Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "My whole point here is if you deprive one man of his constitutional rights, you threaten the constitutional rights of everybody ... if you threaten the rule of law for one person, you threaten if for everybody in America."

Much more efficient than having them stay at one of his properties.

Great question.

World Cup and Olympics should NOT come to the USA.

The Nazis didn't just target Jews. From early on, they went after people of various ethnic groups (notably Romas) & made examples of those who were in political opposition to the regime. They targeted queer & trans & disabled people from early, too. This is a uniquely USian fascism, but it's here.

For all the nazi enablers on substack, read this.

I’m just gonna rewrite this one: “on the one hand, he’s a Maryland dad, and on the other hand, he was thrown in a gulag without due process because he’s brown.”

More than 50,000 people in Gaza are dead. 114,000 have been wounded — two-thirds of whom are women & children. The entire infrastructure has been destroyed. Much of that devastation has been done with bombs that the U.S. supplied to the Netanyahu war machine. We are complicit.

Netanyahu loves Trump's plan to force 2 million people from Gaza & turn it into a billionaires’ Riviera. He calls it "voluntary migration.” It's not voluntary if you bomb & starve those who stay. It’s ethnic cleansing. It's a war crime. No more military aid to Netanyahu.

Trump, the so-called dealmaker, now wants to delay Medicare from negotiating drug prices. Eli Lilly charges Americans $1,080 for the diabetes drug Mounjaro when the same drug can be purchased for $200 in Japan and $520 in the U.K. Is this what Trump means by America First?

No, Mr. Trump. We won't allow you to pay for tax breaks to billionaires by eliminating Head Start which provides early education to over 800,000 children and LIHEAP that keeps seniors and families warm in the winter. Your budget proposal is morally obscene. It must be defeated.

Hey, John Roberts? The White House liaison to DHS is saying that you have no understanding of law and its proper function and role.

Hundreds of protests are taking place today across the U.S. from 50501, Tesla Takedown, No Kings, Hands Off, Indivisible, etc. Make your voices heard!

NOW: Judge Boasberg has called an emergency hearing regarding the imminent movement of detainees to CECOT in El Salvador. I'm on the public line and I'll post what I can about the hearing here. 1/

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.”

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Can you help? Nathan Sage is up against Joni Ernst of Iowa. He needs followers and support.

This, and it really has to be stopped!

Hitchhiked through Paris in 2008, and all I remember about the place was a noisy, dirty, and pretty boring city of asphalt, cars, and uninviting apartments. Went back last year, and it was completely changed, you could feel a civic spirit that had seemed completely absent.

ICE Agents should never be able to hide behind “just following orders.” They are Gestapo for a dictator and it should never be forgiven nor forgotten.

💯 this!!!

I joined BlueSky almost 4 months ago to raise awareness of autism. Here are a few of my favourites. I hope I was somewhat successful. #ActuallyAutistic

What ‘should be’ done?! 👇 Whatcha thinkin’?! 🤔

This completely alarming and important NPR and Jenna McLaughlin reporting on the unfettered access DOGE has to the federal government’s computer network, cloud, credentials, security — and a possible overlap with Russian hackers — is just beyond. No guardrails. A must-read:

If anyone you know in ICE tells you they’re “just following orders” remind them of the following: - they can read - they’re aware of the SCOTUS ruling and numerous injunctions around the illegality of what they’re doing - feigning ignorance will not soften their place in history…or in America.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you. Senator Van Hollen lives this attitude – and planted hope in hopelessness. (I’m not crying, you’re crying.)

Here is a letter from NYU Law faculty opposing the Trump Administration's unlawful attacks on universities, law firms, and the rule of law. Please share widely. drive.google.com/file/d/1yysJ...

Trump, Vance, Gabbard, & their D.C. U.S. Attorney pick Ed Martin are all Russian agents. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
