Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

My new book, Autocrats vs Democrats: China, Russia, America, and the New Global Disorder, comes out in October. But every day, including today, Trump takes new steps to align the US with autocrats & against democrats. Hoping my book will not be DOA!

Pope Francis knew the enemies within: “In every religion there is always a fundamentalist group that does not want to go ahead and lives on bitter memories, on the struggles of the past, looking for more war and also sowing fear." www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

You can get no greater warning than this, 90 professors from Harvard law School warning the students in the country that we are about to lose the rule of law under Trump. “It’s very clear the strategy on the part of the administration is to pick off institutions one by one.” - Andrew Manuel Crespo

Huge respect for colleagues like Andrew Crespo (see video) and @nikobowie.bsky.social. Grateful also to President Garber for today’s courageous decision. It’s going to be a fight—but I’m damn proud to be part of an institution and a community willing to have it. edition.cnn.com/2025/04/14/p...

Here’s my not shocked at all face😒 I have been posting consistently that Congress should take action on data privacy and to eliminate the possibility of leaks and data mining for profit. I called my reps and senators. Nothing. NOTHING has been done to protect our data. apple.news/ARNgMdPi9Qfq...

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Don't let Donald's tariff stupidity distract you from talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon that put our troops in danger. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not. And we can multitask our criticisms.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.
