It’s been 27 days since ICE sent Andry (the make-up artist with “mom” & “dad” tattoos that ICE claimed were TdA tattoos) to be imprisoned in El Salvador. Thank you @repyassansari.bsky.social, @maxwellfrost.bsky.social, @robertgarcia.bsky.social, and @repdexteror.bsky.social for not forgetting him.

Frost: You want to talk about courts but the highest court in the land told Donald Trump what to do. Facilitate him coming back to the country. And guess what they did? They flipped the bird to the supreme court. That is not the rule of law

Just so we’re clear, the felon/GOP/oligarchs’ tax cut plan for the ultra wealthy will be paid by all of the rest of us! The plan is to cut our earned benefits including but not limited to Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid; & critical gov’t services e.g., SNAP, public education for children, science!
