Imperative reading. "[M]ost Republicans [in Congress] know exactly what’s happening... but fear of Trump’s wrath silences them more effectively than their conservative ideology ever unified them."

@kenmartin.bsky.social The DNC should appoint a Shadow Cabinet whose members give frequent statements and press conferences to counteract Republican lies and lawlessness. Several prominent figures have called for this, including Tim Walz, Elissa Slotkin, Timothy Snyder, and Thom Hartmann.

If you live in a Republican district (as I do), call your representative today and demand that they oppose this bill, which cuts Medicaid & essential services in order to let the wealthy avoid paying their fair share. Then call them again tomorrow!

🧵 Case in point… they create a narrative out of thin air… and it’s easy to do. If you do an image search for “ms13 knuckle tattoos”, this is what you’ll see. Kilmar’s tattoo has no connection to gang affiliation, it’s just symbols meaningful to him, and it’s a very common trend at the moment.

Yes, because if they can assert Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a gang member and ship him to a concentration camp without having to prove anything in court, they can do it to you and me too. The (lack of due) process is exactly the same.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you. Senator Van Hollen lives this attitude – and planted hope in hopelessness. (I’m not crying, you’re crying.)

In 2000, the indicted war criminal Slobodan Milosevic fought to hold power. His opponents, led by a student movement called Otpor! (‘resistance’), attacked the regime with ridicule, rock music, and a willingness to be arrested. Their courage inspired others to join the fight.

Lawrence Tribe asks whether SCOTUS will stand up to Trump. I ask whether Republicans in Congress will grow a spine and honor their oath to support and defend the Constitution. They should have convicted him in 2021, but the next best time to impeach and convict is now.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.
