Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

People out there, please repost this. This is the person running for Sheila Jackson Lee's spot in Congress. Want to learn more-- www.isaiahmartin.org

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos. Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

The Trump regime is stepping up its campaign against free speech. This weekend ICE arrested a Palestinian who was in the U.S. on a valid green card. His “crime”: leading protests at Columbia University against Israeli military action in Gaza.

Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.

Might save a life.

Reminder: Amazon Blackout—starting tomorrow. Amazon ❌, Whole Foods ❌ off the to-do list!

Senator Slotkin offered a compelling, patriotic response last night to Trump’s ongoing betrayal of the country. Please share widely thru your networks & join the Hopium community into channeling our love of country into concrete action to counter Trump 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/senator-sl...

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Sign of the day…

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

ATTN HHS EMPLOYEES: Firing notices are going out. I am in receipt of an email saying they will revoke your access as soon as you read the email that you've been fired. Please download everything you need before you open that email. SHARE FAR & WIDE. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/attn-hhs-e...

BREAKING: Ranking Member Raskin demands Attorney General Bondi halt illegal intimidation campaign targeting the DOJ’s Public Integrity Office.

👀 "If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me." -- AUSA Hagan Scotten, SDNY.

Now read Sassoon's blistering Feb. 12 letter to Attorney General Bondi. "Although Mr. Bove disclaimed any intention to exchange leniency in this case for Adams's assistance in enforcing federal law, that is the nature of the bargain laid bare in Mr. Bove's memo." static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

We need to be clear that Trump and Musk are not reducing the size of the US government, or making it more efficient. They are destroying it. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Donald Trump’s press conference today was one of the most disgraceful moments in U.S. history, signaling a complete surrender to Vladimir Putin.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

The DOJ is now a criminal operation

Freeland: Our retaliation is going to be a lot more surgical than that. We are going to go after American stakeholders who matter to The White House. I have proposed a 100% tariff on all Teslas. I am calling on all the countries that are affected by this tariff to join us

1/ The medical community is fighting back! In the Doctors for America lawsuit in DC, a judge has just ordered that at least for now, HHS, CDC, & FDA must restore public health webpages taken down. by midnight tonight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Wasn’t it just a week ago that we were supposed to get a 30-day pause? And now, suddenly, he’s focused on steel and aluminum imports? No one in Canada is surprised. Did anyone actually believe this guy? That his word meant anything? He’s a criminal.

It's Black History Month! Every day for Black History Month, I'm highlighting one of my favorite Black writers or authors. Today I'm highlighting a personal hero of mine: Angela Davis. Not only is she on the shortlist of smartest people alive, she's also a prolific defender of the marginalized.

The ASL version of “Not Like Us” is magnificent.

Instead of saying "I didn't understand the halftime show, therefore it is bad art" maybe try and understand why you didn't get it and think critically about the presentation, symbolism, etc. This is part of the beauty of art and creativity.

As we start another week, my law firm is litigating 46 voting and election cases in 19 states. A team starts trial to protect the Voting Rights Act in Alabama tomorrow! Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of democracy and democracy is on the docket.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

BREAKING: we have secured an order that BLOCKS the government from releasing the names of the 6000 FBI agents being illegally targeted by Trump & Bondi for their lawful work on the January 6 cases! A big win by @sddaction.bsky.social & our incredible partners for rule of law & the FBI

THIS IS IT. The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses! Mark your calendars! Show up!

“I told you if you hold on to clothes long enough they come back in fashion” From the new Private Eye, out now.

Donold’s supporters don’t care if they lose their jobs or their freedom as long as he is performatively ‘owning the libs.’ That’s how much they have been taught to hate you.

During my former life, I accepted being shot at, dodging IEDs and the occasional rocket…Let me tell you, waking up to yet another Fork in the Road email knowing it originated from a 19-y/o incel at the behest of an oligarch has me enraged like never before.

Green: I rise to announce that I will bring articles of impeachment against the president for dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done.

Almost two weeks ago, I found out I was one of 40 people getting laid off from NBC News. Those who know me know I’ve wanted to go independent for a long time. Later this month, I’m launching @spitfirenews.com. We need journalism that is louder than ever. spitfirenews.com/p/an-introdu...

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Wyden: "Tell Elon Musk to take his hands off your money!"

Elon Musk and DOGE have been sued. Here's my interview with Norm Eisen, who filed the lawsuit:

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:
