I'm going to tell you again. There is NO REASON to vote for this man and if you do, everything you hold dear in this city is going to be destroyed.

Imagine if you handed your car keys to a drunk driver—then acted shocked when they crashed it. That’s what happens when we give power to the corrupt and stay silent. Time to grab the wheel back. #TakeBackDemocracy

Can check off heckling Cuomo from my bucket list. "I was Gov for 11 years" "You resigned in disgrace!"

The Bush administration disappeared people too, sent them to a different gulag at Gitmo and other black sites, kidnapped people off the street of Milan, tortured them, in the name of "a different kind of war." We didn't come close to holding them accountable. We're seeing the cost of that now.

Van Hollen: And it's also important that people understand this case is not just about one man. It's about protecting the constitutional rights of everybody who resides in the United States of America.

I hope seeing Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive will convince some of you to stop preemptively declaring people dead. I know it comes from a place of fear, but cynicism and pessimism can demobilize people and lead folks to give up before a fight is lost. Let's not seed that attitude.

Time to start impeachment proceedings. If the Supreme Court doesn’t matter, we do not have a working democracy. If we cozy up to an El Salvadoran thug, what are we?

Recently read: Parable of the Sower. My first Octavia Butler, which is embarrassing to admit. Such a compelling voice. The story was a lot bleaker than I was anticipating. The cover quote likens it to other dystopian works but it reminded me of The Road above all, and tbqh I think it surpasses it 📚💙

Dictatorships grab people off the street and jail them. Dictatorships demonize vulnerable minorities. Dictatorships destroy data. Dictatorships reject independent courts. Dictatorships buy the backing of the super-rich. Dictatorships persecute dissidents. See what’s happening, fellow Americans.

Here in Alameda County in CA, at Santa Rita jail, we wrongly incarcerate, torture, and kill people. This "tradition" allows people like Newsom and Trump to nuture new inhuman ideas.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory
