Good morning 😃

As you have pointed out, and then they backstabbed Harris too. Nobody wants to step on the toes, but the REAL elitists are the ones funneling money to harm Democrats. They want Ws..

I know we’re all preoccupied with the lawless chaos but I wanna continue to give shout outs to the brave Americans who are standing up to fight back and to demand better. actl.ink/20250328-JM4... youtube.com/shorts/ySRVD...

Trump's revenge and retribution are on our country and all of its people. If his Project 2025 agenda or inept, rambling speeches and debate performance didn't clarify that, then you need serious help.

“Why not show the American people the evidence?” #KilmarAbregoGarcia

contrarian.substack.com/p/free-kilmar This legal and rhetorical subterfuge can’t overtake reality:He is wrongfully held under appalling conditions. (The claim he was a gang member comes from two uncorroborated, hearsay documents that contradict one another.)

On this day in 1945, three Black baseball players including Jackie Robinson were verbally attacked during tryouts for the Boston Red Sox. The team refused to sign them and remained segregated until 1959.

Trump has no mandate, yet wants to isolate a diverse, connected country that thrives on global trade and fair taxation. He’s against the very things that make America work. How long can a man at war with reality expect to bend it to his will?

This is a disgrace.

The real deal:

So proud that this is one of my Senators. Use what power you have. Thank you Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov.

“And [Trump] has hinted that he sees the promises of nearly $1 billion in pro bono legal services that he has extracted from the elite law firms…as a legal war chest to be used as he wishes.” NO SYMPATHY for these law firms that entered into these agreements w/Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/u...

This was 100% predictable (and predicted). The big firms that capitulated will cave and do whatever Trump wants. He owns them and will humiliate them for the next 3+ years. If you are a lawyer at one of these firms, leave now with your dignity. If you are a law student -- is this what you want?

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

Some things are worth repeating: Social Security is an EARNED benefit that WE, the American people, pay into. It should not be a political punching bag. Hands all the way off.

Biden: Fewer than 100 days into this new administration, they have done so much damage and destruction. It is kind of breathtaking it could happen that soon.

Good morning 😃

People are pushing back even in the deepest red districts possible

For the record, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Barack Obama are speaking out. So, when you see someone tell the lie they aren't, tell them to use a search engine. Thanks in advance.

Kyiv bids farewell to 20yo Lithuanian volunteer Tomas Valentėlis, who fell in action defending us from the russian horde. Thank you for protecting our freedom, dear young and bright soul. 📷 Hromadske.

You cannot legally send Americans to an El Salvadorian prison no matter what they have done. Plain and simple.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

A look back a decade where my radically changing the universe @adelphi schoolmates help celebrate my ART accomplishments starting there Adelphi. Andre Doctor Dre Brown , Myself, Amy The Night Nurse Wachtel , Alicia and Alice Crowe, Mr Bill Stephney

🚨BREAKING: A group of law students, represented by Democracy Forward, filed a lawsuit to stop the Trump administration from gaining access to sensitive personal information. Paige and I discuss the courage of these students and the ongoing assault on the legal profession. youtu.be/NTP3Agz4K4Q

Biden: One called it a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme? What the hell are they talking about? People earned these benefits. They paid into that benefit. They rely on that benefit.

My “spidey-sense” is saying we should keep our eyes on this. www.reuters.com/world/us/top...

Kilmar Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and their three children, and has never been charged with any crime. The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

🚨Attention Members of the DC Bar🚨 Ballots went out today for key positions in the DC bar. Please vote for: Diane Seltzer for President Amanda Molina for Treasurer Note: Seltzer is running against Pam Bondi's brother. Get your ballot and vote ASAP.

Breaking: Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen just announced he'll depart tomorrow (Wednesday) for El Salvador to attempt to secure the release of Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia. "We must urgently continue working to return Kilmar safely home to Maryland."

I hope all of you are finding work to do in this time that feels meaningful, fills you with awe, gives you a chance to be a part of something greater than yourself.

Today we remember the man who STILL is Jackie Robinson. He may have passed away a mere 42 years ago but 04/15 will always be synonymous with him breaking down color barriers & giving birth to unmistakable growth in the MLB. In closing, Jackie Robinson was more than a baseball player. PERIOD!

The CDC saves lives. We won’t stop fighting until every CDC worker who was recklessly fired is back at work keeping us ALL safe.

A perfect rant exists! This man articulated exactly what I think!

I suggest everyone become very, very familiar with this piece by law Professor @david.noll.org. I suspect you will be referring to it often. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/if-t...

The more time you spend waiting for confirmation that Trump is acting like a dictator, while watching it unfold openly and daily with full GOP permission, the more time he has to succeed. He makes it plain. The danger is not in naming it, but in failing to act before it is too late.

Authoritarianism

Thank you @jeffjarvis.bsky.social

Do we truly want democracy in America? The myth of whiteness as superior and default has long said no. Democracy only exists where all humans are equally human. That is truth, not ideal. Without it, democracy is only pretense, easily eroded and destroyed. We see it now.

The administration is looking for “nuclear verification” in a deal with Iran, meaning that they apparently won’t be trying to get Iran to stop enriching uranium completely. You know, kinda like we had in the JCPOA that Trump pulled out of in his first term. Absolute clown show.

China just halted orders of all Boeing planes. This is a major strategic failure for Trump.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror
