This is an independent nonprofit group whose affairs Musk is trying to meddle in with DOGE. His rationale seems to be that any nonprofit that receives any federal funding is fair game to go after.

So the question is misleading — “harboring fugitives” is not what sanctuary states do, to be clear. They simply limit cooperation with federal immigration agencies as Thomas Jefferson himself intended.

This guy has family members. He has friends. He has neighbors. People may know him from church or softball or their kids’ hockey league or the corner store. I hope they all see this photo. I hope they all recognize him.

I've heard from thousands of Mainers who are deeply concerned about what this Administration is doing to Social Security: firing employees, closing offices, cutting phone service. Make no mistake: This is all just an end run to slash benefits—so Republicans can justify privatizing the SSA. (1/2)

The existential national crucible that Donald Trump has brought to the fore with his experiment in disappearing people to a torture gulag in El Salvador presents us with one of the starkest test of values and the constitution our country has ever faced. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/has-americ...

Thinking that maybe my unborn grandchildren will have days in school where "Trump survivors" come speak to class to warn them about evil, show their scars from the Salvadoran gulag, and teach them about "never again," again

the thing about this El Salvador stuff is it's a direct evolution of Guantanamo Bay, a black site with bipartisan support maybe the next time Dirty Leftists point out how every illegal thing America does to 'bad guys' will eventually come for you, someone will listen

We are hearing dozens of stories of senior biomedical scientists who are packing in their research and looking to leave science. Not an exaggeration. And it’s coming from all over the country. Trump has detonated a nuclear bomb in US research into cures for diseases like cancer.

Democratic pols shld really be mocking Trump as acting like a foreign strongman, dictator, autocrat etc. is he going to start wearing epaulets and a military uniform next? Etc. the archetype is deeply woven into American civic culture as a figure or scorn and menace.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

Interesting. Two of the grievances in the Declaration of Independence condemned the Crown for denying legal protection, especially imprisonment without cause. “For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.” “For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses.”

Yup. They'll send a legitimately awful US citizen to CECOT, and anyone who criticizes it will be accused of supporting the awful person... and then they'll send someone slightly less awful. Eventually, they'll have established that they can send anyone.

Or some combination of flips & resignations in the House. You’re a Republican & you think Trump is dangerous, & you lack a full spine but you have a few vertebrae? Resign. Your seat will be open for months, & in the meantime it’s half a vote for Jeffries.

The reason there's been no attempt at legal action in El Salvador isn't just they've formally stripped all legal protections and due process. Bukele's regime also retaliates against lawyers who try and has effectively crushed any resistance from them. The attacks on the rule of law are all related.

Delighted to have participated in this effort. Now I'm trying to get more groups talking about impeachment, too.
