Just out: A deeply important conversation with @rgoodlaw.bsky.social on the Supreme Court’s overnight ruling, contempt findings, and what’s really at stake when due process is on the line. #SupremeCourt #DueProcess #ImmigrationLaw #LegalAnalysis #GarciaCase #SCOTUS

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it’s a duck !

Facts matter

It's not so much a panic "attack" at this point, it's more of a standing appointment we have every morning where we meet on my couch for coffee

Good morning, I wanted to wish everyone a peaceful, sunny, and love filled Easter with family and friends.💜💛🩵🩷🧡💜💛🩵🩷🧡

Seriously.

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

I kept having dreams last night about faculty governance and at one point was appointed as a trustee of Columbia, for reasons I cannot explain, if you want to know about my current mental health.

93 affordable housing units, 35 units for victims of domestic violence, 24 supportive housing units for people experiencing homelessness & more projects scrapped due to the administration’s severe cuts to NH’s public health funding and grants freeze. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/16/m...

Additional morning.

In the darkest times, there is cause for hope. May we find strength in each other and our shared belief that a better world is possible. Wishing everyone celebrating a blessed Easter.

On Tuesday, Council gaveled back into session after the spring recess and I did exactly what I was elected to do: show up and work for the people of South Lexington. Swipe through to see some of what I’ve been up to this week 👇 (1/2)

I spent my morning doing clean-up at Boom Island Park – did you know that today's Earth Day Clean-Up is the largest community service project in Minneapolis? It's a good reminder of what we can get done when we work together. Thanks to everyone who came out to help!

An Easter sky on Lake Superior last night. Happy Easter! 🙏

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

The U.S. is forcing Afghan refugees fleeing religious persecution to self-deport back to likely death with the Taliban. I discuss with my former colleague Will Selber who is working with several non-profits trying to help these Afghans. Happy Easter! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gfl...

Signed up to see the birthright citizenship arguments at the Supreme Court in person because I’m a glutton for punishment.

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.

If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

Every major medical institution & Autism Organization: "RFK Jr. is a dangerously unfit. People literally die due to his ignorance, bad science, & Eugenic beliefs." RFK Jr. Supporters: "But ... why is it wrong to Eugenically eliminate Autistic ppl? RFK Jr. told me it's a great idea." #RemoveRFK

RFK Jr. id ushering in a new Dark Ages. All new ‘On Democracy with FPWellman’ on @meidastouch.com now!

History always has a lesson.

#ResistanceRoots It’s the evening of April 18, 1775. For more than a year, you’ve served as courier for the Boston Committee of Public Safety, traveling to New York and Philadelphia to carry messages, documents and news of political unrest. Now you’ve been given your most important assignment. /1

@vanhollen.senate.gov Thank you for doing your job and leading by example 🙏🏿

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.”

I invented a new phone to help save time in the morning

One way someone could poison RFK Jr would be to give him some poison and say "this is poison"

Find hope in rebuilding even if you can't see any. Transitional justice in post-conflict societies was my specialization during my degrees. Never thought using it for my country would happen. We can create better. This is exposing the rot. We can heal through unprecedented change.
