I'm old enough to remember when Republicans said concentration camps were bad.

Didn’t get a chance to post this earlier, but there was a huge turnout in support of Kilmar Abrego Garcia at the federal courthouse. From my seat in the jury room, I heard the supporters outside chanting throughout the hearing.

They have no problem sending SWAT into schools to grab migrant kids, but when it’s an active shooter they use those children as human shields.

I think this is the key, not the wrangling over the line between “facilitate” and “effectuate.” The temporal limitation and ultimate disposition is up the U.S. El Salvador is merely a temporary custodian, subject to those conditions. Punto.

"We can react by seeing all of this for what it is, and naming it by name: incipient state terror. We can react by associating ourselves with others who are repressed before we are. Only in solidarity do we affirm law."

16 April 1932 | A French Jewish girl, Micheline Caen, was born in Montmorency. She arrived in #Auschwitz on her 12th birthday in the 71st transport of Jews deported from Drancy. After selection she was murdered in the gas chamber.

One of the best feelings as a writer is the envy when reading someone else who knows how to tell a story. This is one of those essays.

Twelve students studying in Pentagon schools in the US and around the world are suing the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, over the book bans he has instigated to remove titles on race and gender from their libraries. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal. He was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud, found liable for sexual abuse. If he wants to find the rapists and criminals in this country, he should look in the mirror

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Yes, this question.

The Gestapo didn't have to watch everyone: your friends, neighbors, co-workers, even family members had the power to destroy you. Much of the terror came from not knowing who was watching or listening. History doesn't replicate like DNA but it does repeat open.substack.com/pub/thecycle...

Thank YOU for coming out! This is exactly why we do this. One objective of these rallies has been for people in red and swing areas to start seeing and finding one another. There is power in numbers. We also bring local organizers onstage to speak and highlight local issues. It’s been great 💜

“I’ll say it again: On the day I left office, America had the strongest economy in the world. That’s a fact. It’s not just my view. It’s the consensus view among economists and financial publications around the world,” Biden said. “And now, what’s happening?” www.cnn.com/2025/04/15/p...

MAGA idiots have been tricked into surrounding Tesla dealerships nationwide, their presence alone is deterring potential buyers and collapsing sales. Psyop successful 👏

BUSTED! It IS up to Trump.

They're turning on each other.

Trump, who (falsely) claimed during his election campaign that Biden wasn't doing ENOUGH to assist with NC's hurricane recovery....wait for it....just revoked Biden's Dec 2024 hurricane clean-up reimbursement agreement. #ncpol ncnewsline.com/2025/04/12/f...

Biden: Why are these guys taking aim at social security now? They are following that old line from tech startups. The quote is move fast, break things. Well, they are certainly breaking things… They want to wreck it so they can rob it

Trump's cuts to Medicaid would cost Minnesota $1.6 billion a year and make it impossible to deliver the health care Minnesotans need.   That's why we’re traveling the state, letting Washington know we won't let billionaires take away health care for kids and veterans.

Mohsen Mahdawi, a green card holder and student activist, was at his citizenship interview when he was kidnapped by ICE agents. Mahmoud, Rumeysa, and now Mohsen—Donald Trump is violating due process and targeting student activists for their political beliefs.

xi starting to swing the big hammers:

Marjorie Taylor Greene's town hall in Cobb County, Georgia ends as a protester yells "free Kilmar!" 🍿

"Oh, yeah. Come to mama... " ---Janet, after laying down two pair---nines and queens---to win a hand during a friendly lunchtime game of poker

Well... yes, that's correct. Accurate headline. I couldn't have written it better myself.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

In new statement on Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Maryland's Senator Chris Van Hollen says: "It should be a priority of the U.S. government to secure his safe release, which is why tomorrow I am traveling to El Salvador."

MAJOR SCOOP: The local detective who first accused Mr. Abrego Garcia of being a member of MS-31 was suspended from the police force and indicted merely WEEKS LATER for providing confidential information to a sex worker who he was paying in exchange for sexual acts.

I hate it when I gain 20 pounds for a role and then realize I'm not an actor.

Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen is going to El Salvador to check on the status of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Thank you, Senator Van Hollen!

Scumbags.

The only way to save America is to impeach Donald Trump immediately.

It took less than 3 months after Trump pardoned 1,500 of his violent supporters for an arsonist to attempt to kill a top Dem in Josh Shapiro. America has too many lost boys like Cody Ballmer, and too many politicians ready to hand them a lit match My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Breaking News! Trump signs new EO stating: “Anyone caught buying taco ingredients at the grocery store will be considered a gang member and will be shipped off to a death camp in El Salvador. Taco Tuesdays are cancelled indefinitely.” (Satire, for now)

78 years ago today, Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier and became the first black player to play in the MLBs modern era. MAGA would call him a DEI hire. The number 42 has been retired by all MLB teams, with the exception of April 15, when players throughout the MLB wear the number in tribute.

Crisis Actress Extraordinaire Nancy Mace is a trooper. Even after she was snubbed in an elevator, she showed up to Congress with her full medical team.

Goldens are derpy… Someone needs to hit reset 😂💛 🔊 🎥retrievers

He’s deporting green card holders. He’s detaining international students for disagreeing with him. He’s ignoring state judges AND the Supreme Court. He’s talking about sending American prisoners to death camps. If you think you’re safe, remember that he called us “the enemy within.”

If “innocent until proven guilty” isn’t worth fighting for, then we might as well just give up now.

This is a line in the sand moment

This is where Trump illegally sent #KilmarAbregoGarcia. In our name. We should all be outraged. H/T Steven Donzinger: www.instagram.com/p/DIckqx4t3-...

Hearing the same from a direct source. People in Americorps being told they're done. It's over. No notice.
