Dear Decent Human Beings in the Military and Law Enforcement, If you are ordered to violate the Constitution by this president, please disobey. The millions who served, suffered, and died before you deserve your courage now.

Do you know where the fighting oligarchy tour is needed the most right now? North Carolina, where they’re trying to literally steal an election that they lost after the fact and most of the legislative system is letting them 1/2

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

Very fair requests by attorneys for Abrego Garcia⬇️ Needed transparency for all the detainees unlawfully sent to El Salvador torture center. - compel government to produce written documents on agreement with El Salvador - require government officials to appear as witnesses before district court

Basically: I don’t think people understand that 36 hours from now it’s possible that America will have a formalized system for abducting enemies of the regime and stashing them in foreign gulags, indefinitely. www.thebulwark.com/p/bukele-abr...

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

NEW: DOJ doubles down on refusing to follow Judge Xinis's orders. Today's status report contains nothing new. It again fails to provide information about steps they're taking to bring Mr. Abrego back), and arguably violates her command that a declaration be made by someone with personal knowledge.

Thiel is bad news. Really evil shit. He makes Musk seem like a fairly harmless, drug-addled clown.

As we’ve warned before, the Trump administration has subjected around 80 staffers to lie detector tests. America, please understand—this is not normal.

i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

I used to select Dem primary candidates based on policy. Now I will aggressively try to destroy any Dem who says "we need to look forward not backward" and fervently support anyone who says "I will see these motherfuckers prosecuted and jailed if it's the last thing I do."

I can’t stand listening to Kelly, but it’s funny to watch the guy on Noem’s left look down at the barrel of her gun and then take a step back. 😂

And that was all before. Now, not only are the guardrails gone, they’re smashing everything up with very limited pushback.

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.
