TELSEY begins tracking price increases over the past week. Some highlights: * Abercrombie jeans: up 33% * Amazon Echo: up 38.5% * Target / Barbie doll: up 42.9%

Jackbooted thugs….

My use of “motherfucker/s” will be increasing. (If that’s a problem for you I’d urge you to unfollow,now) These motherfuckers are stomping the hell out of the Constitution. That’s un-fucking acceptable. Anyone else pissed the fuck off?

If deporting US citizen children with cancer isn’t your redline, it’s time to reassess your priorities.

Rage does not begin to describe what I am feeling.

An important message for government employees, lawyers, universities, school districts… For all of us really.

Judge says 2-year-old US citizen appears to have been deported with ‘no meaningful process’ politi.co/42TgorF

Incredible scoop! Career officials inside the Trump administration first viewed the case of Mr. Abrego like any normal case of a wrongful deportation — they began looking for ways to bring him back, as happens normally when ICE makes mistakes. Then the White House got involved, and blew it up.

It’s only going to get worse worse if we don’t stand up now.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe, vulnerable, and alone. But when we find ourselves surrounded by courageous people and brave institutions, we can more easily find courage inside ourselves. This is the beauty of solidarity.

Unbelievable! These poor kids.

Horrifying. Anyone who isn’t terrified by this is clearly not understanding what it means…

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "I'm not vouching for the man. I'm vouching for the man's rights. His constitutional rights to due process."

JUST IN: @aclu and @democracyfwd ask Boasberg to reimpose nationwide TRO on Alien Enemjes Act deportations. They also want to refile habeas corpus claims in DC for the roughly 130 men deported March 15 despite Boasberg's order to turn planes around. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

The smoking gun…

Let’s go!

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

This is a crucial moment in our history— do we stop the swift slide into full authoritarianism or do we bid adieu to our democracy?

An action we can take.

Sooner or later, we're ALL going to be Kilmar Abrego Garcia

This is what we need. Patriotic Republicans, please stand up.

Believe him when he says it.

‼️

This is what I have been watching for as the point of no return. We either take back our democracy now, or we’re not going to get another chance….

😂😂

To everyone replying “they voted for it” when we talk about immigrant rights: The Hispanic community is NOT a monolith and 53% voted for Harris. We organized, knocked on doors, and led weekly caravans for Harris-Walz. Blanket statements erase the work of a community that showed up for democracy.

Not for nothing, but how, exactly, is it legal to send people for *punishment* in a foreign prison (esp with no due process)? Were the funds being used for it appropriated for this purpose? I feel this has just become a thing no one questions

Mike Johnson just voted to cut Medicaid. Nearly 40% of his district relies on Medicaid.
