When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

A New Hampshire real estate attorney and American citizen returning home from Canada says he was detained at the border without an explanation and "treated like a criminal."

Dang! The Chinese on TikTok aren’t taking any days off. 🤣🤣🤣

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

The Trump administration keeps Losing in court because they want to do illegal stuff

ICE has just sent an innocent 19-year old young man named Merwil Gutiérrez to El Salvador to die in the same concentration camp. He wasn’t even their target, and they kidnapped him anyway. Jesus Christ, people. Wake up.

Are you watching @maddow.msnbc.com tonight? Cause….wow.

OMG. RFK Jr. at the "Make Indiana Healthy Again" talking about autism: "This whole generation of kids is damaged." This is what he thinks of kids with autism? That they're "damaged?" Reprehensible.

Just so I am keeping everything straight…the government can’t tell you to wear a mask because FREEDOM!!!!, but it can decide you are a “terrorist” and send you to a foreign gulag without due process and throw away the key. That right?

This is something we can all do.👇🏼 File a complaint with the FL and DC Bar to have Pam Bondi disbarred for not complying with the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to return Mr. Garcia from El Salvador.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

if you lived through the lead up to the iraq war then you know that this is the most delusional thing anyone has ever said

jesus christ

Marjorie Taylor Greene gets called a “butch body bigot” at her town hall in Cobb County, Georgia. A Jasmine Crockett fan was representing! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has committed hundreds of crimes. And the fact that we can’t find evidence of any of them proves just how devious he was about covering it all up. by Marco Rubio and Stephen Miller

There is a PR narrative quickly emerging about “entitlement” of elite universities, as if this $ is some sort of subsidy Harvard & others must counter this quickly The $ doesn’t flow into Harvard’s coffers - this is grant money, most of which goes to research the govt has agreed has social value

Hey, do you know what you call a guy who never admits a mistake, who becomes President of the United States by never admitting a mistake, who then convinces his entire presidential administration to never admit—let alone correct—any mistake, leading to innocents getting life sentences? A sociopath.

Judge Xinis to DOJ lawyer: “Cancel vacation. Cancel other appointments. I’m usually pretty good about this in my courtroom, but not this time.” She also agreed to allow the plaintiffs to depose up to 6 administration officials. Good first step, but need accountability.

Judge temporarily blocks 34x Convicted Orange Felon from retaliating against firm that sued Fox News for election lies www.yahoo.com/news/judge-t...

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal. He was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud, found liable for sexual abuse. If he wants to find the rapists and criminals in this country, he should look in the mirror

Thank YOU for coming out! This is exactly why we do this. One objective of these rallies has been for people in red and swing areas to start seeing and finding one another. There is power in numbers. We also bring local organizers onstage to speak and highlight local issues. It’s been great 💜

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

What the f*ck?

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 don't care how many junior staffs Hegseth or others throw under the bus. Hegseth HIMSELF was on the Signal group chat. He used his fingers to enter the sensitive military info into the chat. He bears 100% full responsibility for that -- no matter how many scapegoats he finds.

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.

Fuck Bill Maher. What he’s done is incredibly dangerous and he should be gone. Fuck him. He needs to lose every viewer that ever gave him time. You don’t embrace a dictator. Never.

Judge Xinis in Tuesday eve order homes in on key issue: "Abrego Garcia appears to remain inexplicably detained in CECOT." She cites text in written agreement with El Salvador showing US control: That detainees are kept in CECOT “pending the United States’ decision on their long-term disposition.”

Authoritarianism

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

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

Dead inside much?

no tattoos, no criminality, just a 19 year old on his way back from volunteering with the Red Cross, taken off the street and thrown into a Salvadoran dungeon documentedny.com/2025/04/14/i...

Wow! HHS is hitting new levels of recklessness and incompetence… U.S. citizens are being threatened with deportation by Homeland Security. Nicole Micheroni isn’t just a citizen—she’s an immigration attorney. And she got a notice to leave the country within 7 days.

Yeah, it's the people describing him as the father of an autistic child who are "sensationalizing" this, and not the people who are insisting this guy with no criminal record is actually some sort of Super Terrorist Voltron who's worse than Osama bin Laden, MS-13 and Pablo Escobar combined.

Highly disturbing story about DOGE but this detail is particularly chilling www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Another packed auditorium for Bernie Sanders and AOC at the Fight Oligarchy event in Bakersfield, California. Love to see it!

Seems like this would be a big deal for the Sincere Enemies of Anti-Semitism

They tried to burn a US governor and his family and the president of the United States has said nothing.

Some things are worth repeating: Social Security is an EARNED benefit that WE, the American people, pay into. It should not be a political punching bag. Hands all the way off.

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.
