A Chicago Bulls hoodie makes Kilmar Garcia a gang member the same way a shiny gold cross makes Karoline Leavitt a Christian.

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

Join us this Saturday, April 19, at Waterfront Park at 10AM for a day of conversation, community and resistance! Around noon we will march to the Gaslamp District for a flyering action to raise awareness and foster community conversation. #sandiego #fdt #protest #resistance #mobilize #SD

If Democratic congressional leadership don’t lead an en masse halt to all legislative business after today, I don’t know why they’re worth supporting. What moment could more demand a response of intractable and tedious opposition? Shut it all down, and refuse to budge.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Whoever did this—buy them a drink. ☠️🤣

I agree that this is the logical endpoint, but it is also likely its Kryptonite because then it makes our courts impotent. Courts don’t like giving up their power (see post 9/11). So the endgame, if the courts want to stay relevant, is to say the whole thing is unconstitutional from the jump

Wannabe dictator.

This seems right, and all of this is WRONG.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

A disgraced former Milwaukee cop with credibility issues helped seal the fate of a gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to El Salvador's notorious prison. Cross was fired from his position as a Milwaukee Police Sergeant in 2012 after driving his car into a family’s home while intoxicated.

From 317,636 to 323,126 510 more, and that's #6kin6days which is awesome. Let's keep that momentum and make this @generalstrikeus.bsky.social thing happen 🖤

Artist Jenny Holzer just really nailed it, don't you think?

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

That’s because there weren’t any.

In Congress, Dem Sen. Adam Schiff and Dem Rep. Jamie Raskin co-hosted a “spotlight hearing,” focused on Trump’s corruption at the Department of Justice. This approach allows Dems to hold hearings without Republican approval. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/great-news...

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

Whole-heartedly support Wildcoast in their efforts to spur faster solutions to the disgusting Aegean Stables on the San Diego border.

I have a trade deficit with my local cafe, I go there regularly and yet they buy NOTHING from me, to rectify this situation I'm going to charge myself $10 every time I buy a sausage roll

OK, let’s see the best signs that you saw today.

#HandsOff all 50 states …LFG….FDT

THIS. #HandsOff

Saw this at protest in Torrance CA. At least 3000 people here. A house across the street flying a trump flag , so this is not exactly a liberal enclave.

Hands down the funniest #HandsOff sign I saw today.

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss: 1. 1929 (the Great Depression) 2. 1987 (Black Monday) 3. 2008 (the Great Recession) 4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

If your NC vote has been challenged, the appeals court has triggered a 15-day "curing" period. It is imperative that you contact your local Board of Elections or legal representation for the next steps. The NC GOP is openly trying to steal their state's Supreme Court. Do not let them.
