A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

The DOJ's move to cut funding to combat sexual assault in prisons, jails, and immigration and juvenile detention is callous and wrong. These cuts make it harder to hold prison staff accountable for the abuse of incarcerated people.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Graphic highlighting three individuals wrongfully removed from the U.S.: Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland father sent to El Salvador due to an administrative error; Merwil Gutiérrez, a 19-year-old New Yorker taken by ICE despite not being the intended target; and Andry Hernández Romero, a gay makeup artist seeking asylum who was taken because of his tattoos, despite having no gang affiliation. The message below urges action: “These are our friends, our neighbors—Trump must bring them home.” Call your representatives: (202) 224-3121.

President Bukele of El Salvador will be at the White House tomorrow. The press needs to do their job. These are the questions: "Has president Trump, or a representative of the U.S., asked you to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia?" "If the U.S. asked you to return him, would you?"
