It is very good question and one I’ve been asking for months. If there is an international agreement with El Salvador for these renditions, the Trump administration is legally required under the Case-Zablocki Act to share it with Congress. To my knowledge, they have not done so.

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.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

@tracesoftexas.bsky.social I saw this photo posted on Substack today and I thought of our discourse. Apparently my feelings are felt by others.

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!! This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference. It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference. #50501movement

I have a question for the experts. How does “dismantling the FDIC” NOT cause a run on the banks? I know I feel like I should get all my savings out of the big bank before it’s no longer available to me.

This is going to kill people. I work in housing aid in Chicago. The '95 heat wave left 739 people dead in less than a week. LIHEAP has been a critical resource in preventing that from happening again.

In 1828, the "Tariff of Abominations" led to a populist uprising that put Andrew Jackson into the presidency In 1930, the Smoot-Hawley Tariff led to a populist uprising that put FDR into the presidency In 2025, Trump's tariffs will repeat history -- We the People will RISE UP

NYU canceled a planned speech by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she planned to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and cuts to US AID. This is what actual campus censorship looks like.

Abolish ICE is not an absurdity statement. ICE was created in 2003 as a response to 9/11 - we do not need it. We already established that following orders isn't an excuse.

China, Russia and India have dispatched emergency teams and supplies to earthquake-ravaged Myanmar. So have Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. The U.S., the richest country in the world and once its most generous provider of foreign aid, has sent nothing.
