Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

HEALTH CARE IS NOT A REWARD FOR OBEDIENCE. DUE PROCESS OF LAW IS NOT A REWARD FOR OBEDIENCE. HUMAN RIGHTS ARE NOT A REWARD FOR OBEDIENCE. THESE ARE THE UNIVERSALLY ENSURED GUARANTEES OF A SOCIETY THAT TREATS ITS PARTICIPANTS AS PEOPLE RATHER THAN THINGS.

"I fought for it once, I'll fight for it again"

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Ain't it the truth?

Spot on. Who else agrees with this? Drop a comment.

True facts are true

My adult daughter Rachel works everyday, pays taxes, loves going to movies with her friends, and listens to awful (IMO) music. Our U.S. Dept HHS has lost all of its humanity, compassion, and intellectual curiosity

This is the most dangerous move by Trump yet. If Trump and his administration refuse to follow court orders, we are living in a dictatorship.

Trump cleanse. This man literally saved the lives of hundreds of Jewish children during the Holocaust. He didn't know the audience was full of them.

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

"After nearly five hours, he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action. "It's not about the immigrants," his sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's coming to us Americans, and it's going to go after all of us." www.nbcboston.com/news/politic...

Every law firm that refused to cave to Trump and instead fought him in court - won!! They all won!

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

No professed Christian has any business celebrating Easter while doing nothing to free an innocent man and to condemn the people who placed him in chains. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/if-your-ch...

Dead inside much?

Fascism is here. Due process is dead. The Supreme Court is a hollow husk.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
