An LGBTQ asylum seeker from Venezuela was sent to prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration “solely because he has tattoos,” says @cargiolim.bsky.social, attorney with Immigrant Defenders Law Center. The asylum seeker has no criminal record.

Gang member, terrorist, communist: these are things you call people when you want people to accept the violation of a person’s constitutional and human rights. Trump and company decide first what they want to do to someone or a group of people and then later pick the smear.

The thing to remember is that while ICE has always been like this, ICE has not always been around. It is not even 25 years old. We don't need it. We never did.

Exactly. Those 10 Dem Senators now own DOGE. They own the misery, the economic chaos, the collapse of government services, the targeting of academia. This isn't hyperbole, it's what they voted for: more latitude for Trump/Musk. And got nothing in return. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Yes a shutdown would have consequences. And a Republican President, Republican House, and Republican Senate would be responsible. They have acted in a unilateral and unprecedented way. Democrats cannot cave. They must fight back.

the “Kubrick Stare" is one of Stanley Kubrick's most recognizable directorial techniques, a method of shot composition where a character stares at the camera with a forward tilt, to convey to the audience that the character in question is at the peak of their derangement.

👀 Frankly this is extraordinary. Beltway reporters may choose to dismiss this is a performance art but this is not normal. House/Sen Dems often have tactical differences but they never call out each other so publicly this way. Schumer has completely lost it. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Hundreds of Jews and allies detained at Trump Tower during a mass civil disobedience against the Trump admin’s unlawful detainment of Mahmoud Khalil. NYPD commandeered an NYC bus to load arrestees into for transport to 1PP. Onlookers chanted and cheered in support of arrestees.

Good on Congresswoman McBride for ignoring the asshole. Even better that Keating blew a gasket. Do not normalize these fascist fucks and their cruelty. Ever.

@mayorwu.boston.gov came to Washington to defend Boston, tell an accurate story of our vibrant and diverse city, and affirm that immigration is essential to our city's success. She did not just meet the moment—she exceeded it.
