THIS!!!!

GOP trying to pretend their racism is patriotism.........

385 American workers die every day due to dangerous working conditions, according to the @aflcio.org. Meanwhile, Trump put a former Amazon exec in charge of worker health and safety and is planning to shutter 11 regional OSHA offices. Make no mistake: these moves will cost workers their lives.

And here we go…👇 Some good news for a change! Enjoy. 😎✨

Jessica: Abrego Garcia's legal status was approved by the Trump administration in 2019, and every year since then, he has checked in with the departed of homeland security, and no one has said anything about him being a gang banger.

Taken to its logical extension, the administration’s argument that courts cannot require the executive branch to return of a person in foreign custody, that argument can apply to any of us.

Dear @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social STOP telling America we are in a Constituional crisis (which we are) but ACTING like it’s politics as usual. IF IT’S A GDMF CRISIS, ACT LIKE IT! We don’t want to see more speeches & interviews. We want to see open rebellion from YOU!!

Once again, not a drag queen. www.10tv.com/article/news...

This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

250 years ago today America began its march toward independence at the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The battles marked “No Kings Day, Part I.” Today millions of Americans will take part in “No Kings Day, Part II.”

An absolute must-read from @stevevladeck.bsky.social this morning: “Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.”

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

What RFK Jr. said was reprehensible. He should be ashamed of himself and step down.

This is some sick shit

DHS is threatening to revoke Harvard’s ability to host international students and the IRS is looking at revoking their tax exemption. The “stop the weaponization of government” crowd sure is quiet as fuck on this one.

If Kilmar Abrego Garcia had only beaten Capitol police officers half to death with a Trump flag on his way into pissing on the halls on Congress while looking to hang a Vice President—he’d be free right now.

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

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."

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

I am calling for a total and complete shutdown of detainees being removed from the United States to foreign prisons until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."
