📌UNDERSTAND: Now that we have learned Pete Hegseth shared classified information about imminent strikes in Yemen in another group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, he should be arrested. 📌This was no one-off, this was treason.

Wow, Hegseth's Defense Department is really blowing up! He put three top aides on leave earlier in the week for supposed leaks, then fired them on Friday. Now the three are coming out publicly to say they have no idea what they allegedly leaked, 1/2

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Sen Van Hollen calls it out—The president of El Salvador pulled a stunt, putting two cocktail glasses on the table to make it look like he & Kilmar were just chilling. FACT: Kilmar’s locked in a mega-prison, unconvicted with no due process. No credible evidence to back MS-13 gang member allegation.

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.

Raskin: The president derives his powers only either from the Constitution explicitly or from an act of Congress and Congress certainly has never given the president the power to relocate prisoners to foreign countries and there's nothing in the constitution that remotely vests that power…

“Homelessness persists not because we don’t know how to solve it but because the structures of power in this country benefit from maintaining the status quo.” A powerful piece that draws on THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US to dismantle the myth of the “jobless” homeless:

"We can't defend Abrego Garcia personally because he might be a criminal, we're just defending due process generally" is dereliction of duty because defending Abrego Garcia personally LITERALLY IS due process. The process he's due is literally a defense. We should defend both due process AND HIM.

This

18/19 yo Euro backpackers were detained in Honolulu. “It was a real jail. Metal doors, locked cells, cold air. And they made us do a full strip search. It was really cold. We had to undress completely, including bra and underwear, and even had to squat and spread… it was humiliating and scary.“

This is what a police state looks like: A citizen gets picked up — just because — & held for 10 days until his family presents his birth certificate. At least he didn’t get sent to the El Salvador gulag.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

“Eliminating the Medicaid expansion would likely precipitate the biggest one-time increase in the number of people uninsured ever.”

MUST WATCH: Business as usual is DEAD. The resistance is rewriting the damn narrative. Houston is loud, organized, and ready to take over.

Alito: The Supreme Court. made a horrible mistake. Technically, the law does say rights and due process, but that results in less of the overt cruelty I was enjoying on my television, which means the Court should’ve found delays and loopholes for the govt to deny those rights in practice. I dissent.

“If you deny the constitutional rights of one man, you threaten the constitutional rights of everybody.” —Sen. Van Hollen

I'm so freaking proud of my Senator, @vanhollen.senate.gov! Thank you, sir, for understanding the assignment and standing up for the Constitution!

From the Book of MAGA: For I was hungry, and you closed my food bank and eliminated food safety inspections; I was thirsty, and you cut clean water regulations; I was a stranger, and you arrested me with zero due process, flew me to El Salvador, and imprisoned me indefinitely.

Sen. Van Hollen: "I don't think it's ever wrong to fight for the constitutional rights of one person because if we give up on one person's rights, we threaten everybody's rights...Anyone who is not prepared to stand up and fight for the Constitution doesn't deserve to lead."

WATCH: “That is not how this works. We have a process in this country. A DUE process.” 🇺🇸

As @rparloff.bsky.social points out, Alito misrepresents the facts here. During the hearing, Ensign (for DOJ) said he was *not aware of* any plans for removal on Saturday. But he added that the government would be within its rights under SCOTUS’s J.G.G. decision to conduct removals that day…

A Border Patrol official arrested a 19 yo citizen from Albuquerque in Arizona who didn’t have ID on him, claimed he ‘admitted’ to illegally crossing the border, abducted + ICE imprisoned him for 10 days, and would have deported him to Mexico if his family hadn’t tracked him down and provided his ID.

Happy Easter

Overheard at a restaurant yesterday after the march: “There are some people out there who’ve always got a problem with the government.” Imagine thinking that the thousands routinely volunteering their personal time to speak out against this heartless regime nationwide are just some kook outliers.

Absolutely outrageous. 😡

Senator Van Hollen cannot be any more clear as to what this is all about. It’s about the rule of law. Period. Not the whims of an authoritarian or our feelings toward any individual. If you allow it to be dismissed for even one person. Any person. You risk suffering the same fate.

World Cup and Olympics should NOT come to the USA.

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "My whole point here is if you deprive one man of his constitutional rights, you threaten the constitutional rights of everybody ... if you threaten the rule of law for one person, you threaten if for everybody in America."

The MAGA crowd is now calling to ignore the conservative-majority Supreme Court — and arrest anyone who enforces its ruling. Really? This is what fascism looks like.

Q: "Do you think that the country is currently in a constitutional crisis?" Sen. Van Hollen: "Yes we are. They are very much flouting the courts as we speak...They are doing nothing. They are absolutely in violation of the courts' orders."

Flashback to Easter Sunday at the White House with VP and Second Gentleman.

Van Hollen: "I'm very glad that the killed of Rachel Morin has been convicted in a court of law. That is how we hold guilty people accountable ... I'm not sure why Abrego Garcia's rights should be denied based on an awful murder he had absolutely nothing to do with."

DANA BASH: “can you say with absolute certainty García has never been in MS-13?” VAN HOLLEN: “Trump is trying to change the subject” away from due process 🎯 ALSO: Can we say “with absolute certainty” Dana was never in MS-13? Her Q is backwards. That’s the point.

i’m getting van hollen pilled

Two people sued for stealing charitable funds from victims on the left, two people with no criminal record who have not done that on the right. He’s correct. They are not the same.

You might see chatter about giving RFK Jr the benefit of the doubt re that eugenic shit (believe me, as a parent of a severely autistic kid, I've seen a lot of people trying to "claify" his bullshit) Don't give him the benefit of the doubt. He's done nothing to earn it and a lot to not deserve it.

In today’s daily status report, the government’s declarant—acting DHS general counsel Joseph Mazzara—says “I am aware of public reporting suggesting that Mr. Abrego Garcia may no longer be at the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT).” Otherwise, “still nothing further to report.”

Who radicalized him?

The White House mocked a man wrongly deported and detained in El Salvador with a fake “never coming back” meme, posted on an official channel. Rep. Jasmine Crockett called it childish, cruel, and legally damning—likely to appear in future contempt proceedings. 1/2

Notice his hands…👇 Absolutely. No. Tattoos.✨

Hitler and his propaganda machine used manipulated photos and visual propaganda to spread lies about Jewish people. Hitler’s regime weaponized images, often faked, staged, or taken out of context, to dehumanize Jews and justify genocide.
