Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov (D-MD) is heading to El Salvador to talk about the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. “Bullies begin by picking at the most vulnerable but if we get rid of the rule of law in the U.S., it’s a short road from there to tyranny.” This is how you fight back dictators!

#BoycottElSalvador #TakeItToTheStreets on Saturday for another nationwide protest. Five million Americans protested April 5. Can we make it 10 million on Saturday?

If you are an American, and you haven't been to a protest against Trump yet, please just show up this Saturday, April 19th. Find the nearest one to you, and just show up. Look at that 84 year old Bernie Sanders, working his ass off for you. How on earth can you justify not even showing up? #resist

Reminder that "deportation" is a legal process. If that process isn't followed, then it's not deportation. It is abduction and it's unconstitutional.

#DemVoice1 #ProudBlue This is really getting out of control. Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian and permanent U.S. resident who has had a green card for 10 years, was detained by immigration 1/6 www.forbes.com/sites/mollyb...

Good morning, friends. Take a break from doom-scrolling this weekend. Unplug, step outside, and connect with those who bring you joy. Rest is resistance. 💚

If immigrants who enter the US legally, commit no crimes, and comply with their court hearings can have their status revoked for no reason or be abducted by ICE, where is the incentive for immigrants to come here via legal processes? At this point, it may be more of a liability to be documented.

Here are two straightforward and incontrovertible statements of law about Mahmoud Khalil: 1) Khalil is a political prisoner of the United States 2) Khallil is a "prisoner of conscience" as defined by Amnesty International We need to say these things, and the world needs to hear them

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

🆘🆘🆘 Help! What can we do? A friend from Cuba is in the US on political asylum. She has a court hearing coming up regarding immigration. Her mother, who just got into the US a few months ago, received a letter advising her to self deport.

This is the Commander-in-Chief? Trump accidentally calls the wrong McMaster, then yells at him—and we’re supposed to trust him with our national security and the lives of our Troops? This isn’t leadership. It’s a liability. MORE: www.cbsnews.com/news/h-r-mcm...

Nationwide injunctions are temporary pauses on executive actions so courts can determine what the law is per the Constitution. The GOP is aiding Trump's efforts to kneecap the judiciary branch– the last check on his thirst for complete power. This bill is an attack on our Constitution.

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off. We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos
