what did you do this weekend @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ?! how about you @schumer.senate.gov? cc @jayapal.house.gov @maxwellfrost.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬: The Trump administration wrongfully deported a father, sheet metal apprentice, and Maryland resident to El Salvador. They admitted to this “administrative error” and the Supreme Court unanimously demanded they fix it.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG @vanhollen.senate.gov. Also THANK YOU.

'When I was working I never had to face the ICE thuggery my colleagues face today, but it would have been unthinkable to me or people around me to cooperate in detention of our students, their families. I hope it still is.' @jeffwaid.bsky.social answerkeysurvivalguide.blogspot.com/2025/04/cbs-...

For now, Mahmoud Khalil remains a political prisoner in the United States. If the Trump administration succeeds in deporting him, it will have achieved a significant expansion of executive power at the expense of free expression and due process.

You can complain about the Supreme Court giving criminal immunity to the president (and I certainly have), but we should also be appalled that TV networks give Trump a different type of immunity: They broadcast his lies every day without pushback. It's lousy, fascist-enabling "journalism."

I’m headed to Rochester to get an update on Mayo Clinic’s multi-billion dollar expansion. We’re ushering in the next generation of health care innovation - and creating union construction jobs along the way.

She has been fighting and trying to warn people for years!! I just wish people would wake up! They stupidly think “oh this won’t happen in our country” or “someone will stop them”. Well they stacked the decks and there is no GOOD, DECENT, REPUBLICAN out there anymore. There is no one to stop them.

If you’re in a position to stand up to Trump today, try not to be a pussy.

What a turn out in Plattsburgh! Special election or not, we are showing the North Country a new type of politics—one that puts the people of our district first.

The reason the Trump administration won't bring Abrego Garcia back is the publicity that will ensue. He'll be on every news program detailing his abduction and incarceration in one of the world's cruelest prisons. They're backed into a corner. His life is at risk.

This Saturday, 4/19 in Ontario supporting unions and our federal workers!

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

THIS is what what our Congresspeople should be doing. Be sure to RSVP at the link below.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

Arrest them.

These are two American heroes fighting to save free and fair elections in the United States. Hope you will watch and support their organizations. And subscribe to Lincoln Square so we can keep bringing the important voices of the day.

the fact that there are many details in the report that are just observably false is a good reason news organizations could, if they wanted to, deny it the presumption of proof and cover the president's health as if it's a scandalous question

Thank you to Congressman Robert Garcia for hosting today’s Democratic Party Town Hall for California's 40th District. It was a pleasure connecting with so many passionate and engaged constituents. #PaulaSwiftForCongress

A total of zero votes were cast for the guy currently running America.

You 💙 to see it.

Join your local protest on April 19th. Spread the word.

HUGE turnout for AOC & Bernie in Salt Lake City. Here’s the views inside the arena & the 5000 people outside in the overflow. Utah is turning out 👏 #FightingOligarchy #Resist (📸 Anna Bahr)

AOC: That is the story that Republicans tell—not mine, but all of ours—when they say a waitress or a working person is unqualified to serve in Congress. But the truth is, many of us are far more qualified to understand what real life is actually like than any of them ever will be.

The Democrats have a candidate in CA-40 to run against Republican incumbent Young Kim in 2026! @cookpolitical.com ranks this race as only LEAN REPUBLICAN, which means it is easily in reach of flipping blue! If anyone in Mission Viejo can attend the meeting, please let me know your impressions.

I hate to be that guy, but this is the five-alarm fire, and every elected Democrat and frankly, every Washington reporter should be ringing the bell. If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone. Nobody with a voice should give this administration a moment’s peace about it.

Here is how WaPo handled Dem's 10-day long effort to count every vote in PA vs. GOP's 5-month long effort to throw out thousands of votes in NC. Support independent, pro-democracy media.

Thank you for bringing sweetness into our homes.
