I suggest everyone become very, very familiar with this piece by law Professor @david.noll.org. I suspect you will be referring to it often. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/if-t...

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.

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."

Red Wine and Blue published a pdf tracking exactly what the Republicans are doing to meet their Project 2025 goals. It is happening. The Heritage Foundation says they can now destroy the US government so they can rebuild it as a Christian based government instead. drive.google.com/file/d/1wB8v...

This is not a joke. Trump and his cabinet members have ties to Russia and DOGE appears to be sharing data with possibly Russia. DOD took cyber security protecting the U.S. from Russian cyber attacks off line. When will this threat be halted and prosecuted?!!

#ProtectLivesOfWhistleblowers Russians are trying to access sensitive government NLRB files after DOGE entered it & created access. DOGE turned off all of the cyber security for this database. Now, threats against an employee who reported it.

Since the Port of Long Beach & other CA ports handle 40% of all shipping imports will be hurt so much by the tariffs on Chinese goods, CA should secede from the U.S. and open a separate trade agreement with China. @schiff.senate.gov

Trump took one of his most chilling steps toward retribution when he directed the govt. to investigate 2 officials in his first administration: Chris Krebs, who headed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, & Miles Taylor, who was chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security.

Democrats in Congress must keep putting forth Articles of Impeachment constantly & publicly speak out against these illegal kidnappings of innocent people without due process. The courts must rule on the Alien & Sedition Act misuse now! Go on Fox, right wing media & do town halls. #stopTrump

@housedemocrats.bsky.social @algreen.house.gov @repilhan.bsky.social Congress must prevent more innocent people from being deported to another country's Gulag abusing a wartime power. #ImpeachTrump

@kaine.senate.gov @hirono.senate.gov @meganhunt.bsky.social @baldwin.senate.gov @democrats.senate.gov @demguardrails.bsky.social Stop illegal deportations of innocent people without due process! This lawlessness and defiance of court orders cannot go on. There are enough grounds to impeach Trump.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

#KristinHannah #NewNovelAboutVietnamWar #GoodRead Kristin Hannah, #1 New York Times bestselling author, gives us the story of a turbulent era in America: the 1960s. The Women is at once an intimate portrait of a woman coming of age in a dangerous time & an epic tale of a nation divided by war.

Happy Passover and Happy Easter. May our faith sustain us during these dark times. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnXL...

@kristin-hannah.bsky.social I just read The Women. It was so illuminating. If only Americans would learn our history and stop repeating our mistakes in mistaken imperialism and warfare for corporations to profit from.

“While family physicians are certainly our top concern in Canada, there is no need to turn away any U.S. physicians who are interested in coming to this country.” CMA President Dr. @jossreimer.bsky.social speaks to @ctvnews-rss.bsky.social about recruiting U.S. medical professionals to Canada.

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."

Marfa Public Radio reported the U.S. troops will not be directly involved in arresting people suspected of being in the U.S. without legal status. Officials said they will operate in a "support" role for federal border. However, Big Bend has the fewest number of encounters of the entire region.

Big Bend National Park turned into 'military zone' near Texas border, per report The Big Bend region has the lowest number of migrant crossings. TX GOP wants to profit off of incarcerating as many asylum seekers as possible. Human rights, civil rights, & constitutional rights mean nothing to them.

A published RFC proposal said the Dept. of Homeland Security could spend up to $45 billion over the next several years on immigrant detention. The plans have set off a gold rush among contractors. All this spending is unfolding at the same time the government has made cuts to federal agencies.

In Trump’s second term in office, the government is poised to spend tens of billions of dollars on immigration detention, including unprecedented plans to hold immigrants arrested in the U.S. in massive tent camps on military bases. #GreedOverCountry

Columbia student detained while attending naturalization interview Mohsen Mahdawi, who was born and raised in a refugee camp in the West Bank and is a U.S. permanent resident, was taken into custody in Vermont, his lawyer said.

Days after a Louisiana judge ruled to allow the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil to proceed, and just hours after ICE abducted Columbia student and green card holder Mohsen Mahdawi, thousands held an emergency Passover Seder outside the ICE headquarters in New York City last night.

www.facebook.com/share/r/12Dn... The Trump Administration is following the playbook of dictators around the world and throughout history who stifled free speech and other human rights in order to solidify their hold on power. They use propaganda to try to justify their anti-democracy tactics.

A statement from reservists in Cyber Directorate units said that, "in order to ensure his political survival, Netanyahu has renewed the war in Gaza.

A group of officers and reservists from the IDF's Special Ops and Cyber Directorates have published letters calling for an end to Israel's war in the Gaza Strip & the release of the hostages.
