There isn't a psychologist on the face of this earth who could unravel all the poison within his head. He is truly sick (not even being sarcastic).🤷🏻♀️

THANK YOU for doing an on-site town hall at a time that people can attend.

Re: When did everything become terrorism.
When tRump decided to crush all dissent.
It really isn't a surprise. 🤷🏻♀️

In all honesty, is anyone surprised? 🤷🏻♀️

Re: But the fact that the US paid El Salvador to imprison this man is relevant legally.
This is a valid point. It should not be minimized either.
But we must regularly reference both. Enslavement is surreal to far too many. It must be given the same focus as the contractual nature of enslavement.🤷🏻♀️

Excellent point... the betrayal runs deep.

Sorry... my words were meant for the poster who stated, "... somewhat off the mark to see a lot of people protesting this as 'slavery'."

But it's not a REAL constitutional crisis until Chuck Schumer says so.🤷🏻♀️

Agree with you. But I call it a slave market, because far too many do not see that we are selling humans into a slave system.
Currently, we are no different than those who put humans on ships & sold them to the American slave market of the antebellum south.🤷🏻♀️
DO NOT MINIMIZE WHAT IS HAPPENING.

Yep... when going all in is your other option. 🤷🏻♀️

Coming from a data background, the probability that DOGE looted data from each and every department they invaded is extremely high. For weeks, I've been wondering how long it would take a whistleblower to come forward. 🤷

Enslavement.
The United States is now in the business of participating in slave marketing.

Re: His answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT
Welp "facilitating" his return would compel tRump to STOP paying El Salvador to keep him at CECOT.🤷🏻♀️

In other words... "only when it personally impacts 'our people'".🤷🏻♀️
The person who said this doesn't get how the poem ends.🤷🏻♀️

Thank you for taking care of your constituents and standing up to this injustice. America must not submit to the injustice of Donald Trump...

Every single rally, every town hall, every protest builds the movement.
We will transcend the 3.5% threshold. We will... we just have to keep doing our part to grow this movement. 💗

Re: two weeks??????
By any objective assessment Kilmar Abrego Garcia's life is in serious danger!!!!!
Two weeks?????

Blinded by his understandable anger at Biden's actions re: Palestinian genocide. But - even then - why think tRump is going to be better? One look at his first term should've been enough warning, even if you don't believe progressives who empathize w/your justified anger & tell you tRump is worse.🤷
comment in response to

Yep....and on that note....
Has Chuck Schumer acknowledged we are in a constitutional crisis yet?🤷🏻♀️
comment in response to

THIS!!!!! @pocan.house.gov please join the efforts of Maxwell Frost and support Sen. Chris Van Hollen by joining his trip to El Salvador.
This is a moral and constitutional crisis. As your constituent, I am asking you to step up.

I will believe democrats.org is listening when their actions show they are heeding the message of Sanders, AOC and others.
Until then democrats.org is all talk and no action. 🤷🏻♀️
comment in response to
post
What say you @democrats.org?
Time to embrace the bold approach of leaders like Sanders, AOC and others. Or are you still sticking with big$ consultants and "good billionaires" who are telling you not to waste your time/energy outside the "swing states"?🤷🏻♀️

Now we've graduated from privatized prison enslavement within our borders to setting up and participating in an international slave market. 🤷🏻♀️

Read the poem, we know... that's the whole point.

So do something. 🤷🏻♀️ Actions speak louder than words.
Join Sen. VanHollen and Maxwell Frost.
And when you don't get cooperation take tRump & his sycophants to court... push it all the way to SCOTUS.
FORCE THE ISSUE!!!!!!!!🤷🏻♀️

Exactly.
Now let's take it further. Tag, call, email your dem congressional electeds & demand they join Sen. Van Hollen & take a Dem delegation to El Salvador. Maxwell Frost is right. Every Dem in Congress should join. Because they should know how the poem ends as well.

Exactly. For instance you could... oh... I don’t know... stand w/Sen. Chris Van Hollen and help build a congressional delegation to go to El Salvador.
You could do that, as your constituent, I am asking you to do that.🤷🏻♀️

Thank you @maxwellfrost.bsky.social.
As a WI resident I ask that @baldwin.senate.gov and @pocan.house.gov join you as well.

"Should" is the operative phrase. Sadly congressional dems can't seem to find and use their power. 🤷🏻♀️

But does Chuck Schumer think we're in a constitutional crisis yet?🤷🏻♀️
comment in response to

The Senate has oversight of the administrative branch.
Democrats could send a delegation to El Salvador and demand access to prisoners. You have legal authority and a platform to shed light in the conditions there.
But nothing.... your silence is deafening. 🤷🏻♀️

Re: concentration camps for profit.
Call them what they are. They are slave camps. And tRump has now put the USA into the business of enslaving humans.
And he will NOT stop with immigrants. Soon it will be "homegrown" citizens.🤷🏻♀️

Welp... I haven't entered Target since they caved to Trump on DEI. So the old car seat I have will not be taken in.🤷🏻♀️

@baldwin.senate.gov THIS is how a Senator should respond to authoritarianism.
What are you doing to help protect UW students here in WI who under the threat of Trump's illegal actions?

And meanwhile the silence from "official Washington" is deafening.
SCOTUS is silent
Legislative "leaders" are silent.
It unfolds before our very eyes with passive consent from the other branches.🤷🏻♀️

We have been in constitutional crisis territory since the unleashing of mu$kband usurping powers of Congress. But maybe now Chuck Schumer might actually acknowledge the problem. 🤷🏻♀️
comment in response to

You heard mu$k, it's how they all think.
"The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy."
tRump and his sycophants don't do empathy. THIS is what we are ALL up against. Go forward knowing this reality, and anticipate it with their EVERY action. 🤷🏻♀️

No, this is a broken democracy in which 36.32% of voters felt so hopeless about our government that they did not even vote.🤷
Shame on all of us for tolerating big$ interests dominating both dem and repub parties to the point where over a 1/3 of the voting population felt their vote didn't count.🤷
