Would anyone be upset if you saw some fist fights break out on the House floor? No, it wouldn't solve the problems...but it would Goddamn sure send a clear message to the citizens of this country how pissed off our leadership is...and how tired of the bullshit run-around they're getting.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Wilmer only found out his son had been detained after receiving a phone call on March 15 from his nephew, Luis, who lives with them. That morning was their last time together; they had gone around the corner to do their laundry. Later that day, Wilmer said that his son met with a friend to get help with some errands at the American Red Cross. He learned this from Luis, who looked at the situation from inside the apartment: when his son was on his way back, just steps from his home when ICE agents stopped him. “The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, ‘No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, ‘Take him anyway.'”

That moment marked the beginning of Wilmer’s search for answers — answers he’s still waiting for.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Rebecca Williams raised this possibility in Tech Policy Press a couple weeks ago, pointing out that DOGE staff would likely get to work through the shutdown. @rebeccawilliams.info www.techpolicy.press/how-congress...

Sadly, the DOGE crisis will likely have a moment of acceleration if Congress does come to an agreement on an overall appropriations deal by March 14 and the federal government shuts down and furloughs government workers. In previous administrations, OMB and OPM have provided exceptions to all workers paid out of ITOR due to potential cybersecurity risks. This means that DOGE will have well established precedent while most federal workers are furloughed and continue their attempts to access government data and dismantle systems, perhaps with less resistance. If federal workers are furloughed in March, some may never return to work.

SBWU members and allies hold signs saying "FAIR CONTRACT NOW" and "OUR UNION IS STRONG" outside a Starbucks store, where workers hold signs and their fists up from inside the lobby.

Absolutely, 100% the right answer. You asked people to send you to DC and now you don't want to come home and own the decisions you make up on the Hill. The people are your boss, not Donald Trump (or Elon Musk). You might not get invited to some of the Beltway cocktail parties, but F that.
