Palm Springs Police Chief Andy Mills addressed the No Kings crowd of 5000 tonight. So proud to be part of the team that made this entirely peaceful event happen so that we can exercise our contitutional rights. #nokings

I didn’t give a wit about new pope coverage, but the first American pope being a man with Black ancestry born in Chicago by way of New Orleans by way of Haiti. Names his self after the pope who condemned slavery? In the Trump era? Oh, baebae, I am HERE for it. www.wwltv.com/article/news...

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Time to stand up, show up, and speak out. Change doesn’t come to those who wait—it comes to those who demand it. Get out there. Make noise. Be seen. ❤️🪧📢 @rcdpofca.bsky.social @indivisibleriv.bsky.social @50501inlandempire.bsky.social @desertdemocrats.bsky.social

Two ways: Pope Francis visits a prison in Rome and, after spending time with inmates, blows them kisses. He said, "I ask myself: Why them and not me?" Rep. Moore visits a jail in El Salvador and gave a thumbs up to their suffering. Which way would Jesus, imprisoned during the Passion, prefer?

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

"He was being slapped every time he would speak up… he started praying and calling out, literally crying for his mother," said the photojournalist. How can a 31 yo Venezuelan gay makeup artist land in El Salvador's CECOT w/o ever being charged of a crime? Answer: Trump. cbsnews.com/news/photojo...

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

BREAKING: Trump admin says it mistakenly deported a Maryland father who had *withholding of removal* back to El Salvador on March 15. Govt told court Monday it won't bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back. "What.The.Fuck..." one govt attorney told me. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc... @theatlantic.com

SULLIVAN: “I do not care about the economy if the government claims it can break down anyone's doors, seize anyone with no due process, put them on a plane, and send them to a foreign jail… that is fundamental to this country.” 🇺🇸

“What’s transpired over the last three or four days just takes it to a whole new level of cruelty and inhumanity and, frankly, a whole new level of stupidity in doing this is the most non-strategic way.” Tens of thousands of people will die as a result of this action. www.salon.com/2025/02/28/a...

Every time a story about an immigrant committing a crime gets reported in the news, I hear angry white people get outraged bc they say “they shouldn’t have been here in the first place.” Probably how indigenous Americans feel every time a white person commits a crime. Sit down, colonizers.

EO ending school vaccine COVID mandates. OK COVID didn’t kill many children, but killed many obese parents and healthy grandparents. Next up, lawsuits to end other vaccine mandates for schools as these diseases are now so uncommon they also do not kill children? www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

A good compilation of all the lows of the first month of the Trump regime. Is blundering and flailing the strategy or just incompetence? open.substack.com/pub/andrewsu...
