Andry Hernandez Romero, the Venezuelan makeup artist sent to a notorious Salvadoran prison, claimed asylum in the US because he was persecuted as a gay man. Chris Van Hollen met in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Andry lived in San Diego—why hasn’t Alex Padilla or Adam Schiff met with him? 🤨

This keeps happening! None of us are truly safe.

I went to the craft store this morning to get posterboard for my protest sign, and noticed that someone had done some appropriate letter arranging. Good to see even small signs of resistance.

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

Want to make 3 court filings available given focus on Abrego Garcia. 1) Here's the first Immigration Judge's ruling that KAG posed a risk, which Pam Bondi falsely claimed amounted to a ruling he's a MS-13 terrorist. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

In Nazi Germany, the targeted population was encouraged to self-deport and the state sought to impoverish them to force them to leave.

You can tell who the Good Guys are because they're the ones smashing a car window to drag a mother away from her child while wearing ski masks.

NO TO THIS!! NO TO THIS!! #MomSky 🗣️

Is this who we are? 😳🇺🇸

@cnn.com No mention of the @5Million Americans who protested Saturday in #CNN ‘s online 5 Things to Know to Start your Day today. Instead they showcase the Minecraft movie. Yes, they did an article on Saturday but, c’mon, this is democracy in action and worth at least a mention today.

Where is our humanity?

@cnn.com @msnbc.com WHY THE HELL isn’t the headline MASS protests across the country? Are you compromised?

HEY Greater Orange County! It’s almost the weekend, and THIS IS THE BIG ONE. April 5 is the NATIONAL Hands Off Day of Action. You’ll find us at Sasscer Park in Santa Ana, where we’re anticipating 3000+ to attend. Join us!!! #3E #HandsOff #NoKings #USProtests #OrangeCountyCA

Time interviews Philip Holsinger, photojournalist and writer who was invited to witness the arrival of US prisoners to El Salvador: the following images are a cold display of authoritarianism and cruelty of both the US and El Salvador.

The people united will never be DIVIDED!! #50501 Irvine!! #MomSky

Trump must fall!! Trump must fall!! We the people make the CALL!! #MomSky

This should be a KEY element to Democratic Party reform!

Another weird…and dumb…Week

The good news is that there *are* people meeting the moment. youtu.be/EJxRtjma7lc

Thank you Jon Bon Jovi #USDemocracy

🚨 IMPORTANT: In-person absentee voting starts TOMORROW here in Wisconsin. Election Day is April 1. 🚨 The balance of power in our Supreme Court is at stake. 🚨The despicable Elon Musk and his anti-American Orcs are trying to buy our Court here. 🚨 DO NOT LET THEM. 🚨 Support Judge Susan Crawford!

US protestors waved the largest Ukrainian flag in the world in D.C. #3E #USprotests #EndImpunity

#GVerse We the gd people! This is how we speak up!👇

March 14th at noon there will be marches at all state capitols for Veterans.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Never forget that House Republicans voted to give the richest 1%, a huge tax break at the expense of the rest of us. Want to know how this could impact the people in your Congressional district? Go here: 1/2

In George Washington’s Farewell Address in 1796 he warned of those who would usurp power and rule through executive orders: “Disorders and miseries which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual…(who) turns this disposition to…🧵

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Pope Francis’ letter to U.S. Bishops is incedibly powerful. This stands out to me especially. Every purported Christian faith leader who has endorsed or stood silent before Trump’s ugly immigration policies needs to be confronted with this statement. www.vatican.va/content/fran...

Nearly every atheist I know has a stronger moral compass than MAGA "Christians."

If you're not in the DC area, you should be organizing where you are. But if you are in the DC area, I think you're going to want to come to the Treasury building today at 5pm. It will be newsworthy. www.mobilize.us/moveon/event...
