“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else."
Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.
"They are not helpful! There was no reason for them to be here in the first place. If anything, it was a provocation." L.A. Mayor Karen Bass @mayor.lacity.gov makes clear that the presence of the National Guard in her city is not a helpful thing.
Tim Miller: "The ICE raids are not happening at Donald Trump's golf courses or in deep red parts of the country. These raids are happening in blue cities... That shows just how much they want this fight."
Deranged Trump fully believed a badly photoshopped picture of Abrego Garcia’s knuckles displaying “MS13” was real and got very angry at an interviewer for exposing the lie.
@realDonaldTrump is very dumb
It’s all about revenge
I’m old enough to remember seeing this movie at a drive in!
Impactful
You have to see this.
PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.
I’m 70 years old and love riding my e bike !
It’s also good with cream cheese instead of peanut butter
Does DT feel
Left out?
According to MAGA, if you hit a car with a baseball bat because you don’t like the company’s owner you’re a “terrorist”, but if you hit a Capitol police officer with a baseball bat because you don’t like the results of an election, you’re a “patriot.”
Do I have that just about right?

Revenge
This White House has now crossed the Rubicon that for centuries has kept the Attorney General from becoming a Consigliere for the American President as Mob Boss Extraordinaire. Read this directive and weep:

The author of this piece is an American photo journalist who has been embedded in El Salvador. Reading this piece is frightening and it should be. It's who we are in danger of becoming. time.com/7269604/el-s...
Trump’s losing battle with a top federal judge, the judiciary striking back, a major law firm selling out in the most sickening way, and more on Legal AF. Watch live now!
Department is spelled wrong.
State-sponsored kidnapping
The Trump admin took people by force, based on flimsy accusations & sent them not to their home country but to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador—in defiance of a court order.
Holding people against their will through deception and threat is by definition—kidnapping.
Fun fact: Donald Trump’s sister was the federal judge who ruled unconstitutional the immigration law the Trump administration is now using to deport a pro-Palestinian protester www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

This power grab is unprecedented, unbounded, and unconstitutional.
The top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Jamie Raskin, rightly blasted Trump’s speech as a “grim landmark in the spreading authoritarianism of this administration.”

Donald Trump has illegally invoked The Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a wartime authority, to detain and deport Venezuelan immigrants he deems to be members of criminal gang Tren de Aragua.
This was last invoked during WWII to justify the internment of Japanese-Americans.
This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH
I’m amazed how little coverage this story has gotten. They’ve burned well over $16 million to briefly hold 290 immigrants and several photo ops to GITMO. Just a total train wreck and they didn’t even mention it officially. Check out my latest.
