Andry Hernandez Romero, the Venezuelan makeup artist sent to a notorious Salvadoran prison, claimed asylum in the US because he was persecuted as a gay man.
Chris Van Hollen met in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Andry lived in San Diego—why hasn’t Alex Padilla or Adam Schiff met with him? 🤨

My dad is 98, WWII USNavy Veteran. Showed up for democracy in San Diego today. "I fought for it once, I'll fight for it again!" 💙🇺🇸💙 THIS is what democracy looks like!!!!

A friend of mine has coined the term “Pinocheting” to describe what the government is doing to these prisoners.
Hitler and his propaganda machine used manipulated photos and visual propaganda to spread lies about Jewish people.
Hitler’s regime weaponized images, often faked, staged, or taken out of context, to dehumanize Jews and justify genocide.
After the attack on Shapiro’s residence, I feel like it’s important to remind people how easy it is for people to become irrevocably radicalized online.
Right wing media (both “new” and legacy) is using the same tactics we see groups like Al-Qaeda use to recruit.
JUST IN: Lawyers for Venezuelan nationals say they’re being loaded onto buses this hour in anticipation of a new wave of Alien Enemies Act deportations, w less than 24 hours notice. They’re asking Judge Boasberg for an immediate restraining order requiring 30 days notice.
Fixed it for you, @NYTimes. Oh, and by the way, @ChrisVanHollen — he's NOT coming back.
The White House just posted this on X.
Alt-text: Screenshot of The New York Times homepage from April 17, 2025. The lead story headline reads: “Senator Meets With Wrongly Deported Maryland Man in El Salvador,” reporting that Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland met with Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia after previously being denied access to the prison where Abrego Garcia is held. A photo shows the two men sitting at a table in conversation, with water glasses and coffee cups in front of them. Van Hollen is leaning forward, speaking seriously. Below the main story is a secondary headline: “Dual Orders From Judges Edge Courts Closer to Confrontation With White House."
Van Hollen’s trip to El Salvador is a form of embodied protest and helped put Trump’s illegal deportation of Abrego Gracia on the front page of the NYT two days in a row.
As Bayard Rustin once said, “The only weapons we have are our bodies, and we need to tuck them in places so wheels don't turn.”
He almost put enough gold stuff in the White House to make it look like the Kremlin. Not quite, but he’ll get there.
The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..
If these behemoths would pay their "fair" share, we wouldn't be trying to balance tax cuts against Medicaid/Social Security costs.

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."
A tweet by Sarah Longwell (@SarahLongwell25 ) reads: "He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. Don’t you see what’s happening here?"
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.
Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

I am 6’2” and years ago I got up to 245. I tend to gain most of my weight in my belly and it was nowhere near the size of that fat orange fuck

@qm-b.bsky.social
this is Mohsen Mahdawi, the green card holder who was just arrested by ICE for rendition at his citizenship interview
The truth is pretty simple: If your vision for America requires fewer people voting, less healthcare, lower wages, and more corporate power — it’s not patriotism. It’s just cruelty dressed up in red, white, and blue.
We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.
He doesn’t care if people suffer.
He just cares about never admitting he’s wrong.
I like this because J-town looks like he is trying to be sexy
Spoken as a true leader:“Last night, we experienced an attack, not just on our family, but on the entire Commonwealth of PA…,” Mr. Shapiro said. “I want you all to know that your prayers lift us up, and in this moment of darkness, we are choosing to see light.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...
