If Kilmar Abrego Garcia had only beaten Capitol police officers half to death with a Trump flag on his way into pissing on the halls on Congress while looking to hang a Vice President—he’d be free right now.

The Trump Administration is using our taxpayer dollars to pay a foreign government to keep a man it mistakenly deported in an inhumane mass prison. Trump must abide by the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling and bring Kilmar home.

Bernie Sanders claims his latest move is "scaring the hell out of Elon Musk and Donald Trump" as he and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez travel across the United States on a "Fighting Oligarchy" tour.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

The richest 1% are responsible for 30% of all unpaid taxes—amounting to $205 billion annually. That’s $562 million in unpaid taxes per day, or $6,500 every second.   By gutting the IRS, Donald Trump & Elon Musk are making it easier for their rich buddies to keep cheating. #TaxDay

We need answers now. I’m ready to join Sen. @vanhollen.senate.gov & my colleagues @maxwellfrost.bsky.social, @robertgarcia.bsky.social in El Salvador to demand Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release and get him safely back to his family.

AOC: When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

When *political beliefs* alone trigger suspicion, and dissent is treated as a threat, we inch dangerously close to *a surveillance state*—no different from the *Soviet KGB*, where ideology mattered more than innocence. # Mohsen Mahdawi

Trump wants to deport American citizens to prisons in El Salvador. That’s unconstitutional, un-American, and terrifying. We cannot normalize this. Speak out and organize like our democracy depends on it—because it does.

Crosswalks in Palo Alto, CA have been hacked with Musk’s voice.

Interesting isn't it that people like Cody Balmer, who sets fire to the governor's mansion in Pennsylvania gets their legitimate due process under the law but Albergo Garcia, who committed no crime gets none. This is America now.

In one swoop, President Trump was able to set the global economy reeling, shatter our alliances, shred our standing in the world, tank consumer confidence, scupper the Kennedy Center and tart up the Oval Office, turning it into Caesars Palace on the Potomac. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/o...

Is it possible to still respect your family members despite their political opinions?

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

A Louisiana immigration judge ruled Friday that recent Columbia graduate and Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil can be deported—even though Khalil has a green card, is a lawful permanent resident, and has not been charged with any crimes.

Trump's plan to dismantle the Department of Education has created "chaos," "fear," and "uncertainty" among families of students with disabilities. Republicans are putting vulnerable children in danger.

They are willing to cut medicare, medicaid, social security,school lunch, teacher training, meals on wheels, USAid etc etc in order to give trillions in tax cuts to benefit corporations and the very rich

The United States is now a country where you can be picked up by secret police ~on accident~ and thrown in a El Salvador gulag, and then the federal government will fight tooth and nail to resist bringing you home, even after the Supreme Court says you should be released.

We just discovered this crazy public school in Mike Johnson’s congressional district - read the handbook! Is this the future he imagines for the rest of us?? #wtf #gop #bluecrew #education bap.beau.k12.la.us/533990_3

The Pediatric Children I visit nightly in Florida to keep them alive, and keep their parents positive have very little hope now that Medicaid is cut....My life now too destroyed. Real people are destroyed by Evangelical Christian Maga Supporters

The moment Trump found out that his MAGA hat says “Made in China” 🇨🇳🧢 and Xi’s somewhere in Beijing cackling like he just won the trade war 😅😂🤣🤡 #canada #canadastrong #elbowsup #markcarneyforpm #voteliberal #tariffs #tradewar #neverpoilievre #never51state #buycanadian #supportlocal #china #usa

I know it as I live and breathe . He imposed the tariffs to enrich himself & his closest Billionaire Buddies . You know he did . I know he did . This was all an orchestrated chokehold of the worldwide financial market so that he could become richer . #DirtyRottenSonOfABitch .

Q: 60 Minutes found 75% of the migrants who were sent to El Salvador do not have criminal records. That true? BONDI: They're not Venezuelan migrants. They're illegal aliens from Venezuela who should not have been in our country Q: So you're confirming they didn't commit a crime? BONDI: *leaves*

"Even the singular act of holding a sign in opposition to the president sends a message. It says that, as a citizen, I am concerned and demand to be heard. It says I have the right to stand outside on a raw, lousy day and express my opposition..." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Over 12 trillion dollars have evaporated from the stock market since Trump was inaugurated. Trump/Republican tariffs will push up the cost of living. Trump along with his Republican enablers are crashing the economy.

More than 50,000 people in Gaza are dead. 114,000 have been wounded — two-thirds of whom are women & children. The entire infrastructure has been destroyed. Much of that devastation has been done with bombs that the U.S. supplied to the Netanyahu war machine. We are complicit.
