You cannot legally send Americans to an El Salvadorian prison no matter what they have done. Plain and simple.

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

When Kilmar's case goes to Discovery, his lawyer(s) hopefully depose the officer(s) at Prince George County Police that stated he was a gang member because he was wearing a "Michael Jordan" cap. This is what ICE is citing... tear that down.

The way Bukele was treated in the oval vs. Zelenskyy is all you need to know.

First do churches!!!

Thank you Governor Kotek

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

"After nearly five hours, he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action. "It's not about the immigrants," his sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's coming to us Americans, and it's going to go after all of us." www.nbcboston.com/news/politic...

Richmonders saw firsthand this year why we desperately need stronger water infrastructure. These investment cuts are simply unacceptable. richmond.com/news/local/g...

When ICE agents descended upon 19-year-old Merwil Guttiérez in New York City, they realized he was not the intended target of their operation — but they arrested the boy anyway. Merwil was, in fact, in the United States legally — from Venezuela, seeking asylum. Merwil’s father, Wilmer Guttiérez,…

Simple neuroscience-based hack for anxiety: 🌿go & be in a place with plants & trees for 15 mins 🌳You'll inhale plant oils(phytoncides) from foliage 📉your stress hormone(cortisol) will drop significantly Many of our brain pathways evolved to motivate us to forage for plants-they're still very active

HAPPENING NOW: Protesters have gathered outside the Maryland courthouse where Judge Xinis is holding a hearing regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia

Straight Arrow News: US Corporate bankruptcies hit the highest level since the Great Recession

Just so I am keeping everything straight…the government can’t tell you to wear a mask because FREEDOM!!!!, but it can decide you are a “terrorist” and send you to a foreign gulag without due process and throw away the key. That right?

Taxes done by deadline

This is great.

Cops tazed a Black man and they manhandled this guy at Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Town Hall in Cobb County, Georgia. Find these folks a good civil rights attorney and bury them in lawsuits. Unacceptable use of force and MAGA cheered. Vile.

ICE has just sent an innocent 19-year old young man named Merwil Gutiérrez to El Salvador to die in the same concentration camp. He wasn’t even their target, and they kidnapped him anyway. Jesus Christ, people. Wake up.

Are you watching @maddow.msnbc.com tonight? Cause….wow.

REPORTER: There are laws on the book that make it a criminal offense to harbor illegal immigrants, like sanctuary state leaders have been doing. Do you think they should be prosecuted and possibly put in prison? HOMAN: Absolutely. And hold tight on that one, because it's coming.

NEWS: Hong Kong has suspended postal service for all goods being sent to the United States, saying the U.S is "unreasonable, bullying, and imposing tariffs abusively."

WATCH: “Fascism is here. We cannot act like this is normal. Shame on you who are silent in this time.” Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social just spoke out about the Trump regime “kidnapping” #KilmarAbregoGarcia and refusing to return him.

We are already seeing a lot of this by the Nazi monsters in power. 🤬

"Maybe overdue accountability is finally starting."

If you're being kidnapped, you have a right to defend yourself. If someone approaches you and tries to throw you in a van and they present no ID and no warrant, you're being abducted. In many states, you can respond with lethal force. Understand the law.

Trump's tariffs have cost the US nearly $30 trillion, this translates to an additional $300,000 per family of four. That’s more damage than any economic policy pursued by any president in US history. He's bankrupting the country in real time. fortune.com/2025/04/04/l...

Trump attorney Ed Martin praised this holocaust denier Timothy Hale, who said “Hitler should have finished the job” and Trump dined with the little worm in his own home.

Thank you for going to El Salvador @vanhollen.senate.gov.

Get yourself a senator willing to rescue you in a foreign country after your messy president wrongfully deports you… …seems like a sentence I shouldn’t have to write in 2025 but here we are. Senator Chris Van Hollen leaves for El Salvador tomorrow to initiate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Looks like Doge-gate is going to be 100 times worse than Signal-gate.

This is some scary shit right here

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

Van Hollen: "If the president gets to shred the Constitution and ignore the Supreme Court in this case, it is a very short path to the president ignoring court orders in other cases. So every American should care about this."
