Press needs to hammer at one thing... This government needs to get proof that Garcia is still alive.

I'm sorry, what now?!

Don't get excited. But maybe you can get a little excited about the possibility of getting excited. (Also, this is exactly the sort of stuff the current administration is planning to defund. Fuck those dudes.) Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/s...

“No man left behind!” Well Kilmar is our man, and he’s been left behind. BRING HIM HOME

And that's the truth

(NYT) - A daily pill may be as effective in lowering blood sugar and aiding weight loss in people with Type 2 diabetes as the popular injectable drugs Mounjaro and Ozempic, according to results of a clinical trial announced by Eli Lilly on Thursday morning. $LLY www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/h...

Thank you for your leadership and recognizing the urgency of this dangerous moment for our democracy and the rule of law, Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov. Are your elected officials doing everything in their power to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home? Make sure they hear from you today.

⬇️ Senator Chris Van Hollen is brave and a true Patriot! I hope he brings reinforcements with him for safety reasons..💙

Today I'm finding out which people believe that if you're part of a population that is a small overall percentage of humans on the planet, it's okay to strip you of rights. I wonder if they have considered how easy it would be to classify *them* into a small overall percentage, and do it to them.

Please watch and share. It can be easy to get a little lost in the details, but the ENTIRE THING they're doing is absolutely built on a foundation of lies and flagrantly illegal.

Unforgivable. No amount of apologies from this man will suffice. He cannot be allowed to stay in office. He is an unqualified eugenicist. Also an idiot.

America: land of the free and home of the brave. Now: An American government free to disappear you even if you are brave. This must not stand. Due process is not a suggestion but a centerpiece of our constitution.

So much damage

They are afraid of diversity, but not of a dictatorship.

Thank you for telling the truth.

BREAKING: A federal judge has found probable cause for criminal contempt by this contemptible criminal.

Judge James E. Boasberg is a hero. ‘Judges Challenge White House Over Disregard for Court Orders’ www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

3 things autistic kids will actually never do: 1. Pick up a roadkill bear from the side of the road and put it in their van to eat 2. Realize they could get in trouble for eating the bear 3. Leave it in Central Park to frame a cyclist for its murder

I’m grateful to @vanhollen.senate.gov for his leadership in the fight to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home. This is not about partisanship or politics—it’s about adhering to constitutional protections of due process, following court orders, and defending the rule of law.

Tomorrow I’ll be calling all of my representatives to demand that they call for RFK jr’s immediate resignation.

Proof of life. It's time.

Each time it seems we’ve possibly reached peak depravity with this cult, they up-level, e.g., posing with thumbs up in front of a gulag with disappeared people — the vast majority of whom have no apparent criminal record — & making fun of a clearly emaciated person.

Why do ppl vote for her? Every word is a LIE

Sunset of a Grifter

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

SCOOP --> The cop who initially attested to Abrego Garcia's alleged MS-13 membership was subsequently suspended and indicted for serious professional misconduct: Sharing case info with a sex worker. This undermines Trumpworld's smears. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1940...

They other day I met with an old friend who witnessed firsthand how Viktor Orbán, Prime Minister of Hungary, took over the country's democracy and turned it into an authoritarian state. Here are some lessons that I took away from our conversation. robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-pla...

As long as Democrats publicly state that they do not see discrimination based on race or gender as a "real" issue to tackle, they will continue to lose.

*this is not sarcasm but a sincere plea* One way to emphasize it is to link to the actual story a) So people can read it beyond the headline and become better informed b) Pageviews are important as a measurable indication <to newsroom bosses> of reader interest in this kind of reporting!

Mood.

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

It is time to fight back!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

Today’s staggering levels of economic inequality are not inevitable. To overcome today’s oligarchy, we must look to our history. Watch:

They are always lying!

The ‘1984’-style Ministry of Truth in full effect

I’ve been retired for 15 years & a former shitter user. I quit a little while after he took over. I’m not going back. Using government funds to try to prop up a business he ran to the ground is pure corruption.
