Never forget.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

🚨Attention Members of the DC Bar🚨 Ballots went out today for key positions in the DC bar. Please vote for: Diane Seltzer for President Amanda Molina for Treasurer Note: Seltzer is running against Pam Bondi's brother. Get your ballot and vote ASAP.

Here is “the full version Mr. Abrego's time in the US, using court documents to explain the allegations of gang membership and what actually happened in his case.” h/t Aaron Reichlin-Melnik on Twitter

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Stephen Miller continues to lie with impunity, saying that Kilmer Abrego Garcia is a part of MS-13 “which rapes little girls” even though he has no criminal record whatsoever. You know who does have a record of committing rape? Stephen Miller’s boss. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Ironic, isn’t it?

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.

This right here.

Talk of disappearing anyone into gulags in El Salvador is an affront to our Constitution. We need a few Republicans members to find the spine to join House Democrats in impeachment proceedings against the Fascist-in-Chief.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Folks who are citizens of other countries and are considering travel to the United States for a vacation or work or whatever: I strongly advise against it. You will not have protection from the illegal actions of this administration. It's not worth it. Don't roll the dice by traveling here.

I'll say it again: in a country where due process is individually denied and then broadly eroded and eventually eliminated, being a citizen will not protect you from the terror of this administration.

What we saw today was two jumped up thugs and their bootlicking sychophants laughing at the US Constitution, the supreme court, and the idea that anyone can stop them from doing anything they want www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Gross.

Seems so simple.

This!!!

HE IS PROMISING TO SEND AMERICANS TO FOREIGN DEATH CAMPS. This is it. This is where America ends.

Trump is defying a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling against him. The Constitutional Crisis is no longer some abstract idea, it's right here staring us in the face.

Trump is talking about shuttering publications and networks he disagrees with. He's talking about deporting and imprisoning Americans who dissent. This is unprecedented and undemocratic. Wake up America.

If Democratic congressional leadership don’t lead an en masse halt to all legislative business after today, I don’t know why they’re worth supporting. What moment could more demand a response of intractable and tedious opposition? Shut it all down, and refuse to budge.

Reminder that Trump: -outsourced his own manufacturing to Mexico/China -hired undocumented workers in 2 different centuries -won’t go after Americans who hire undocumented ppl -is himself an 'illegal' via edu fraud & felony convictions ...so believing what he says on immigration is actually dumb.
