DO NOT get sucked into each individual story. & all the shit Trump, Musk, GOP are flooding you with. Instead, make sure you stay calibrated on Good vs. Bad, & on HOW WE PUT GOOD PEOPLE IN POWER. Because nothing good is going to happen until we do that.

El Salvadoran President Bukele is visiting the White House on Monday. What do you think the odds are that if the administration asked, in concurrence with the visit, for El Salvador to return Albrego Garcia that they would refuse? 10,000 to 1? Higher?

Exactly

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

THREAD: Some folks have asked why Donald doesn’t just pick up the phone and bring Abrego Garcia back. Besides the cruelty, what’s the point of defying the lower court’s order? Basically, he wants to see if he can get away with it. 1/

NEW: The Trump regime continues to defy court orders, and lawyers for Abrego Garcia - the Maryland father illegally disappeared to El Salvador - have initiated contempt proceedings. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/contempt-p...

Democracy isn’t dying in darkness it’s being dismantled at the hands of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. @allisonjriggs.bsky.social won this election fair and square back in November. Her opponent is a petulant Confederate cosplayer who can’t handle losing. Concede Jefferson Griffin.

these days if you tell me you’re into “wellness” i assume you are too stupid to breathe

My law firm is currently litigating 49 voting and election cases in 21 states. States with the most cases: AZ, GA, NC, NV, FL, LA, PA. I expect new cases will be filed this week.

Sanders: Instead of spending $1 trillion a year on the military, let’s build 5 million units of low income and affordable housing..

I hate to say this, and it gives me the chills just to think it, but CECOT is on (and not a short way down) the road to Auschwitz.

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

Sanders: When Trump looks out at this crowd… they pay attention to this stuff, Elon Musk does. You are scaring the hell out of them. Because they know what we know: They are the 1% and we are the 99%

Bernie was right all along.

After Wisconsin Elon lost his standing privileges

I’m curious if Roberts genuinely thought that Trump would comply with his 9-0 decision. Because John Roberts’ level of credulity is going to determine a lot of outcomes in the very near future.

Sanders: There are some 36,000 of you… The largest rally we have had. Your presence here today is making Donald Trump and Elon Musk very nervous

Sanders: Elon Musk announced most of the people were paid organizers. Anybody here get paid to come today? Crowd: No

What is $25 today is going to be $60 tomorrow. Real test of the Trump Mass Psychosis coming.

HITTING THE DOCKET: The Trump Administration tells Judge Xinis that Kilmer Abrego Garcia is “currently behind held in the Terrorism Confinement Center in El Salvador. He is alive and secure in that facility.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Sanders: And Trump, very envious of sizes, he said Bernie has rallies of two or three thousand people, can’t compete with Trump…. he lied…

"He took his case to Europe. For closed-door meetings with EU’s heavy hitters. Japan was in the room too, listening closely. The pitch was simple: if Trump went too far with tariffs, Canada would start offloading Treasury bonds. A slow, steady bleed...." deanblundell.substack.com/p/carneys-ch...

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
