How does democracy die? See below, but also when the people become silent- fear and intimidation is what the opposition uses to silence people we cannot let that happen. Our country is too precious to let it disappear. #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

Let me get this straight... Republican congressmen are allowed to take vanity tours in CECOT prison in El Salvador, but Senator Chris Van Hollen is denied entry to check on the welfare of his wrongly imprisoned constituent?

Project 2025?

Precisely! Thank you, #JudgeBoasberg for standing strong and up for the oath you swore to when you became a judge! #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

And “shocking abuses of power” are what, folks? Say it with me: “Impeachable offenses”

FYI Be careful out there! 🤨🤨

The wheels of justice are often square and sometimes they roll back and sometimes they go forward. Today they’re moving forward. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

The game is no longer to PROTECT democracy. The game now is to hopefully RESTORE democracy.

Only the best!!!!

🚨BREAKING: Judge finds flying migrants to El Salvador after orders not to "demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt." Visit www.democracydocket.com for full details and analysis.

Yes, Russia is among us.

one thing i saw someone point out recently is that alongside a provision to appoint a prosecutor, judges are also empowered to essentially deputize their own marshals

Judge Boasberg ruled there's "probable cause" to find the Trump administration in criminal contempt of court for violating his order to immediately pause deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. If the legal branch refuses to stop Trump, democracy is dead. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

This is the group who got Roe overturned. The reason 10 year old rape victims have to flee state. The reason women sit in car parks until they are close enough to death.

If the judge is looking for an attorney to prosecute the Trump administration for contempt of court... 🙋‍♂️

Reupping this piece I wrote a couple of weeks ago about what happens when a judge makes a contempt finding & refers it to fed’l prosecutors, but they decline to prosecute the case. joycevance.substack.com/p/contempt-b11

Please Canada make sure to get out and vote! We don’t want Little PP and his extreme right wing agenda with ties to Project 2025 as our Prime Minister! Take a look south of the border and see what’s happening! Little PP will bow down to Trump! #MarkCarney4PM #NeverPierrePoilievre #USDemocracy

Health care, housing, and our kids' education — that's what the Trump Administration is cutting to pay for Elon Musk's tax breaks. We're fighting this in the courts, in Congress, and in our communities. bit.ly/3YqsfMz

A strong majority of US voters and 𝘮𝘢𝘫𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 believe immigrants with green cards & visas have the right to: - be informed of the charges against them 81% - the right to a fair trial 77% - the right to present a defense 75% - the right to appeal a court decision 69%

Spam the state bar associations with complaints about their unethical lawyers and call out their board members by name when they do nothing. We saw SCROTUS members lie under oath and take gifts. Start with them and Bondi and Rubio. Then call their law schools and ask why they produced garbage.

Stock markets down badly today on the shocking revelation from Jerome Powell that tariffs might be bad for the US economy

PAYING THE GOVERNMENT OF EL SALVADOR TO KEEP HIM AT CECOT

Speaking now from El Salvador, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) says he was denied access to Kilmar Abrego Garcia by El Salvador leaders. And was denied a phone call to him Van Hollen: "The Trump Administration is lying about Abrego Garcia"

The DHS spokesperson is now alleging that Mr. Abrego Garcia was arrested with "rolls of cash and drugs" and was "wearing what is effectively an MS-13 uniform" (Chicago Bulls gear). But: 1) He was arrested for loitering and not charged for anything 2) PGPD previously said they had no incident report

Back in January, I reported on DOGE entering an agency system, exporting the data, OPM server info left open to the public, and someone signing in from a foreign country using a DOGE account. Almost identical to what the Whistleblower reported to NPR this week www.muellershewrote.com/p/a-fork-in-...

Love this yogurt brand even more! ☕✊😋

AMEN 👏🏻

@pressley.house.gov rose on the House floor in opposition to FOTUS’ hostile attacks on Black history. The #CupOfJoe that she’s serving is full of Black brilliance.

“We’re in a world of tremendous uncertainty,” she said Monday on Bloomberg Television.

“Axios founder Jim VandeHei reminded the panel on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that the president has a lot on his plate right now with problems of his own making.” And don’t believe network polls. The real polls are Town Halls, like Sen Grassley’s #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue 👇🏼 www.rawstory.com/trump-tariff...

Unlike the orange felon who was convicted of 34 felonies, the man who was purposely deported to a deadly prison in El Salvador has no criminal convictions. The more you know.

I didn’t realize that tazing was an option. So the next time Republicans heckle a president at the SOTU, can we taze her? I mean them? 🙄 #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

LIVE: Joe Biden speaks in Chicago, his first major appearance since presidency

Thoughts?! 👇

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

The exhibit at the BMA starts today

I mentioned this yesterday but it bears repeating. I’ve been quite critical of many Democrats right now. Their #Resistance has been confined to awareness-level skeeting. Senator Van Hollen is Doing The Work here. Where he’s going, his status as a Senator is little protection. Sometimes people die.
