AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

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

Folks who are citizens of other countries and are considering travel to the United States for a vacation or work or whatever: I strongly advise against it. You will not have protection from the illegal actions of this administration. It's not worth it. Don't roll the dice by traveling here.

Karoline Leavitt is a liar, propagandist & accomplice to a criminal regime. “There is never going to be a world in which [Kilmar Abrego Garcia] is going to live a peaceful life in MD because he is a foreign terrorist & MS-13 gang member,” she said w/o evidence about a man who's committed no crime.

I can't explain the algorithm in my head that jealously guards my love of Chappell Roan, Lana del Rey, Lady Gaga, and Billy Eilish, and keeps me from even learning who the hell Katy Perry is, but I sense it has served me well and I'm not giving up the formula.

The reason AOC is the future is she will not back down like these weak ass Democrats who are afraid of the immigration debate. The empty suits who voted for Laken Riley. You want to debate the ethics of Trump's arbitrary kidnappings and deportations? Let's have this fight. Head on.

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.

I am just ready to explode with rage and fury. He was hiding by taking a union job and going to work every day? Based on what we know, he could be a "father of the year" candidate, and Bondi has ZERO evidence to the contrary. I know that "all governments lie," but this is reaching satanic levels

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

Every member of this administration connected to these rights violations should be prosecuted when this is over.

Snatching people off the street without due process is wrong. Bring Kilmar home. Stop violating people’s rights.

I think we've known for decades that American libertarians are utter hypocrites, totally full of shit, rotten with the racism that objects mostly to federal spending on programs to benefit minorities, but it's still astonishing how quiet they are in the face of open and undisguised tyranny.

"Many who have not yet spoken up know too, if they're honest." Well that's the rub, ain't it? Can the rest of us depend on libertarians and conscience conservatives to raise their voices? I don't see how good liberals can possibly trust you people anymore. You have proven to be cowards and liars.

New from me at Cato: with yesterday's developments in the Abrego Garcia case, it becomes clear that Donald Trump aims to create an offshore zone in which persons of his choosing can be whisked out of the U.S. and stripped of all constitutional rights, "beyond the writ of" the federal courts. /1

This is a class war. The reason the United States is so completely screwed up right now is that the super rich own everything. Racism, sexism, transphobia - these are the means and to some extent the motive, but the underlying dynamic is class warfare from the top.

Why is this country like this? Our elected officials would rather watch the predominance of us suffer while they capitulate to a few people who could never spend all the money they have. This is a great American failure. Demand better. We deserve better. Billionaire Tax Bailout #MomSky

Elon Musk should not be a free man when this is all over. He needs to be prosecuted and almost certainly imprisoned.

BREAKING 🚨 🚨 🚨 Pentagon’s ‘SWAT team of nerds’ resigns en masse Employees of a defense tech unit say they were sidelined by DOGE. “Either we die quickly or we die slowly,” says the director. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

NEW from @MiamiHerald: as the Trump admin continues to cite tattoos as evidence of gang membership, experts on the Tren de Aragua gang again confirm that it does NOT use tattoos as a means of identification. The idea seems to have been invented by Americans.

As far as I can tell, the first person to ever accuse him of human trafficking is Leavitt herself (I'd love to know if someone else made the claim first). Certainly, no official has ever made that claim to a court, nor offered any evidence of it whatsoever. It seems the White House made it up.

The Pentagon’s Defense Digital Services tech unit is shutting itself down due to DOGE. Every single staff member is resigning in protest after Musk’s team came in and destroyed their work rather than pushing innovation. They’d rather close up shop themselves, than let Musk & his goons take control.

Democrats: If you are not at IMPEACH, what is the point of you? Why should any of us bother to vote for you people? What is the Democratic Party even FOR if you won't stand up at this moment?

Current stats indicate that only around 10-25% of the people kidnapped had any criminal record at all. These people must be fucking PROSECUTED when this is all over. And if Democrats won't do it, we need to take responsibility for it ourselves.

Time to start impeachment proceedings. If the Supreme Court doesn’t matter, we do not have a working democracy. If we cozy up to an El Salvadoran thug, what are we?

Are Democrats ready to weaponize the DOJ against these Trump officials violating the rights of citizens and legal residents? We will not tolerate another January 6 amnesty. You will lose control of this party completely if you don't get your heads in the game.

Donald Trump has said repeatedly that he wants America to imitate the legal system of the Philippines under Duterte: Summary execution of drug dealers without due process. It is SHOCKING that this man was ever elected President. We have lost our way as a people. www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/02...
