The Trump Admin is trying to disappear almost 200 more people to El Salvador. This is a violation of due process. If we let Trump get away with disappearing immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act, there is nothing stopping him from disappearing U.S. citizens next. (1/2)

it is crazy to me that we have pundits, pollsters and democratic strategists staring directly at trump diving head first in a quagmire of a scandal and insisting that it is bad politics to make hay of it

People want institutions to stand up www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Chris Van Hollen flying down to El Salvador and refusing to leave until he got in a room with Kilmar Abrego Garcia blows up every other “well what do you expect them to do?” defense for elected Democrats

Can we please not forget that ALL the people sent to the El Salvadoran prison deserve due fucking process? ALL of them. Every single one of them.

one senator insisted on seeing his constituent one that’s all it took to apply pressure what the ever living fuck are the rest of y’all doing???

This. We’re not asking Democrats to sacrifice their political career to do the right thing. We’re asking Democrats to do the right thing and probably boost their career in the process.

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

It shouldn't matter if Trump’s victims have criminal records. If we only defend the “innocent,” the fascists will argue that their victim “was no angel.” An anti-fascist rhetoric that carves out exceptions for imperfect victims is a gift to our opponents. New from me for @us.theguardian.com:

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...

The most relevant piece of information here is the R which Senator Murkowski keeps next to her name. She and three other Senators could take full control of the government out of the hands of the organization she herself describes as using terror tactics.

delusional. he’s 2 years old tops.

Once again, posting this 2023 article. This was the plan all along.

Today in weird statistical coincidences

RFK Jr: Autistic kids are a tragedy. They'll never pay taxes, never hold down a job, never contribute anything to society Autistic kids:

This is the exact kind of brave behavior I want to be seeing from our politicians.

They're not fascists, they just think we're in a state of exception due to the pollution of the polity and citizen body by undesirable racial elements whose removal is of such paramount importance that it transcends the dictates of the law, justified by their embodiment of the Will of the People.

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

chat is this a good headline 100 days in

Im happy to listen to and debate right wing policy ideas with good faith conservative intellectuals as soon as they invent any of those

People need to be hearing about this shit every single day. Zoom in on literally anything here.

Marco Rubio says that Americans living in Europe shouldn't ever have to face any ramifications for their political speech online. The chutzpah is jaw-dropping, as he is PERSONALLY trying to deport legal immigrants for their political speech in the United States.

Another day where essential opposition/revolutionary texts are coming from Teen Vogue and The Bulwark while the New York Times does autism conspiracy laundering and 13 looks from Coachella - I am too sober for this timeline

I think there should be more visits to el salvador. I'd like to see schumer and jeffries go.

I just met with the Vice President of El Salvador as we fight for the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I’m speaking to the press now with the latest on our efforts. Tune in here:

per Van Hollen, El Salvador wouldn't let him into CECOT, which seems notable given that multiple House Republicans have photos of themselves inside grinning and giving a thumbs-up Abu Ghraib-style

A strong majority of US voters and 𝘮𝘢𝘫𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 believe immigrants with green cards & visas have the right to: - be informed of the charges against them 81% - the right to a fair trial 77% - the right to present a defense 75% - the right to appeal a court decision 69%

Full credit to Chris Van Hollen. Seems unlikely that he'll succeed here, but he's treating the illegal imprisonment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia like it's a five-alarm fire. We need that from electeds.

vance is a detestable liar and an open enemy of the constitution. the central load bearing factual claim here is completely false and even if it wasn’t the constitution contains two explicit guarantees of due process
