ā€œDonald trump will become and/or remain popular so attacking him now will look bad in the futureā€ underlies so much shit

Van Hollen details why he thinks the government of El Salvador is making a huge mistake in turning itself into a concentration camp for Trump

U.S. immigration detention is a profit-driven enterprise. Private corporations like GEO Group and CoreCivic receive billions in federal contracts, earning daily revenue per detainee. The more migrants detained, the greater the profitā€”turning human suffering into a business model.

Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

I went to El Salvador hoping to meet with Kilmar and check on his well-being, and I had the chance to do that last night. Our courts have been clear: this was an ILLEGAL abduction. Iā€™m speaking now about my meeting with Kilmar and our work to bring him home:

Chris Van Hollen thinks Trump shouldnā€™t be allowed to summarily disappear you and your family into a Salvadorian enslavement compound. AIPAC wants Van Hollen gone.

The Trump Admin is trying to disappear almost 200 more people to El Salvador. This is a violation of due process. If we let Trump get away with disappearing immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act, there is nothing stopping him from disappearing U.S. citizens next. (1/2)

Sen Van Hollen reached a milestone when he met w/ Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Of course, there was political theater b/c authoritarians One can only wonder & hope for Kilmar's welfare once the cameras were off Keep the spotlight on. Keep telling your MOCs: Due process is not optional, bring him back

Who gets labeled a ā€œgang memberā€ and who doesnā€™t? Donā€™t be fooled by government propagandaā€¦

"They want to rob it": Former Social Security head says Musk, Trump are "wrecking" agency to raid it

SCOTUS ruled that Trump had to give people adequate notice before deporting them. Yet today, there are reports that he's deporting 177 immigrants with under 24 hours' noticeā€”not enough time to assert due process. We cannot stand by as this admin continues to disappear people.

if there is anything democrats should have learned from republicans it is that you can attack someone on their perceived strengths in order to weaken them. being a vietnam veteran was key to kerry's identity and they relentlessly called him an unpatriotic pussy who got a purple heart for a booboo.

Trump said he wanted to take away due process for immigrantsā€“something conservative judges think is unconstitutionalā€”and he did. He says he wants to ship American citizens to foreign countries, believe him and do not wait to speak out against his abhorrent actions.

Waltz must go. Hegseth must go. Accountability now.

July 14th, is the anniversary of the French Revolution. Who wants cake!

Florida shooting reporting proving the point:

Worse than originally reported. This is just so unreal.

Seems important.

The Trump regime has declared that Human Rights are void and that you are not entitled to them. www.npr.org/2025/04/18/n...

Guys, this is David Brooks in the NY Times. If it's like this 90 days into this presidency with people who wouldn't be caught dead saying it last year, imagine it in two years. Something good is happening, we just have to lift everybody up so they can see it. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/o...

The President of the United States fears only those who do not fear him.

the US government is so hostile to immigrants and Palestine activism that theyā€™re snatching students off campuses and deporting themā€”while radicalized white men like FSU shooter Phoenix Ikner, the son of a cop who used her gun, espouse Nazi ideology and ridicule protesters before killing. my latest
