@froomkin.bsky.social has the right idea here: A volunteer army tracking exactly what Trump is breaking, so we can fix it later. Lots of work is already happening, but a combined, organized, ongoing effort is crucial. It's a manifestation of faith in recovery, and a tool to help us get it done.

Today is day 50 since Andry disappeared, & we have no proof of life since the horrific photos taken as he arrived at CECOT. @immdef.bsky.social is so grateful to @lastweektonight.com for featuring his plight on tonight’s episode. We’re still fighting for his return, we’re holding on to hope 👑

There is a reason why millions of workers want to join unions. There is a reason why greedy corporations oppose unions. Union membership means higher wages and better benefits. Let’s grow the trade union movement.

Today on Yom HaShoah and Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, it’s important to remember that genocide isn’t an abstract concept. It’s something that happens before our eyes. To honor those murdered in past genocides, we can’t just remember. We must also take action and protect our most vulnerable.

Donate $8 here if you agree that it’s time for bold new voices in Congress who will **actually** stand up to Trump and Musk: secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-b...

Hey @padilla.senate.gov and @schiff.senate.gov Senator Van Hollen has been doing a lot to help Kilmar Abrego Garcia, what are you doing to help Andry Hernandez Romero the gay gentleman, seeking asylum, who was taken from San Diego and thrown into the concentration camps in El Salvador?!!

Family includes everyone! ❤️

My breakdown of what we know so far from the Van Hollen meeting with Abrego Garcia www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0GF...

We need to work on this young man’s return to the US also 🫶🏻 🙏🏻

Illinois is and forever will be a beacon of progress and equality for the LGBTQ+ community across the nation. We know that people are hurting right now and looking for answers. That's why I spent the afternoon hearing from folks on what we can do to support them right now.

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release. Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

HANES is exporting their products from their 350,000-square-foot El Salvador textile plant to the US. — you do not get to stand by and watch human rights violations. What’s next? Hanes using prisoners as their labor force? Return Garcia to America! #BOYCOTTHANES !

Professor Eichengreen: 👨‍🍳💋

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

We need to make Andry Romero a household name. There should be pressure to bring him and others back every single day. But we need to focus the public’s attention on a single victim - a story that is repeated over and over so few can say they haven’t heard of him. That’s what MAGA does. Andry.

The Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park has been named one of the most innovative companies in economic development. We're making Illinois the undisputed leader in quantum — and bringing the discoveries made right here to the world.

Donald Trump doesn't understand the importance or value of the arts. But the students at Equity Arc Pathways Orchestra won't be held down by his attempts to silence their instruments. Honored to hear them at the @chicagosymphony.bsky.social to kick off the Chicago Youth in Music Festival.

Today's Shabbat Shalom may look a bit different, but for good reason. @booker.senate.gov (D-NJ) made history this week with his remarkable 25-hour long floor speech, vowing to disrupt “the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as [he is] physically able."

This morning, while I was still in Albany, a group of our incredible volunteers and election attorney Ali Najmi submitted petition signatures of 36,966 voters to get my name on the ballot for New York City mayor. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

🚨 THIS IS A RED ALERT FOR ALL AMERICAN WORKERS. If you think this administration will stop at eliminating unions for federal workers, you need to get your head examined. These billionaires are coming for our right to organize as workers. ALL of us.

I am no conspiracy theorist, but it really feels like they are trying to destroy our country from within. Health care, public schools, universities, research, law firms, federal workers, the environment are all getting the axe. What was it again that it made America great?

We just won big in Penn—now let’s win Tuesday in Wisc and Florida! After HUGE upset win Tuesday in Pa., this Tuesday we can win Wisc Supreme Court race (Musk spent $20 million to buy judge) and 2 Fla special congressional elections!

This is what tyrants like Erdogan do- they kidnap people off the street and disappear them. We are now an authoritarian state like Turkey.
