Never Forget ‼️

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov

I'm not saying that New Yorkers are weak-kneed cowards, but I am saying that Massachusetts has set the national example for how to treat tyrants since 1775.

The court system is a coequal branch of government. If the administration isn’t going to follow their orders it’s time to hold some senior officials in contempt.

we were teenagers waiting for parents to come home from their naturalization interview as nerds in AP course we buzzed our parents with Trivial Pursuit questions (“where did Lee surrender at the end of the Civil War?”) & wished we could play I can’t imagine if Mom & Dad never came back home

Sanders: A woman is walking down the street, a car stops, and these guys — in plain clothes and masks — grab her, throw her into the car, and take off. That happened in Vermont today. That’s the kind of thing that happens in dictatorships, not in a democracy.

So we had an earthquake today, and something amazing happened…

I’m not afraid of Bukele or any one of these Republican sock puppets holding Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. If I were in Congress right now, I’d show up with Senator Van Hollen to El Salvador to see for myself if Mr. Garcia is still alive! It’s time for Congress to DEMAND answers!!!!!

More of this please

If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next? This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.

They don’t care. They don’t care that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring an innocent man home to his family. They don’t care. They think it’s funny.

Sanders: He now wants to take away CBS’s license because they did a story that criticized him. Oh my word, CBS criticized him! Oh, let’s drive them out of business, how terrible… If you can’t take criticism, get out of the political process. This is a democracy

Rising number of statements from congressional Democrats to Kilmar Abrego Garcia case Rep Maxwell Frost (D-FL): “This is government-funded kidnapping, plain and simple. No one is safe in Trump’s America; let that sink in”

Hold Marco Rubio in contempt and then see whether the administration can figure out how to comply with a court order.

Good for Harvard

No one flopped harder at pretending to be an “alpha male” than JD Vance. Every move is forced, awkward, and painfully try-hard. Zero delivery.

The refusal to provide people due process before shipping them off to foreign prisons is criminal and intolerable. It must not be normalized. Everyone who believes in justice and America needs to speak up now.

You don't get to deport whoever you want, wherever you want, whenever you want. That shit is not gonna fly.

Well- it has happened. Today we have crossed the Rubicon

On Friday, Judge Hollander asked SSA Administrator Dudek to appear at a hearing on April 15. (Left) Tonight, the Trump administration says it will decline to make him available (right) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

Make sense of this mess: We’re shunning skilled immigrants —while dumbing down schools by banning books & defunding education. And the grand plan for the workplace is a bro-club of white men hoarding power. So when does “greatness” kick in? Because all I’m seeing is regression wrapped in a flag.

The constitutional crisis is here. The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador. youtu.be/HGTIELDTHOo?...

First they came for the innocent man deported to a Salvadoran gulag on an “administrative error” they falsely claim they’re powerless to reverse, flouting court orders even from the Supreme Court — and I spoke out, because I know how the damn poem ends.

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.

A 14-year-old American boy and his two friends were gunned down by Israeli soldiers Sunday night. Their largely American village in the West Bank is wondering why Trump and the U.S. government have said so little about the killing of one of its citizens.

Another great name for a hummingbird: Golden-bellied Starfrontlet that I saw at Chingaza National Park, Colombia #birds #hummingbirds #nature 🌿

AOC: I was watching earlier today on TV, someone was saying, “Why are AOC and Bernie going to Idaho?” I’ll give you one simple answer: It’s because you matter

Columbia fumbled the ball big time. Cowardice gets you nowhere.

AOC: Only 2% of people on Medicaid are able-bodied.. I saw Mike Johnson saying we have to stop all the able-bodied men from being on Medicaid — as if it’s a crime for someone to have healthcare in America. Healthcare is a human right, and everyone should have it.

He almost put enough gold stuff in the White House to make it look like the Kremlin. Not quite, but he’ll get there.

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

@Rep.YoungKim, @RepYoungKm @YoungKim This is how it is done! CA-40 voters & constituents deserve & demand better!

Letter from Dem Senator Chris Van Hollen (MD) requesting a meeting with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele To discuss MD father Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return "If Kilmar is not home by midweek – I plan to travel to El Salvador this week to check on his condition and discuss his release."

This is exactly what Democrats should be doing!! You’ve got power and status so leverage it. More of this!!!!

It’s the evil laugh at the end for us 😕
