A former Colorado sheriff’s deputy was sentenced to three years in prison on Monday for the fatal shooting of a 22-year-old man who called 911 for help as he was experiencing a mental health crisis on a mountain road in 2022.

Some lighter news for Monday morning...

You did it, guys. You saved democracy.

At least one US president cares to denounce this attack.

El Salvador won’t return Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Meanwhile, Trump is not only refusing to bring him back—he is lying about the Supreme Court ruling compelling him to do so.

The Trump administration told a U.S.-born citizen to self-deport

I know we beat this drum daily, but today especially it’s obvious these are not the actions of a party that anticipates ever losing power.

The Librarians is a must-see documentary about the recent history of book banning in the US

China really upping their trolling game since the tariffs.

Deporting America citizens to a foreign gulag seems…dictatory.

The televised Oval Office meeting with Bukele is mockery. They’re mocking the press, their opposition, the courts, and the entire concept of justice. They’re mocking everyone who isn’t them. The abuser’s playbook yet again.

The lies Pam Bondi and Stephen Miller just told about Abrego Garcia on national TV... ...I have no words for them. I am sick of calling things obscene or deranged. These are obviously evil people charting an obviously evil course for our country. The idea of Hell was devised for people like this.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

This is why the 🍊🍕💩 wanted to send his prisoners, without due process, to Bukele in El Salvador. Their ideals line up to one another. "Very good. Who gave him that line? Think I could use that?" ~Trumpelstiltskin after Bukele explains why he imprisoned thousands without due process. FREE KILMAR! 🤬

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

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.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

Oh look. Another bribery and extortion scheme.

and yet they come to Europe and lecture everyone on free speech

Who else AGREES with Max?! 🤚

His name is Andry Hernandez Romero. He is a young professional from Venezuela. He is a makeup artist. He is a gay man. Andry was a target for abuse in his homeland of Venezuela. He was viciously humiliated daily — the victim of discrimination for his sexuality. He was also being persecuted for…

Dear Decent Human Beings in the Military and Law Enforcement, If you are ordered to violate the Constitution by this president, please disobey. The millions who served, suffered, and died before you deserve your courage now.

This morning, we need to listen and reflect on this, he mentions leaders who "tap on fears" sound familiar? Please share share share. www.tiktok.com/@superdan100...

The crowd and overflow crowd for the Bernie Sanders/AOC event tonight in Utah. Wow.

This is to the shame of our country

The attempt to burn down the Pennsylvania Governor's mansion is pretty clearly an assassination attempt, and it's likely an antisemitic hate crime. It should be referred to that way by political media.

The truth behind Spinderella

If torching a Swastikar is considered terrorism now, surely torching Josh Shapiro’s home will be considered the same.

Please help Tasneem if you can.

Crosswalks across Silicon Valley were hacked this weekend. Pressing the button now triggers a message impersonating Elon Musk—mocking him in the process. Videos have been circulating online all weekend. 😂

Would men need to provide a marriage certificate to vote? No? Just women? Got it.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.
