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

ICE and other members of the police state. You don't have to do this. Object to illegally detaining and deporting people.

Just like cuts to the NIH, this will destroy research in higher ed. As is the plan.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

Rep Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY): “Mr. Abrego Garcia must be returned immediately before he is killed in one of the most dangerous prisons in the world. Enough with the fake bravado. This is not America. The Supreme Court must aggressively enforce its order immediately.”

Destroying all that's good.

just got an email from unite here about contacting reps demanding Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release. He’s a sheet metal worker. Good to see labor stepping up here

We need to be like Georgia!

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

It was his last reporting before he received citizenship.

No one should be sent to El Salvador. Period.

NO ONE should be sent to El Salvador, you baby-brained losers. My God.

The ACLU is no longer posting on Twitter. They have abandoned their 1.6 million follower account and are now posting on Bluesky. bsky.app/profile/aclu...

There's a reason ICE agents wear masks in the street. From Kristi Noem's war-crime propaganda to the airport officers harassing innocent tourists, the MAGA deportation regime is not just immoral but increasingly criminal Someday, there must be justice. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

So rude. So good.

Let's all get jobs working for ICE and do, as they insist government employees do, nothing!

“Today, Cross, 62, is one of the private prison contractors helping to identify Venezuelan migrants as members of the criminal outfit Tren de Aragua – a designation that’s landing them in a Salvadoran prison without due process.”

POSSIBLY THE WORST PART OF THIS CHICKENSHIT OPPOSITION PARTY IS THAT THEY KNOW AND SAY, STRAIGHT UP, THAT THE FASCISTS BACK DOWN WHEN THEY ARE ACTUALLY CHALLENGED, BUT AFTER SAYING THAT, THEY DON'T ACTUALLY CHALLENGE THE FASCISTS

If the Save Act passes, I don't even know what.

No. You’ve been watching stock market fraud.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.  That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Um. What does it mean that for a minute I didn’t think it was a joke?

Driving in today listening to Morning Edition on @npr.org, I was struck by three stories in a row (on free speech, government employment, and immigration) that had Americans who used a pseudonym, because they were "afraid of retaliation." This is a sign of a society that is no longer free.

I am reading Careless People about Zuckerberg's descent into supporting fascism.

Full support for any member of Congress, and I mean any member, that mobilizes articles of impeachment on the entire administration immediately. This has gone too far.

In years to come, the people who did this will be the ones who will go to jail.

Trump loves to save the public from a crisis he caused but also hates showing weakness but also loves to make a deal but also loves to inflict pain, you can imagine the emotional tumult this is causing, my heart aches for him

The same damage being done to the stock market is being done to our health, securities & environment, there just isn't a stock ticker to show how bad it is for the others.

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails. Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

Another unvaccinated child has died from the measles in Texas. There are over 600 cases in the US right now. Letting children die to a completely preventable disease is absolute insanity.

#HANDSOFF #NYC 4/5/25 Great sign, Thomas! @tbjacobs.bsky.social

This!

Dear, Elon Best wishes from Wisconsin

Literally.

2,500 in a town of 100,00ish. Way to go, Flagstaff!

So proud of American Resisters today! #Handsoff

The indivisible protest in New York is at least 5x larger than they planned. They originally cordoned off the sidewalk+bus lane on 5th but they've had to close the whole street, and it's not enough.
