This! Make it make sense! #WeAreTheWorst

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

Until the horrible happens to them or their loved ones, Rethuglicans don’t care.

The world they’re trying to make rests on the assumption that there will never be a reckoning for what they’ve done. The present is bad; their imagined future is far worse.

Make it make sense!

If you know…you know how big this is! Having stayed up til camp registrations open at 1 a.m. just in the hope of snagging spots for my kids (for summer childcare) I can’t even imagine a world where there are still spots open at the end of May!!! 😳

If Americans were knowledgeable of conflict scholarship as I am, you would know why I don’t care if truth makes you uncomfortable. Authoritarianism experts are leaving bc they don’t believe Americans are taking this seriously. So many still think midterms will fix this. Delusion is an infection.

At each protest I’ve been to I hear liberal white ppl say the crowd is too white & wonder why black & brown ppl aren’t there. I want to punch these ppl cuz…Really?? Have you stopped for 1 min to think that it’s not safe for them to be there? AND btw white ppl made this mess, up to us to fix it.

Let food into Gaza NOW! Netanyahu and his government are starving 2 million civilians. This is day 76 of the blockade. Trucks with food are waiting to get in but are blocked. Children have already died from withholding food. The U.S. is complicit in this gross violation of international law.

Tax the extreme rich

If a million ChatGPTs were asked to write for a million years to come up with the stupidest version of humanity, they could not outdo reality.

"He won't stop until the entire country has been remade in his image. He won't stop until the Constitution is shredded and the Bill of Rights is burned to ash. We are looking at the death of democracy." - Bernie Sanders

To whoever maintains the international human rights watchlists, good job adding the US. Since the can of worms is open, I recommend you also look at our: - maternal mortality rate - childhood gun death rate - incarceration rate PS. don't forget - capital punishment.

We haven't forgotten the 238 men who were illegally sent to CECOT in El Salvador to serve life sentences without due process, at least 75% of whom have no criminal record anywhere. All 238 of them. While we're at it, we need to lock up those who illegally ordered it and those who carried it out.

If South Africa is a sovereign nation, how are we able to send our own planes we paid for to transport white Afrikaners to the U.S., but simultaneously unable to send a plane to return Abrego Garcia et al?

Yup! I was one of them…near Ft Bragg, NC…and married to a soldier… Even worse was my prediction re: nesting FEMA in with DHS…and here we are. 💔

If ICE agents in the US are ever held to account for their actions (seizing people without due process, etc.), “I was just following orders” didn’t work at the Nuremberg trials either.

If this is true…😲😲😲😲

At this point I really need every single American to be at this level of rage. I don’t recognize this country anymore. And he hadn’t even seen the news yet of the mayor being taken and congress members being assaulted by ICE. This is appropriate levels of rage.

"All I can hear are the screams—the deafening desperate screams, from a mother, from her daughter, from the woman holding the daughter’s baby." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"Another officer, frustrated, says, 'They don’t need a warrant.' Finally, one of them tells the truth. Due process is not a matter they’re concerned with. The deportation must proceed. Trying to stop it is the unlawful thing"—@billshaner.bsky.social in Worcester www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If you think suspending Habeas Corpus "just for undocumented immigrants" is acceptable, remember that there would be NO HEARINGS and NO LEGAL RECOURSE for ANYONE detained in this way So all they have to do is CLAIM that YOU are an undocumented immigrant to DISAPPEAR YOU

In an era that looked as if it might be defined by an American man of depraved cruelty, corruption & shame, what a magnificent thing the Catholic Church has done. The elevation of an American man of goodness, grace, humility, mercy & faith to the Throne of St. Peter is moving & momentous for us all.

First they arrested a judge. Now they’ve arrested the mayor of a major American city. This isn’t normal. This is an assault on democracy.

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

The Prime Minister of a sovereign country came to the United States today and actually had to tell the President of the United States - to his face - that his sovereign country wasn’t for sale. And would never be for sale. That actually happened today.

. So what has to happen in order for people to do their job and put this man in jail? Does he have to kill someone on national television? Like what will it take? Asking for America. .

I want to be super clear. The United States has a responsibility to go get every single person they have deported to foreign concentration camps and bring them back. That is the just and humane thing to do. Any politician not willing to say that is not worthy of service.

This. I fear for the moment someone decides to capitalize on this moment of extreme vulnerability.

If the Executive is breaking laws, not using warrants, throwing civilians and judges in jail cells without due process, the only way to fight that is for the Judicial to throw some law breaking Executives in jail cells. Are the 2 branches equal or not? Are they checks on each other’s power or not?

So, if all the agencies these home invaders said they were agents of, deny their involvement…then who are these folk? What is really going on?? Who are these secret police/agents??? Who are we as a country????

The thing that keeps hitting me three to six times a day with everything that’s going on domestically and globally: what a colossal and unnecessary waste of potential, life, and possibility How many future paths foreclosed, in big and small ways, for nothing

If you're a Democratic elected and don't have Stephen Miller or Pam Bondi or Ed Martin talking about throwing you in prison for your seditious libels of Dear Leader, you aren't going hard enough.

There it is, in a nutshell.

"You pray for the hungry. Then you feed them. This is how prayer works." —Pope Francis

Dear media, It's trafficking The word you're looking for is trafficking Coupled with kidnapping The only thing he's deporting is a fuckton of American embarrassment to every country in the world. STOP calling them deportations. That is a legal term. It's not even close to what he's actually doing

"He might have a pen, and he might have a phone, but what he does not have is the constitutional power to run this country like a dictator." - Barack Obama

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.
