having other gods.

Here's a description of the Russian attempted access to NLRB from the whistleblower complaint. whistlebloweraid.org/wp-content/u...

MAJOR SCOOP: The local detective who first accused Mr. Abrego Garcia of being a member of MS-31 was suspended from the police force and indicted merely WEEKS LATER for providing confidential information to a sex worker who he was paying in exchange for sexual acts.

Musk essentially admitted that he's been lying about full self driving for years. This particular lie is going to cost Tesla hundreds of millions or possibly billions of dollars to fix. One more nail in the Tesla brand's coffin. #teslatakedown electrek.co/2025/04/14/t...

More. Of. This.

There has not been a sufficiently concerted effort to show: 1) How much this fucker lies 2) How much he lies to defend his past lies 3) How much he has fucked over Trump (work with me here, we want to mobilize paranoia)

Columbia University trustees, change your mind! Back up the truck! You can still slip out of this! Join the Smarter Ivies fighting back! No Consent Decree! Screw Up Your Courage and Stand With Your Sistern and Brethren! (If anyone at Harvard knows C.U. trustees, it's worth giving them a call!)

China really upping their trolling game since the tariffs.

@vanhollen.senate.gov should be the biggest story of the day. He just released a press release saying “That’s why I’ve requested to meet with President Bukele during his trip to the United States, and – 1/2

I'd love to see a bunch of Democrats join @vanhollen.senate.gov him, including my Senators @durbin.senate.gov and @duckworth.senate.gov

There we go. Support this man.

I continue to be absolutely stunned at how many people in positions of power in this country don’t understand that they’re on the wrong side of history

Letter from Dem Senator Chris Van Hollen (MD) requesting a meeting with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele To discuss MD father Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return "If Kilmar is not home by midweek – I plan to travel to El Salvador this week to check on his condition and discuss his release."

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe." But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment. 1/

🚨 April 19 is happening — and it’s more than just a protest. Yes, people will be in the streets again. Others will be organizing food drives, volunteering at shelters, hosting teach-ins, and finding other creative ways to show up for their communities and push back against this administration.

The People’s Protest: CHICAGO 4/19 | Daley Plaza | 12–2 PM The People’s Protest: Joy as Resistance

Rainy day for a #teslatskedown in Springfield, NJ !! @teslatakedown.com @njindivisible.bsky.social @indivisible.org

Tesla Takedown, Park Royal, London. 12/4/25. The Martians don't like him either. @teslatakedown.com

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.

Hundreds of Mississippi residents protested against President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk on Saturday in Jackson, Tupelo, Gulfport and Hattiesburg.

Thanks to the 50 or so people who came to today’s #teslatakedown Northbrook protest. Plenty of good conversations happened with those who were there. I can feel momentum increasing. Here are some photos of signs (and a shirt!) from today’s event. @teslatakedown.com @alexwinter.com

Lynnwood JUST KEEPS ROCKING IT, with hundreds of people again. Who'd a thunk the northern suburbs would be such a place of righteous fury against Musk? #TeslaTakedown #MuskMustFall

An estimated 15,000 people are at the Fighting Oligarchy rally with AOC and Bernie Sanders in Los Angeles today. Amazing!

None of this stops until they throw members of the Trump regime in jail for disobeying court orders.

Pope Francis remarkable letter to US Bishops “I exhort all the faithful of the Catholic Church, and all men and women of good will, not to give in to narratives that discriminate against and cause unnecessary suffering to our migrant and refugee brothers and sisters. www.vatican.va/content/fran...

Trump’s EPA is shredding dozens of environmental rules and endangering millions of Americans. As a lifelong member of the Sierra Club and a proud Co-Chair of @houseseec.bsky.social , I’m going to do everything possible to ensure our communities have clean air and clean water.

Update! UMass-Amherst's faculty senate is now on board!! Last night they passed their own resolution calling for two compacts: 1) of all public and land-grant higher ed in the country 2) of all public and private higher ed in Massachusetts Read and spread widely!! www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ikin7...

@durbin.senate.gov Stop! confirming appointments! I am so mad at and disappointed in you. I'm a constituent. I would write an official letter but I feel like you aren't listening. Are you? It's. Not. Business As. Usual.

Here are some #PostcardsToVoters for @erickallen.bsky.social in Georgia.
