UPDATE: It happened. In an 11:15 meeting, employees were told that the office has been eliminated and their positions will be terminated.

Don't let this sort of thing become normalized. No criminal record. Married with a child. Complying with immigration bureaucracy. Agents wait outside his home. Smash his window while he calls his lawyer. Take him to an undisclosed location. This is Soviet secret police stuff. youtu.be/Bnlj-wSI4Bg

I’ve been wanting to write this for a while. So I finally did.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Free Mahmoud Khalil. Free Rümeysa Öztürk. Free Mohsen Mahdawi. Free Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia. Free Juan Francisco Méndez. Free Elsy Noemi Berrios. Free the Venezuelan men. Free them all.

The very best of America’s shitposters are now outgunned by their Chinese peers. Balance of power has shifted.

Just updated this timeline to fix a typo and address an error in the last box where I'd gotten the manner of arrest wrong. I present the full version Mr. Abrego's time in the United States, using court documents to explain the allegations of gang membership and what actually happened in his case.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia Mahmoud Khalil Rümeysa Öztürk Mohsen Mahdawi ...

No criminal charges were filed against Mohsen Mahdawi And apparently the Trump administration has asserted no legal basis to deport him-other than Marco Rubio’s say so If this doesn’t scare you Remember-they’re trying to revoke birthright citizenship So they can deport ANYONE they wish

I hope its obvious to people--if they can arrest and expel folks holding a green-card, US citizens are next

I know you aren't going to want to hear this but the reason the system can deport Mahmoud Khalil and send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador is that for years we've been executing factually innocent people like Marcellus Williams and sending legally innocent people to places like Riker's Island.

Today, I went to our Social Security Office to conduct Oversight and was denied access to meet with officials. Instead, we were given a generic phone number in another state and denied entry past the waiting room. Here’s what we found out ⬇️

I am sorry to say it, but this is probably one of the most important things you can repost today.

That tracks.

I don’t think we should elect any person credibly accused of sexual harassment, assault, or abuse

“Sara was attacked with unimaginable cruelty. What’s just as painful is the silence of those who stood by,” she said. “We have a responsibility to protect the LGBTQ+ community. We cannot keep letting transphobia destroy lives.”

repost I’m not the first nor the best person to say this but if you are scared or angered by the authoritarian Trump regime’s attempts to wrest absolute power from the other branches of government, you are not alone & it’s ok to feel shitty or depressed & full of despair. 1/18

NEWS: The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reports that PRCS medic Assad Al-Nsasrah is currently being held by Israeli authorities. Assad’s whereabouts had been unknown since March 23, when Israeli forces targeted Palestinian first responders in Rafah, killing 15.

“That movie you love from 20 years ago doesn’t hold up.” Well guess what neither does your personality from 20 years ago. Maybe The AV Club should do an article about that.

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

Video shows Palestinian schoolchildren running in fear as Israeli military vehicles storm Al-Fawar refugee camp near Hebron in the occupied West Bank.

The world will only have compassion if they see this little child as an Israeli. Then they would rally their forces to protect others like her. #Genocide #freepalestine #palestine #gaza #Israel #boycottisrael #bds #GenocidalState #Children #SaveTheChildren #SaveOurChildren

Ended. Up. Ended. Up. endedup

Gaza Tonight Inferno Annihilation Holocaust Genocide All in one 👇

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

This White House is a threat to our most basic rights. This is unacceptable. Mahmoud Khalil should be home with his wife awaiting the birth of their son, not criminalized for free speech and threatened with deportation. Our destinies are tied. We need to raise our voices now.

I pray you’ll read my latest. We are being challenged as a nation and this is a test we must pass. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

you'll never be rid of him

This is so beautiful.

I spoke to another person this week—also a US-born citizen—who showed me the DHS email she received informing her that she had to leave the country. Incompetent, evil or both?

Read Mahmoud Khalil's words at the end of today's hearing:

Jesus Christ this headline and subtitle

I'd bet most Americans don't realize the six Nazi extermination camps during World War II also involved rendition to a foreign country. Auschwitz, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, Chełmno and Majdanek were all located in Poland. Not Germany. Important historical fact.

Fuck Yeah!!!! This looks awesome!!!!!!

It all comes out in the end.

Nikki created this reformatted version of "Some Actions that Are Not Protesting or Voting" and it looks great. Feel free to share. Thanks Nikki. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

NEW from me: I wrote about the utter fucking insanity of a pro-Israel group accusing Ms Rachel, the singer of “Icky Sticky Bubble Gum” and “Hop Little Bunnies,” of being a pro-Hamas propagandist www.thecut.com/article/ms-r...
