Well, without an ankle monitor, what is to stop her from co-authoring another op-ed? 

Rümeysa Öztürk has been freed!!

I will build my Church upon this bankrupt casino. 1/6

whelp. "Secretary Kennedy will be enlisting the entire agency to activate a scientific process to treat a host of diseases, including measles, with single or multiple existing drugs in combination with vitamins and other modalities," the HHS spokesperson said in a statement to CBS News.

Nazi Germany surrendered in May 1945. For Americans, the Second World War would rage for three more months, until VJ Day in August. But for Russians and those influenced by them, "Victory Day" falls in May. Trump follows the Russian practice, not the American.

I'd better not risk it

However mean you’re being to Republicans and others who support this, explicitly or tacitly, it’s not mean enough. There’s no redemption possible for people who love this shit. I just don’t see the path back for them.

Another highly valuable and posting friendly skill: first-aid and associated disaster aid. Odds are you have a local emergency disaster volunteer program.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker: "Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption. But I am now. These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. They must understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have."

Imagine losing another country’s election #OCanada!

Only authoritarians think calls for "protest" are "inciting violence" or "secessionist behavior."

If they are extrajudicial--and make no mistake, they most assuredly are--then they are kidnappings, not deportations.

The problem with Schumer’s argument that you can’t act until Trump crosses some extreme red line is that it becomes way too late to do anything about it.

This is Canada — and we decide what happens here.

Mood.

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda. Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them. I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

Let’s fucking go???

ICE is now asserting it's a federal crime for bystanders to request that masked people in plain clothes show identification as they're handcuffing folks and stuffing them into unmarked vans.

The people I know who are most engaged in creating a more just world are consistently worried that they aren't doing enough. Then there are those doing nothing who seem completely unperturbed. It's actually incredible.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

This is my county. The young lady spent last fall registering voters at the local college. The minor boys go to high school with my son. What the actual fuck, America.

HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of protesters have now gathered outside a federal courthouse in downtown Milwaukee to support Judge Hannah Dugan

Hey @urochester.bsky.social where you at? Alum here (md/phd 2017)! Make me proud!

Chair Comer denied our request for an official trip to El Salvador to advocate for due process and the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Pretty shameful. Good thing I don’t need Comer’s permission to get on a plane.

Sunday morning April 20, 2025 Fox News Sunday — Van Hollen NBC's Meet the Press — Van Hollen CNN's State of the Union — Van Hollen CBS’ Face the Nation — Van Hollen ABC’s This Week — Van Hollen @vanhollen.senate.gov #AbregoGarcia #RuleOfLaw

"When a US Attorney wields the power of his office to target medical journals bc of their content & editorial processes, he isn't doing his job. He's abusing his authority to try to chill protected speech." #saveourscience This is such bullshit.

lol wait big boy bret also went full mask off antifascist today too

Weather is getting nice, what if 10 million people went outside at the same time

We've got Bill Kristol saying abolish ICE and standing up for trans people, David Brooks quoting the communist manifesto, and Sen. Van Hollen forcing a dictator to give proof of life of a hostage in a death camp. Meanwhile, Dems like Newsom are doing podcasts with fascists. Make it make sense.

I'm thinking about how tonight was probably the first time Kilmar Abrego Garcia learned that millions of people care about him - the first time he learned that the United States Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring him home. I'm thinking what it must mean for him to know, right now, that he isn't alone.

one thing that Democratic politicians should take note of is that the overlap between “great political optics” and “actual morally good stuff” is really big right now

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

We really need to all retweet + otherwise amplify Senator Van Hollen's mission. He is trying to "shine a light." If you are a person who knows how to "build a narrative" on social media, such that others wait for your updates, please consider doing that now.

IN EL SALVADOR: Senator Van Hollen says Trump is in violation of court orders — and is paying El Salvador to imprison an innocent man. (And #KilmarÁbregoGarcía is not the only one)

if you are a Marylander please call in support of this because it's the bravest fucking thing any senator has done in either Trump term

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov

More of this please

the coders yearn for the mines

I am a professor at Columbia University. All of the student NIH training grants have been canceled and now there are reports that ALL funding will be frozen. Why are Universities not banding together and speaking out publicly and forcibly about governmental attacks on biomedical research?

So, the address of the federal court building where the Garcia case is being heard is 6500 Cherrywood Lane, Greenbelt, MD 20770. Seems to me this is where there should be rallies demanding that the DoJ follow court orders. Next hearing is on Tuesday at 4: www.cbsnews.com/baltimore/ne...
