The Trump administration is kidnapping and trying to deport American citizens who look “foreign.” No warrant. No due process. No rights. Americans voted for cheaper eggs, not for a night of broken glass. #MAGAKidnappers

This is brutal. India says Trump is lying about a trade deal and says he also lied about brokering a peace deal between India and Pakistan. We are a joke around the world. bsky.app/profile/meid...

Trump created the problem. The single reason Iran was so close to obtaining a nuclear weapon is that Trump destroyed the diplomatic agreement that put major, verifiable constraints on their nuclear program.

I just saw @padilla.senate.gov speaking on @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com visibly moved by the attacks on his own consituents. It felt real and raw. Way to take the attention focused on you and redirect it to those you serve. Damn impressive.

This is absolutely insane, and criminal. Everyone, especially a Senator representing the state, has a right to speak out. The fact that the agents felt protected in acting this way says everything. We’re quickly traversing a dangerous path

A Senator asking tough questions of the executive branch is doing his job. If that now gets you roughed up and handcuffed in the United States, it does not look much like the Republic I grew up in. Americans should be very concerned.

I think too many people think that democracy lasts till someone sends a press release saying it’s over. No. Fascism is here. It’s here and it’s not visiting. Arresting elected officials, putting the military on the streets, abducting protesters… we are living in a fascist state.

Wow. This is major news. Judges discuss moving the U.S. marshals from the executive to the judicial branch. Not only would they protect judges from trump threats, but it would also make it easier for courts to order marshals to carry out court orders.
