oh hey welcome to your trial, blackshirts

Don’t trauma dumb America’s issues to your Black friends /acquaintances

As a person who has studied history, an autism registry is a five alarm fire.

It gets worse. DOJ cites to the SCOTUS order, quoting the court as holding that the government should “take all available steps to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia...” The problem? SCOTUS never said that! The quote is actually from Judge Xinis’s amended order following the SCOTUS decision.

Left unchallenged, Donald Trump’s unlawful actions would have grave consequences for Michigan and, as Attorney General, it is my responsibility to defend the rights of our residents and uphold the rule of law. www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2...

Transparency, accessibility, and accountability are values that have guided my work in Congress since day one. This Thursday in DeKalb County, I’m hosting another town hall to update you on what’s going on in Washington. RSVP here to attend! www.eventbrite.com/e/rep-underw...

Here is a breakdown of Bernie Sanders' demographic 👇🏽

Re: "Woke." The GOP stole a word from Black American culture that had it's own sociolinguistic trajectory, wrapped up all socially progressive ideas w/in that word, attached the word to academic verbiage about these same ideas, & then proceeded to use the word like a multi-purpose voodoo doll.

this piece really cuts to the core of it: “they shunned you because you're an asshole” every TERF makes hatred of trans people their one and only cause in life, subsuming even casual hobbies, and it’s just a mean and miserable way to live that nobody wants to spend time around

Well played

update: that Francis did this and then followed it up with a super quick brush-off meeting and immediately died elevates it even further as a piece of performance art what a way to go out

Now it’s Wendy Brito. New Orleans mother taken by ICE. Wife, mother, school volunteer. Legal resident. No charges. No criminal record. No explanation. Routine ICE check-in & she never came home. 3 weeks detained. No reason given. No answers. This is not due process. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

"menstrual cycle classes"

“The only way Trump wins the argument is if he can subsume all these specifics—deporting longtime nonviolent residents, flouting courts, conspiring with fellow dictators to stash people in foreign gulags—under the rubric of fighting ‘illegal aliens.’l

if they need help fixing the supply chain they broke, they should call Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Pete Buttigieg. they have experience fixing the dumb fucking messes.

This is why it makes NO SENSE to talk about "the country" voted for x, y, or z.

If your senator is breaking filibuster records, flying to El Salvador in defense of their constituents, or putting holds on every damned Trump nominee, celebrate them now. Show them they have support. If your senator isn't doing any of that - ask them why not.

Trump is breaking the law. How is that not in the headline?

This is happening at the Bluebonnet detention center in Anson, TX and appears to be in DIRECT VIOLATION of the Supreme Court's ruling requiring notice "afforded within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief." It's been <24 hours.

18 April 1895 | A Jewish woman, Maria Olga Weinberger, was born in Chust / Huszt. A pharmacist. In May 1944 she was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.

the fundamental problem with these people (not jonathan) is that they don’t seem to believe in anything. if you’re willing to sacrifice one of the foundational rights of constitutional government on the altar of “buh this might not be popular” then what won’t you sacrifice?

I'm thinking about how tonight was probably the first time Kilmar Abrego Garcia learned that millions of people care about him - the first time he learned that the United States Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring him home. I'm thinking what it must mean for him to know, right now, that he isn't alone.

Yesterday, AIDS activist pallbearers delivered a mountain of coffins to Marco Rubio’s door at the State Department demanding a full reinstatement of PEPFAR, the federal program which had been keeping 20 million people with HIV around the world alive and healthy.

Computer chip manufacturing is coming back to the US as tariffs threaten global supply chains. America's first generation of semiconductor factories exposed employees to toxic substances, and workers never got answers about kids born with birth defects. Read more: www.theverge.com/features/611...

Moreover, what about the gay hair-dresser? Aren't there NUMEROUS cases of clearly innocent people being deported to El Salvador? Why does the media insist on treating each of these cases separately? Is it to make it easier on the Trump Admin to spout bullshit? This is a 5 alarm fire.

Additionally: The idea that there are political consequences to focussing on the men sent to El Salvador arose whole-cloth from social media. Left-center social media users' prediliction towards contrarianism is a scourage. Every piece of concrete evidence points towards the public paying attention.

With these posts, they’ve made it essentially inarguable that they’re deliberately defying the Supreme Court.

An essential reform after we overthrow the fascists is complete reformation of the immigration judicial system into something that's governed by law and reason.

Senator Van Hollen is a hero.

Protestor with a “Jail 4 Insider Traders” sign removed from Marjorie Taylor Greene town hall

We were just denied entry into CECOT — the notorious prison in El Salvador where Mr. Abrego Garcia is being illegally held. We were there for one simple reason: to check on his well-being, which his family and lawyers have not been allowed to do. We won’t stop fighting.

🚨NEW: Soldiers prevent Senator Chris van Hollen from visiting Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Hollen & the Garcia family attorney were pulled over, after the military were ordered to stop them, 3km from CECOT. NO-ONE is able to verify if Garcia is still alive and, if he is, what condition he is in.

You fucking idiots had the chance to send this asshole to Rikers in November and you blew it because you want to teach the Democrats a lesson.

A reminder that Democratic Attorney Generals have been holding town halls across the country. Tonight’s discussing their ongoing lawsuits against Trump. 👇 dems.ag/tonight-tune...

Chief Judge Boasberg's probable cause ruling is *not* an appealable order. DOJ can ask the D.C. Circuit for an extraordinary writ of mandamus, but that requires showing that the district court ruling both (1) was clearly wrong; and (2) is not otherwise capable of being remedied on a future appeal.
