BREAKING: The NC Supreme Court just shut down a GOP attempt to toss 60,000+ votes and block Justice Allison Riggs from taking her rightful seat. Voters decided. Republicans tried to undo it. This is why we fight—for democracy, for justice, for every vote.

We are going to have to have contempt hearings in Abrego Garcia, and the district judge is going to need to start putting people in jail until they comply with the very basic order of “tell me where he is and what you are doing to find out.” I don’t know what else to do.

Bring back everyone who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. No one should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

Yo! Shoutout to AOC & Bernie for leading by example — showing up, speaking truth & organizing w/the people, not just talking at them from D.C. We need that same energy from all Dems. Whether it’s 35,000 or 35 people — show up. Hit the streets, hit the town halls, show you’re ready to fight for us.

Hard to believe the hill the Justice Department wants to die on, we don’t want to comply with your order so we aren’t going to. Nothing like engaging in explicitly lawless behavior they don’t even pretend to regret.

I'm a lot less alone/crazy right now, because this is EXACTLY how it feels: "It’s like, at least once a day I’m all, these guys? THESE guys? THIS is what’s happening, and THESE fucking guys are doing it? Are you fucking kidding me? You couldn’t write this as fiction. It’d be too on-the-nose."

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal—convicted on 34 felony counts of fraud. He is lying, and he is manipulating the stock market too. At his best, he enriches himself, the billionaires who back him, and the members of Congress who trade with him. Not you. Not me. Not the people.

HAPPENING NOW: The Justice Department has missed a 5pm deadline to file details about Kilmar Abrego Garcia's whereabouts and efforts to comply with a judge's otder to facilitate his return. Still waiting to see if they're just a few minutes behind or not planning to file at all

The Trump regime is working to deter dissent. Anyone who goes against Trump could end up on a target list. This is having a chilling effect on five major pillars of society — universities, science, the media, the law, and the arts. It's straight out of the fascist playbook.

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

"Where law ends, tyranny begins." The president can't just demand $9 billion from Harvard because he feels like it. If we let power go unchecked, it won’t stop asking. It’ll keep taking. Again and again.
