Hopefully the history books will talk about how we fought.

Today was truly inspiring. Something happened that we’ve never seen before, you made noise in places that rarely see protests like this. Communities across traditionally conservative areas hosted historic turnouts.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

🚨HUGE: Joni Ernst is toast. A Democrat FLIPPED a deep-red Iowa seat Trump won by 21 pts. Vets, farmers, unions—Iowa voters are DONE with Trump’s trade war. Now, Democratic challenger Nathan Sage says it best: “Unions are under attack, farmers are getting f*cked.” We can win. PART 1:

As a historian I have to remind you that King George III was nowhere near as dangerous or unstable as the guy currently in charge of the nation conceived in liberty

I’m glad SCOTUS stepped in & stopped that plane from taking off. Deporting folks with no record & no due process isn’t justice—it’s cruelty. Meanwhile, the Republicans follow a convicted felon like he’s the Second Coming. You can’t scream “law & order” while breaking the law at every turn.

Resist.Stand Up.Once they come for one of us.They come for all. 473 showed for #IndivisibleWA8 to say #FreeKilmar in sm town of #Issaquah. To say #DueProcess is right afforded all persons! No ❌secret police ❌people disappeared ❌offshore Gulags 1st they came for Kilmar.Next they come for you.

Today, all of you helped shift the narrative. You can see it clearly in the wave of MAGA comments trying to drown us out, they’re rattled. Small towns across the Heartland drawing record-breaking crowds? That’s not something we’ve seen before.

The Wealthy In This Country Would Poison Us For The Sake Of Profit!!!

Very creative, San Francisco! 8647 ✊

White House says wrongly deported man is 'never coming back' to US. Translation: I don't care that the Supreme Court ordered me to facilitate his return, I'm ignoring court orders. This is the breaking point of democracy and the Supreme Court must weigh in immediately. Then the GOP must impeach.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

The Supreme Court blocked the Trump admin from deporting Venezuelans out of the Bluebonnet facility in TX — for now. The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 has NO place in modern immigration policy. This pause is a win, but the fight is far from over. And yes — Thomas & Alito dissented. Of course they did.

Thousands show solidarity at #TransRightsAreHumanRights Demo in Parliament Square.

LFG!! Fuck the Oligarchy!

In order to fight back, you must understand what you're fighting against.

Today marks the 250th anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord, which began the American Revolution. Our nation was founded on resistance to arbitrary authority and monarchical power. We built a democracy in the face of impossible odds. We must continue to protect it.

The American public understands the difference between being deported and being sent to a foreign prison. Right now, a mass murderer in a maximum security American prison has more rights than the people being sent to CECOT for a lifetime sentence.

One point that's going to get lost in the discussion of #SCOTUS's intervention in the Alien Enemy Act case: This is the *value* of nationwide injunctions. Without them, you have to go district by district, and the government can try to play games by moving people to districts without relief (yet).

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

“We’re headed towards…” is a phrase that is no longer acceptable as it relates to authoritarianism. We arrived weeks ago. apple.news/Afn5usfmGRcq...

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 getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts. From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

That American citizen who ICE locked up is now free. ICE should be shut down. They're a gang of thugs operating as kidnappers. www.cnn.com/2025/04/17/u...

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

This week, alongside Ranking Member Connolly and DOGE Ranking Member Stansbury, I led an inquiry demanding answers from GSA about this shady “fire sale” of federal property.

Auchincloss: "This issue about the Maryland man is not about border security or immigration. It's about freedom. Freedom in the US means that if your feet are on American soil, you get to stand in front of a judge on an equal basis to the awesome power of the state and put forward the facts."

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

Over 1,000 international students had their legal status snatched by the Trump admin—no warning, no hearing, no due process. This ain’t immigration policy. It’s a power trip.

Unconscionable
