The draft-dodging President continues his attacks on soldiers. Not "the Military" but the soldiers themselves: the dead he called "losers", and "suckers" for getting killed. He's chopped the head off the VA, and much more. How can any soldier support this man?

I'm sorry, but a big "f++k you!" to all the Politicians who are asking for contributions "to help fight" or because" I said one thing against" Trump. You were elected to fight for Democracy. Challenging Trump is your JOB. Many of us already contributed $ or time to elect you. Don't exploit us.

It is time to start bringing suits against the individual officers committing these illegal arrests. The "I was ordered to do it" defense went out with Nuremberg, and deporting a child citizen, is clearly something any officer would know was wrong. Maybe they will find some morality if it costs.

Then, in 4 years, when Justice is Justice again, the statute of limitations will not have run on kidnapping. And if we get an Attorney General with balls, some of these people can be held criminally liable.

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Trump would sneer at this as woke and DEI and smash it if he could.

Avelo Airlines has agreed to use its planes to transport ‘prisoners through a contract with ICE, stating that the revenue potential is too valuable to pass up! This is the first time a retail airline has agreed to participate in these unconstitutional and inhumane activities. Boycott anyone?

The Trump administration has deported a 2-year old U.S. citizen to one of the most violent countries in the world. Why does the House Republican majority continue to enable this disgusting, unchristian-like behavior? These people are unfit to govern.

If anyone out there was undecided on whether Trump is operationalizing a precise, coordinated plan to destroy our democracy so he can rule until he dies, the move to shut down Act Blue, the primary way Democrats’ campaigns are funded, should be the final proof point.

The letters from members of Congress to the law firms are each 11 pages. The link below has all of them. Not really raised is the question of whether EVERY client will have to sign a waiver of conflict before the law firms can ethically represent anyone ("favored by Trump" is extremely broad.)

See the attached letters (at link below) from 14 House Democrats to the Capitulating Law Firms. The letters are truly extraordinary and should cause the firms to re-think their surrender, notify their malpractice insurers, and hire criminal defense counsel.

In February 1970, President Nixon sent to Congress a message “on environmental quality.” “We have too casually and too long abused our natural environment,”. . . “The time has come when we can wait no longer to repair the damage already done, and to establish new criteria to guide us in the future.”

With our democracy and rule of law under attack, leaders need to think creatively about their roles and levers of power to mount a defense.

8️⃣ days until the nationwide mobilizations on May Day. While Trump and his billionaire profiteers try to create a race to the bottom on wages, benefits, and dignity itself, we are fighting back for a future that works for working families. Find a May Day event near you or start one. 👇

Trump and the GOP are pushing a tax scam that gives billionaires massive breaks and sticks everyday Americans with the cost. If you're represented by a Republican, tell them to stop putting billionaires first and start fighting for the families they were elected to serve: indivisible.org/reso...

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13. I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.

Rally 4/199/25 in Hillsdale,NJ. Maybe 150 of us came out. In Bergen County,33rd wealthiest in US. Hillsdale voted Trump in 2016, Biden in 2020 by 498 votes, Harris in 2024 by 72 votes (3185 to 3113). 4 Trump supporters came to hassle us. But they left when ignored. Too lazy to stay!

Bullies back down when confronted. The Harvard case ("oh, that was a clerical mistake, we didn't mean you, Harvard") is a prime example. The more people learn, the more they hate the policies of this attempted monarchy. Where are you protesting today?

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.
