We also need to constantly address the ways that criminalization is used to render people disposable. Every response is "well I thought they would only do X to the criminals."

The fact that so many of us had doubts Mr. Garcia was alive speaks to the level of depravity of this administration. The next step is securing his safe release and the hundreds wrongfully kidnapped by this regime! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.

Donald Trump wants the threat of a death sentence in El Salvador to loom over everyone and anyone who stands up to him. That’s why his administration is waging a war on due process. That’s why he’s so eager to deport Americans to a foreign gulag. This evil was always his plan.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring all removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

I don't really have anything especially profound to say, but yeah man this is it. They won't obey even the most milquetoast SCOTUS orders and are talking about sending US citizens to foreign gulags. It's happened here.

Maybe it's me but a president having the power to call trade emergencies and fuck up the global economy on a whim seems like it shouldn't be a thing, and we should probably campaign on that not being a thing any longer.

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

I don't think asking if something is "performative" or not is very useful. A lot of politics is performative. A lot of LIFE is performative. Maybe we should ask: is this performance effective? And to what end?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Cory Booker breaks the record for longest Senate speech, previously held by segregationist Strom Thurmond.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?
