Migrant deported to El Salvador after DPS labeled him a member of Tren de Aragua without evidence, lawyer says Lawyers for Pedro Luis Salazar-Cuervo deny he is a gang member and say the DPS accusation hinges on a photo they found of him standing next to a man with tattoos.

28-year-old Pedro Luis Salazar-Cuervo, who has no known criminal record, was accused by Texas police of being in a Venezuelan gang because they found a photo of him posing with another man with tattoos, his lawyers say.

From ProPublica partner @texastribune.org:

NY17 Constituent and local social worker Emily Feiner was singled out and forcibly removed during Rep. Mike Lawler's town hall.

Yeah, those are not the issues real Americans care about.

Booker: Do you think we got the right to vote for women because a bunch of men on the House floor got together and said “on the count of three, women get the right to vote..” That’s not how it happened… Change doesn’t come from Washington. It comes to Washington.

State Terror A brief guide for Americans

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps.
This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped"

Yes, we need to speak up about Trump's terrible tariffs! Congress can fix this by passing the bipartisan #TradeReviewAct. 7 Republican and 7 Democratic Senators are co-sponsoring the bill. Thank you @therocketguy.bsky.social

Another great chat with @annabelpark.bsky.social about @kitchentablea.bsky.social - we had a brief discussion of what Jay Graber discussed at #SXSW regarding open source social media and its power to build community. It's what people actually want.

Serious question for all those who earnestly believe that the USA is a Christian nation. How is discontinuing programs of the United States Agency for International Development demonstrating the Christian ethic of doing unto the least of these?

Republican Rep. Mike Lawler who represents a swing district in NY gets booed ruthlessly after trying to use the 'waste, fraud, and abuse' line in response to voters' concerns about Medicaid cuts (via lohud)

Voting yes on cuts to Medicaid is an act of violence. Any questions?

#SaveMedicaid

@aoc.bsky.social: "They're saying cut $880 billion from the Energy & Commerce Committee. I sit on that committee. Almost the entire budget that Energy & Commerce explores is Medicaid and Medicare. There is no way they can make their math square without enormous and devastating cuts to Medicaid."

They’re going to cut Medicaid

It was lovely to meet you! So excited to get to know you. It is all about connection.

Tonight I attended my first Kitchen Table Alliance gathering. Its the connection for me. Meet me at the kitchen table.

Let's be strategic.

Let's not get baited into political violence. They're chomping at the bit to declare martial law.

Let's not get baited into shutting down the government. They're chomping at the bit to blame the recession on Democrats. #resist
