Well, I've wandered over here from Twitter (I never called it X). I'm the same beer brewing, bee keeping, activist retiree. Just more disillusioned. Candidates come and go. The sentiment remains. #NotMeUs jimmysrant.blogspot.com

"If you can purchase US citizenship for $5 million, the “illegals” are only guilty of being poor." -Feminist News

Interesting. Two of the grievances in the Declaration of Independence condemned the Crown for denying legal protection, especially imprisonment without cause. “For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.” “For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses.”

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.

Everyone has their own priorities and no one can possibly attend to or care about every fire this regime sets. But ppl being disappeared without due process and sent to a foreign prison should fully panic everyone body and soul and I need more folks with bigger voices to start screaming about it

The courts *should* put an immediate and unequivocal halt to all use of the CECOT prison in El Salvador, with or without due process. They may not do that. But the *people* of the US still can. Don't lose of sight of this atrocity amidst the other outrages. Make this a key focus of resistance.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

If you ever wondered what you would have done in World War II when Japanese Americans were sent to concentration camps—now you know. It’s what you’re doing now.

This is what the Senate Democrats should filibuster about. These prisoners should all be brought back immediately, and given due process, immediately or released. And, for God's sake, get the guy back they admitted was sent in error!

So proud of Carbondale and southern Illinois! Despite flooding and last minute mixed messages from organizers, 400+ came out in the pouring rain to reject oligarchy and fascism. Enthusiastic and creative crowd. Loud encouragement from passing traffic. Solidarity! #HandsOff

app.sosha.ai/s/n3gllu2o You don’t have to wash your hair, do your laundry, clean your house or attend that game. Grab your wife, husband, partner, grandma, friends. Will it be raining? Tough! Rust never sleeps, fascism is without mercy, and you won’t melt. Go!

The only light in Gaza right now is from Israeli bombs. Israel has cut off electricity and water to 2.1 million Palestinians — resuming its genocidal war and pushing Gaza toward total humanitarian collapse.

🧵Masked ICE thugs attempted to abduct the school nurse at Cooke Elementary School, located in the densely populated Adams Morgan section of DC. Workers at the school intervened, demanding a warrant and holding up their phones and ICE scurried off without making their arrest.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

These are becoming normalized. They're Pinochet/Putin shit. Renditions and disappearances. Flouting the courts and due process. We're running out of time to stand up to it.
