A U.S. law bars the State Dept. from $$$ support of “'units of foreign security forces' — which can include military and law enforcement staff in prisons — facing credible allegations of gross human rights violations." Such as the money going to El Salvador's CECOT? [@arianalfigueroa.bsky.social]

If you think immigrants are invading America, but Russia isn't invading Ukraine, you might be a MAGA. By Trump's logic, the best thing we can do if we want peace is to just give the immigrants what they want.

Angel of the Lord: He is not here, He is risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead. Alito: Okay, first of all, this violates ALL sorts of rules Thomas: This was a LAWFUL execution, who is God to interfere

The times require that elected officials be not just representatives of our communities and states but organizers defending American constitutional democracy and leaders out of this lapse into authoritarian rule. Watch this clip from @podsaveamerica.crooked.com:

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Due process is constitutionally afforded to anyone in the USA, citizen or not. I would like Marco Rubio and every GOP Congressperson and Senator to go on record NOW that they no longer support due process. It's what they're saying by their silence. One reporter needs to make them SAY IT out loud.

Not sure I can keep saying "It's not who WE are" in good faith. All I know is it's not who I am.

So the White House story is now: “We didn’t mean to threaten Harvard, because we didn’t mean to send the threatening letter we sent, but when Harvard rejected the threats we made but didn’t mean to make, we decided to threaten them twice more.” The country is now run by thugs and idiots.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Elon Musk admitted DOGE is failing at its own goal. But remember, the whole reason Elon Musk is gutting our government services to find “savings” in the first place is to justify HUGE tax cuts for billionaires and corporations. This was never about efficiency.

Oh cool, here's an @npr.org editor saying flat out that giant nationwide protests aren't "compelling" unless there's some kind of crime or vandalism, ie, unless there's a right-wing spin to put on it. If it's merely hundreds of thousands of citizens exercising their right to protest, meh, boring.
