NEW: The ACLU has filed a sworn declaration from a Venezuelan woman who ICE sought to turn over to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act, who declares that "I heard two US government officials talking and they said 'there is an order saying we can’t take off but we already have.'"

How to Think (and Act) Like a Dissident Movement https://twp.ai/1WB94g

"A government contractor and lobbyist who served in President Donald Trump’s first administration bought Vice President JD Vance’s Virginia home in an above-market deal, a sale his spokesperson says was based on the market." $170,000 ABOVE ASKING PRICE

It's not merely foolish or comical, it is against the law to discuss classified matters (war plans!) on non-classified, non-government platforms. It's also a national security risk. This platform could well have been compromised by foreign intelligence services or by others at home or abroad.

This is a heck of a brave wonderful woman

This is insane.

Avoiding town halls, dismissing those who depend on social security, shamelessly hawking Tesla stock, firing thousands of veterans... They're telling you exactly who they are accountable to. Hint: It's not you.

Elon bought the White House, now he's trying to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court. This is exactly what oligarchy looks like. Wisconsin, on April 1st vote against him by voting Judge Crawford.

During a hearing on Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport hundreds, a federal judge vowed to keep investigating whether Trump violated his court order to halt the deportations and determine necessary consequences.

This is the first of what I think are going to be A LOT of primary challenges along these lines.

Retweeting this for no particular reason @annecaprara.bsky.social

Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

Jim Himes: "This administration acts with an unbelievable cocktail of incompetence and illegality."

Trump is going for education for a reason. Wake up America 🇺🇸 You will not get many more chances.

I feel confident in predicting history will judge this decade or so as the absolutely stupidest time in American history. Honestly our kids and grandkids will read about this time and be shocked that adults existed.

The people out to destroy this Republic hate courage more than anything. Put it in their face, every day.

Timeline cleanse 🌞

Detainees died due to starvation or dehydration. ICE murdered them.

Hey, Politico -- I consider myself to have "long-term standing in the private legal community" and I have been willing to speak out almost every single day. And, I'm not alone. Yes, there is widespread cowardice among law firms, but don't ignore those refusing to bow down. Defiantly, Marc Elias

Crockett: Pam Bondi, if you have an issue with terrorism, maybe you should talk to your boss about locking back up those guys that he let out that participated in January 6th.

Warnock: Mr. Musk had unmitigated audacity to call Social Security a Ponzi scheme. I guess that’s easy for a billionaire who has been living on the government dole to say.

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

Sanders: I will tell you what I think the worst addiction in this country is, the most dangerous, and that is the greed of the oligarchs. Everybody wants to do well. These guys already have billions, tens of billions, hundreds of billions. How much money do you need?

Weingarten: When they close an office, it is to try and stop people from getting the benefits. When they change a phone system, it is to stop people from getting the benefit.

“George Conway, a frequent Trump critic and a former partner at a major law firm, told NBC News that firms need to look beyond the bottom line: “‘They have a moral duty to defend the very system that has allowed them to make the kind of money that they make. … (1/2)

This is fabulous!

Pennsylvania Musk or Us: Demand Rep. Smucker Fight Back! Rally · Volunteer organized for Indivisible Lancaster's Penn Square Penn Square Lancaster, PA 17603 Saturday, February 22 11 – 11:30am EST www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

34,000 people showed up for the Fight Oligarchy rally today in Denver.

Ron Johnson hasn't been holding town halls. So @indivisible.org Madison held one for him. Friday night. 500+ people. I'm about to ask them to help get out the vote for Susan Crawford.

AOC = Anti Oligarchs Club

Casar: You can quickly explain Doge with just two numbers. First: $8 million a day. That’s how much Elon Musk collects in federal government contracts. Second: $65 a day. That’s how much the average senior—someone who has worked their entire life—gets from Social Security.…

@warnock.senate.gov: "If they're interested in waste, fraud, and abuse, they should start with co-president Musk's own companies, and ask why has he gotten $20 billion and more from the federal government. This is wealth-fare at its worst."

Just goes to show: No amount of money can buy some people even a single clue

Sanders: I'm not a mathematician but I do know that 99% is a hell of a lot bigger number than 1%. I do know that if we stand together, we are the vast majority of people. We can defeat trumpism

On April 5, we’re mobilizing to show the strength of our movement — because the fight against President Musk and Kennedy Center chairman Trump is just starting. Join us: handsoff2025.com/?SQF_SOURCE=indivisible

We do this, because we love our country.

New in PN: How #TeslaTakedown is bringing the fight to Musk "Part of the reason people are coming out is because they feel it’s having a real impact on Elon’s pocketbook. I imagine that’s something he cares deeply about. It’s working."

DHS to revoke legal status of 532,000 migrants under sponsorship programs https://twp.ai/1VydTy

On Friday, lawyers for Griffin laid out their case for retroactively disqualifying 65,000 ballots, disenfranchising tens of thousands of registered voters and overturning the election results and Riggs’s victory. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

2022: "The Supreme Court would NEVER overturn Roe v. Wade!" 2025: "The administration would NEVER take away Social Security!"

the people who told you to calm down about Roe are the same people telling you to calm down about Social Security, in case you hadn't noticed
