Are there any decent Republicans that would stand up and do the right thing? If so, who are they? Because those are the ones we need to put the most pressure on.

During the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, the 🇨🇦 embassy in Tehran hid six 🇺🇸 diplomats in their homes for three months at risk of hanging. IF THEY CAN DO IT, DEMS CAN FLY TO EL SALVADOR. @democrats.org @democrats.senate.gov @pelosihousegov.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Do y'all understand yet what "antifa" was trying to stop? It's everything 47 is doing every day. It's pro democracy, and Republicans hate it. Ergo, Rs are anti democracy.

And boy, our system failed to reckon with the January 6th, 2001 insurrection. Now look what's happening bc our government failed (again) to protect America. Remember 911, recall JFK's assassination. What are we paying for? All the taxes we pay aren't being used to keep US democracy safe.

Maybe it’s just me, but we’ve been in a Constitutional crisis ever since the orange felon plotted a seditious coup against the United States as well as committed espionage and wasn’t sent to jail, so him ignoring the Supreme Court is yet another lawless action taken by a tyrant.

Senator Van Hollen needs to demand DSS protection at a minimum when he goes to El Salvador, if not more from DoD. Jonestown is the warning.

Because Republicans are in charge of both houses of Congress. We can change that in the midterms next year.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

Has social media trained us to react, not reflect? Jewish wisdom teaches: “Who is wise? One who learns from everyone.” (Pirkei Avot 4:1) We need more curiosity, less certainty—more machloket l’shem shamayim, disagreement for the sake of heaven.

SADLY TRUE. AND THAT IS NO MISTAKE, but result of many years of RW propaganda, social manipulation, indoctrination of Americans by Putin crony Murdock's Fox over-paid RW "Fascist Lie Parrots", Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, Russian paid YouTube podcasters. Fascists know how to create fear/hate/division.

I am convinced he’s sending innocent men to a death camp in El Salvador without due process is so he can send whoever he likes to prison without due process. If you think he’s stopping with immigrants you are very much mistaken.

That it’s fine with Republicans for Kyle Rittenhouse to kill people to "save his life," but a woman with cancer who needs chemo to save hers can't get an abortion, is really fucked up. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #WomensRightsAreHumanRights

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

The most specific threat I’ve ever come across was when two Swedish people were playing a video game and one said to the other jag ska slå dig över örat med en gräddfilsdoppad sked! It means “I’m going to hit you over the ear with a spoon dipped in sour cream!”

DOGE keeps cutting agencies and funding and personnel, but no one I know has saved a dime on taxes. It’s almost like they are stripping the public good of resources to send that money to the oligarchs in tax cuts…

I'm pretty sure 47 wants to emulate Bukele.

The thing to know about Bukele is that he's on his second term for a country that doesn't allow consecutive terms. He accomplished this by firing the sitting supreme court and appointing new judges.
