A reminder that the MAGA politicians mocking Democrats for visiting wrongly detained immigrants for their "crime" of free speech are the same MAGA politicians who visited duly convicted white supremacist insurrectionists for their actual crime of trying to overthrow the government.

It’s not just about us. More than 80 Afghan women funded by USAID fled Afghanistan to pursue higher education in Oman, have had their scholarship terminated. They were informed they will be sent back to the Taliban. BBC There is true evil in this world. Women women’s rights are civil rights.

Elon Musk would now be in charge of the databases determining voter eligibility.
A screenshot of a text excerpt mentioning the Department of Homeland Security and the DOGE Administrator. The text discusses the review of voter registration lists, voter list maintenance activities, and the coordination of federal and state records, including immigration databases, to ensure consistency with federal requirements. The text cites 52 U.S.C. 20507 and mentions the use of subpoenas where necessary.

"Musk's claim ("the left is supposed to be the party of empathy") perfectly distills the asymmetry in our politics. The left is “supposed to be” empathetic, so that’s the standard it must live up to. The right isn't, so when its leader incites a riot, that’s fine since it meets our expectations."

"But I'm a citizen," you say. "This doesn't apply to me." It's a pretty short step from deporting lawful residents without due process to "show me your papers, you don't LOOK like a real American to ME" on the street.

This press release by AG Pam Bondi is a moral stain on our nation and a disgrace to the legal system.
A press release dated March 15, 2025, from the Office of Public Affairs, titled "Statement from Attorney General Pamela Bondi on Federal Judge Blocking Deportations." The statement criticizes a DC trial judge’s decision to block the deportation of alleged members of the Venezuelan criminal group Tren de Aragua (TdA). It accuses the judge of prioritizing "terrorists over the safety of Americans" and notes that TdA is represented by the ACLU. The statement argues that the ruling disregards President Trump's authority, endangers public safety, and asserts that the Department of Justice will continue working with the White House and Department of Homeland Security to address the issue. The press release ends with a call to "stop this invasion and Make America Safe Again."
