I idle at 5 x 1000 RPM. If all you have are excuses, I don't have time... or ears. I view American exceptionalism the same way I view religion and hate; no one is born believing it. They believe it because they were told as a captive audience.

Katy Perry went to space, cried "feminism" while NASA's forced to remove women's achievements from their history, caused an enormous amount of environmental damage, & contributed NOTHING to art or culture while she was up there. She released a set list for a tour that can't even give away tickets.

This is the American born citizen who was held in Florida by ICE despite possessing a valid birth certificate. Glad he is out of custody.

This Is What The Agreement States And We Should Honor It!

He’s alive. 👏👏👏👏 now is not the time to sit back in relief. We must continue to fight for his return!!

Kilmar is alive! Thank you @vanhollen.senate.gov now let’s bring him home to his family!!

"I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance."

@vanhollen.senate.gov Thank you for your courage and perseverance to ensure the well-being of Mr. Garcia. I know his family, friends, and all of us that seek justice for him are relieved. We need more people like you.

Bless you, Senator!!

Gun violence is not inevitable. It’s a policy choice. We’ve passed real reform in MI. Legislation that would require firearms be safely secured so kids can’t get a hold of their parent’s guns. We can do it on the federal level. We just need the will.

I agree—Garcia deserved due process, full stop. We must also underscore that no credible evidence has ever emerged suggesting he’s a member of MS-13 or ever has been, nor has any court come within a million miles of such a finding; he has no record; and an ex parte TRO isn’t evidence of misconduct.

Honestly, I have to say a big fuck you to anyone who even remotely implied that @vanhollen.senate.gov’s trip was “pointless.” This is what leadership looks like. Maybe you can learn a thing or two.

Outlets are reporting the 4th Circuit Abrego García opinion as “scathing”—which maybe, but that isn’t the point. The opinion isn’t over the top; it applies the law to the facts we have, and reaches the only result it reasonably can. (Thread)

Absolutely! Who else agrees?

At least he's alive... apnews.com/article/abre...

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

“Don’t lose relationships over elections” - nahhhhh. This was a conscious choice. This was people choosing hatred over all the evidence; the guilty verdicts, the history of racism, sexism, SA, greed and lying. This was not of my doing, if my consequences are to remove that person from my life.

Grateful to my friend and MD colleague @ChrisVanHollen for traveling to El Salvador to try to check on Abrego Garcia’s condition. We will not let up the pressure on the self-proclaimed dictator of El Salvador or the aspiring dictator here. We will continue the fight to bring Abrego Garcia home.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen after being turned away from the prison holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia:   "I do intend to keep at this until we ensure that Mr. Abrego Garcia has his rights to due process, which is what the courts of the United States have called for."

I have three bottles of champagne set aside. One for her, one for the oligarch, and one for the dictator. And I intend to live to drink all three.

BREAKING: US Citizen being held by ICE in Florida

We were just denied entry into CECOT — the notorious prison in El Salvador where Mr. Abrego Garcia is being illegally held. We were there for one simple reason: to check on his well-being, which his family and lawyers have not been allowed to do. We won’t stop fighting.

There is nothing comforting about “I’m just as scared as you” coming from the legislative branch that’s supposed to keep checks and balances on the executive. While she thought it was relatable, it is actually mortifying.

This is K2-18b. It’s a planet outside of our solar system, about 2 1/2 times the size of earth, orbiting a small red dwarf star. The James Webb space telescope spent time studying this planet via spectroscopy and determined it has gases in its atmosphere that are only created through biology!

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — 20-year-old gunman at Florida State University was sheriff's deputy's son and service weapon found at scene, police say.

The Florida State University shooting was the result of the child of a deputy sheriff stealing her firearm. Last year, I wrote a piece about this exact topic: no responsible gun owner has their firearm stolen by their child. charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/its-imposs...

We are nearing the end.

they want us poor, sick and desperate

saying you want all undocumented immigrants deported is easy until there's an ICE raid in your neighborhood

www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjNXbMPM/ He was BORN here. His MOTHER brought his Birth Certificate and SSN to the court. HE'S BEING HELD AS AN "UNAUTHORIZED IMMIGRANT" in FLORIDA anyway. What was that about "just carry papers" and "just the criminals"?
