This is something we can all do.👇🏼 File a complaint with the FL and DC Bar to have Pam Bondi disbarred for not complying with the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to return Mr. Garcia from El Salvador.

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

TO RECAP: - they’re snatching innocent people off the streets - they’re deporting people to supermax prisons solely because they have tattoos - they’re using the Signal app (which holds messages temporarily) so evidence of their crimes isn’t found later - Republicans are fine with all this

Confirming, as was obvious from context already, that this wasn’t a one-off. They are routinely using Signal to evade statutory record retention requirements.

Remember.. Due to the #SaveAct coming up for a vote w/a reasonable chance of passing.. for married women who took their husband's name (or changed your name for any reason) & don't have a passport.. you're the 1st #women to lose voting rights. Here's @politicsgirl.bsky.social youtu.be/nZocqZvcYn8

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

Just to clarify, a lot of Americans don’t understand what it means to lose democracy. But plenty of others do. That’s why in Europe, Scandinavia, and the Baltics, where democracy was destroyed and had to be rebuilt, it is at its most robust. Even under today’s threats, that’s our vision of hope.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...
