Do you hear Gandhi?....

You cannot legally send Americans to an El Salvadorian prison no matter what they have done. Plain and simple.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Didn’t get a chance to post this earlier, but there was a huge turnout in support of Kilmar Abrego Garcia at the federal courthouse. From my seat in the jury room, I heard the supporters outside chanting throughout the hearing.

Feel the Bern in Idaho is full!

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

They have no problem sending SWAT into schools to grab migrant kids, but when it’s an active shooter they use those children as human shields.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pulled in a massive fundraising haul amid progressive calls for her to launch a 2028 primary challenge against Sen. Chuck Schumer

So do I‼️

Leavitt: "Abrego Garcia was a foreign terrorist. He is an MS-13 gang member. He was engaged in human trafficking." (The White House hasn't provided evidence for any of these claims ... )

Sanders: I come from the state of Vermont and I am here Bakersfield. Alexandria comes from New York and she is here in Bakersfield. Mr. Congressman, you live in this district, why don’t you show up…

Damn right!

There’s a madman at the wheel of the American bus 🚎 😵‍💫🙏🏻

Question: Why are you such a coward in the face of it obvious fascist takeover? Greene: Scary. That's scary. You know, I have yet to see a fascist gathering. That does not exist in the Republican Party.

Zelensky wore a sweater and pants to show solidarity with his troops and he got destroyed, but Bukele showed up looking like the manager of a Staten Island nightclub and no one said a goddamn word.

BREAKING: Donald Trump Caught On Hot Mic Discussing Deporting American Citizens to El Salvador open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Please watch 👇🏻 Putin is a war criminal. This absolutely breaks my heart. Putin and Trump are no where near the man Zelenskyy is. Ukraine will win. 🇺🇦💙💛

They should make it as hard to buy a gun as it is for a married woman to register to vote! 😡

The very least that the felon could do is legalize pot federally so that the whole country could be stoned for the next three and a half years while having to endure his temper tantrums. Coz then we may just think this bullshit is true. Probably not though. www.cnn.com/2025/04/13/p...

This is to the shame of our country

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

Thank you @morgfair.bsky.social for posting this important piece by @djrothkopf.bsky.social I needed to hear some encouragement: “We can succeed.” I’m may be scared, but I am going to work my ass off to help defeat the autocrat and his evil minions. Let’s do this @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social!!

You will find the scope of this new PROOF report—the third in a series on the Trump-El Salvador Scandal—staggering. You will want to know this information before the Trump-Bukele Summit Monday. It is worse than anyone feared.

Basically: I don’t think people understand that 36 hours from now it’s possible that America will have a formalized system for abducting enemies of the regime and stashing them in foreign gulags, indefinitely. www.thebulwark.com/p/bukele-abr...

Orban is the pervert! He is unable to live in tune with his fellow human beings. He thinks he must control them. Vile creature 🤮

Zelensky Issues World War 3 Warning to Donald Trump https://twp.ai/4imebl

Rock legend Neil Young with Bernie Sanders yesterday at his “Fighting Oligarchy” rally in Los Angeles 👇🏻

I have this sinking feeling that Americans have little understanding about why Due Process and Rule of Law are foundational to our democracy and freedom.

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

Sanders: We’re here in so-called conservative Utah, and tomorrow we’ll be in Idaho—because we believe that in every state in this country, people are prepared to stand up and fight back

Green Tahini Sauce is #RecipeOfTheDay! You see it here over roast sweet potatoes but there is so much – eg lamb, fish, beetroot, tomatoes – it can be dolloped on to delicious effect. And while the wild garlic’s about, do consider replacing the regular cloves with it. www.nigella.com/recipes/gree...
