Van Hollen: "I'm very glad that the killed of Rachel Morin has been convicted in a court of law. That is how we hold guilty people accountable ... I'm not sure why Abrego Garcia's rights should be denied based on an awful murder he had absolutely nothing to do with."

The degree to which Trump is groveling before Putin begging for his approval while Putin regularly humiliates Trump is the real pee tape, a form of egregious geopolitical spouse abuse and a sad, sick replay of Trump’s dysfunctional childhood.

We do not have to take Trump’s bait on DEI, because they do not care about some policies being “problematic.” They are disengenously using DEI to target civil rights protections, DEI is a prextext, and it is not reasonable to concede they have a point when it only helps their reactionary push.

Got a lovely comrade card from @ladyofsardines.bsky.social, who uplifts a sentiment @prisonculture.bsky.social often shares—that we should constantly strive to reduce the gap between our values and our actions. This is such an important call to action in these times.

I was alive and an adult during the Contract With America which some of us called the Contract On America. It was a gimmick but it worked. House Dems could create something similar: Be super clear about what would happen if there are elections and they win back the House starting DAY ONE.

If Dem politicians had really believed he was a fascist, why didn't they have a plan in place after inauguration that wasn't lay down & play dead? ALSO you all were alive when they were LEAKING to the press that Indivisible, Move On, and the groups could kick rocks. www.axios.com/2025/02/12/d...

We've all been watching the same bullshit. It's regular people and the groups that have been carrying the fight. The vast majority of Dem electeds in DC are FOLLOWERS. They FOLLOW the people.

Each of them could turn their townhalls into small d democratic people's assemblies where people deliberate on a list of immediate actions that can be taken if they win the House. USE THIS TIME NOW to do this. Invite constituents to weigh in. Capture all feedback and come up with a list of 5 things.

Good job, Trump Admin. It takes “real men” to cut off aid to starving babies from the richest nation on the planet. Thanks for “protecting women.” I’m sure Jesus would be proud of your remarkable acts of charity. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/w...

I’m glad SCOTUS stepped in & stopped that plane from taking off. Deporting folks with no record & no due process isn’t justice—it’s cruelty. Meanwhile, the Republicans follow a convicted felon like he’s the Second Coming. You can’t scream “law & order” while breaking the law at every turn.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

This framing of "dependence" is fucking propaganda. The whole point of the federal government is to build and maintain national institutions that promote public health, education, scientific advancement, etc. The implication here is that those functions are a matter of private not public concern.

🚨URGENT—Despite the Supreme Court declaring that it would be illegal to deport people under the Alien Enemies Act without giving them a meaningful chance to seek judicial review, the Trump admin is reportedly about to send a group of Venezuelans detained in Texas to El Salvador in a matter of hours!

The thing that’s very important to remember about American conservatives and any other sort of fascist is that anytime they posit some value or principle or positive outcome, they are lying. Every time they talk about stealing and enslaving and murdering and terrorizing, they are telling the truth.

Brainworms: investors are watching that hairdresser's case to see just how much Democrats are willing to fight for the rule of law and due process. Guess what, if those aren't guaranteed, then WHY SHOULD ANYONE EVER INVEST IN THE US AGAIN? There is no "culture" vs "economy" dichotomy here.
