Sending my solidarity, prayers and support to @governor.pa.gov and his family, who endured a horrific arson attack on the first night of Passover. We must oppose and root out political violence in our country to protect democracy and freedom.

Trump’s State Department found no evidence linking Rumeysa Ozturk to antisemitic activity or terrorism, but ICE snatched her off the street and dispatched her to a prison 1,000 miles away with no hearing. This is a hallmark of fascist regimes and utterly incompatible with Due Process.

As someone who knows how to read, I can tell you with certainty the Supreme Court did not say that.   The White House admitted it was an "administrative error" to deport Abrego Garcia and the Supreme Court called on the government to facilitate his return.

I’m amazed that I can continue to feel more sickened every day by the heinous, evil acts of that tyrant in chief, and his handlers. I’m so distraught.

Folks who are citizens of other countries and are considering travel to the United States for a vacation or work or whatever: I strongly advise against it. You will not have protection from the illegal actions of this administration. It's not worth it. Don't roll the dice by traveling here.

Jeffries: "So many of these people are crooks, liars, and frauds, and Marjorie Taylor Greene is of course exhibit A ... we do need to change the law so that sitting members of Congress cannot trade stock. Period. Full stop."

He almost put enough gold stuff in the White House to make it look like the Kremlin. Not quite, but he’ll get there.

We are way past impeachment time

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

More of this please

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

Break up SuckUpBerg The FTC is seeking to break up Meta by forcing a spinoff of Instagram or WhatsApp. www.bbc.com/news/article...

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

America is not "becoming" an autocracy. We officially are one.

PSA ON MEASLES: please like comment and share to spread the word.

Warren: But this also happens to be a case where it’s not just the DOJ and SEC with jurisdiction. State attorneys general all across the country have power here too. That’s why a group of us just sent a letter to every state attorney general, urging them to launch independent investigations.

🔥 @aoc.bsky.social makes the case for #MedicareForAll in Idaho

Jen Psaki: "What power to you have to compel the government to bring Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia home?" Hakeem Jeffries: "We have the power to shape public sentiment and at the end of the day make sure that they understand that the treatment of KAAG is unconscionable, unacceptable and unamerican."

AOC: When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror

“In this arena there are hundreds of Alexandrias” Bernie calls on folks to oppose establishment candidates and run for office like @aoc.bsky.social did

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov

Good for Harvard

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

I remember when Texas passed SB4 in 2023, people said I was being hysterical for saying citizens and legal residents would be forcibly removed from the country. That I was crazy for saying it was a test case. I absolutely fucking hate that I was right.

Cops murdered a teenager with autism and cerebral palsy in Idaho. RIP Victor Perez. Abolish the Police.

John Oliver on the administration's tariff math: "It'd be like trying to figure out the square footage of your home by dividing your phone number by your dog's age."

#GVerse #BreakingNews: Attorney Andrew Weissmann says we have reached a Constitutional Crisis regarding the Abrego Garcia case, after the #OrangeBuffoon and El Salvador President Bukele say he will not be returned to the U.S. 😑

Paying taxes with tears in my eyes knowing what they're paying for - disappearing innocent people to a concentration camp in El Salvador. What have we become?

Rep Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY): “Mr. Abrego Garcia must be returned immediately before he is killed in one of the most dangerous prisons in the world. Enough with the fake bravado. This is not America. The Supreme Court must aggressively enforce its order immediately.”

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

Nothing to see here but Florida's royal family laundering public funds into the royal family's campaign slush fund. www.tampabay.com/news/florida...

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.
