It’s that simple.

And it’s probably going to!

If you think this is a cluster, just wait for the CIA “Secret Santa” debacle.

#ProudBlue So, ICE admits they deported people with NO criminal history under the 1798 Aliens Enemies Act, which was illegal declared by Trump. If this doesn’t scare you, then you aren’t paying attention & are willfully ignorant. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/nonci...

Paraphrasing Schumer on MSNBC: “when Trump disobeys SCOTUS, democracy will be in peril, and the American people will rise up against Trump. Dems will, um, watch anxiously.”

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

@fetterman.senate.gov @foolme1ns.bsky.social You’ve been tagged. You’re it!

Illegal border crossing numbers are determined by “encounters” with immigrants. We don’t count the aliens we don’t “encounter.” The guy bragging about reduced crossings is the same guy that thought Covid numbers were high because we were “testing too much.” Hmmm. . .

Hey all. This is just a reminder. Take care of yourselves. Take time to breathe. Go for a walk. Talk to family and friends. Play a game. Watch a show. Be mindful of your stress levels. Withdraw if you need to. Then come back to the fight. Love y’all.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

Spineless, yellow-bellied, lily-livered, weak-kneed, pusillanimous chickenshits.

Reality show idea: drop five billionaires on a desert island with a one week supply of food. Come back in six months. That’s it. That’s the show.

I had forgotten how good the Malcolm X movie was. Denzel is the GOAT.

Very important from @alisonmgill.bsky.social: All federal employees need to understand the grievance process if you’re placed on administrative leave other otherwise targeted by the administration. There is a limited window for you to act, so please read this great guidance about how to proceed.

Looking forward to welcoming Canada and Greenland (and their Democratic Socialist voters) to the USA!
