I find myself getting sincerely emotional about this. That he’s, under the circumstances, okay. That his wife and kids know this after an agonizing month without him. That a Democratic politician cared enough to go and see him, even after getting told no at first. Trying matters. Fighting works.

(HERE is the bench slap I've been looking for) HITTING THE DOCKET: In Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals DENIES the Trump Administration's request for an emergency stay pending appeal & DENIES its request for a writ of mandamus. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

One problem that seems common among elites is that they expect there to be some way to take on fascism that is easy and risk-free, which is absolutely delusional.

Some IE members were out at the El Salvadorian Consulate yesterday to express their support for bringing Kilmar Abrego Garcia home. Everyone has a right to due process. Bring him home!

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

I am just ready to explode with rage and fury. He was hiding by taking a union job and going to work every day? Based on what we know, he could be a "father of the year" candidate, and Bondi has ZERO evidence to the contrary. I know that "all governments lie," but this is reaching satanic levels

“So this is my radical proposal for universities: Act like universities, not like businesses. Spend your endowments. Accept more, not fewer students. Open up your campuses and expand your reach not by buying real estate but by bringing education to communities. Create a base. Become a movement.”

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

Q: I take that to mean you are not on board with trying to find “common ground” with Trump... A: @dananessel.bsky.social: "Common ground in destroying our federal system of government? His actions are antithetical to everything I've worked my entire life to support."

The only way forward, that I can see, requires both courage and collective action. If we’re not going to fight for our students and our scholarship, then what the hell are we doing anyway?

in so much news coverage there’s still this sense of propriety and decorum in the face of an outright assault on our civil and human rights. i just want to remind journalists that your politeness will not save you—so you might as well say what you really mean.

Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

The idea that the federal government can go before a judge and say, “Yeah we arrested the wrong guy, but too bad, so sad” is not alarming nearly enough people yet.

Yesterday, TX Rep. Keith Self (R) quoted Nazi Joseph Goebbels on controlling public opinion🤬 Using Nazi propaganda is more than vile; it’s a flashing red siren. This is how democracy dies: not with a bang, but with silence in the face of fascist rot. America, do not be silent. Call out evil.

People are saying that there looks to be a turnout surge in Wisconsin for the judicial election so just remember that if you're in line by 8:00 pm, STAY IN LINE. Get out there and show Elon that your vote is not for sale. :)
