Exactly. We are all Kilmar and they are all Kilmar. Don't leave ANY of the CECOT hostages to rot in El Salvador. Bring each and every one of the men kidnapped from the U.S. and trafficked to El Salvador back to receive the due process to which they are entitled.

Nothing will ever match the cruelty of the first Trump Administration’s child separation policy, but they’re really trying hard to match it in their second term with these deportations.

Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings.

Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that.

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

Protesting for democracy in the U.S. can be empowering, but it's crucial to stay safe - especially if armed militia groups (e.g. Proud Boys, Oath Keepers) might be present. This guide provides practical tips on personal safety, de-escalation, legal rights, preparation, safe exit strategies, incident documentation, and staying informed. Each section is U.S.-specific and draws on advice from civil liberties organizations and experienced protest organizers.
Safety Guide for Pro-Democracy Protesters (Militia Presence Risk)1
Personal Safety Strategies in Hostile Environments
Use the Buddy System: Don't attend alone. Go with a friend or a group and agree on a meet-up plan if separated. A buddy can watch your back, alert others if you're harmed or arrested, and help record incidents. Let a trusted person (not at the protest) know where you'll be and when to expect you back.
Situational Awareness: Maintain "360° awareness" of your surroundings at all times.
Continuously observe who is around you - including potential aggressors or armed individuals - and note exits or safe spots. Stay alert to signs of trouble (shouting, weapon brandishing, sudden crowd movement) and move away before a situation escalates.
Plan Safe Routes and Exits: Beforehand, study an offline map of the area. Identify multiple entry and exit routes (side streets, alleys, nearby buildings) so you can leave quickly if needed. Establish a rally point with friends - a safe location to regroup if you get separated or must evacuate. Avoid parking or congregating in areas that could be blocked off.
Stay in Public, Well-Lit Areas: Stick to well-populated parts of the demonstration and avoid isolated spots. If hostile counter-protesters or militia members are present, maintain some distance and position yourself near neutral parties or clearly marked medics/legal observers. The presence of media or legal observers (like National Lawyers Guild in green hats) can sometimes deter overt aggression.

If militia members or aggressive counter-protesters show up, *stay calm, stay safe, and know your rights.* My thread includes expert guidance from ACLU, HRC, Drexel Public Safety, Indivisible, WITNESS, Georgetown Law’s ICAP, and more on how to protect yourself and others. #HandsOff

Why haven’t we heard from any Democrats or Republicans calling out the continued use of Nazi ideology by politicians? They censured Rep Al Green over being loud but aren’t bothered over hate speech?

Trans Woman Arrested, Sent to Men’s Jail For Entering Florida Capitol Bathroom “I’m not a political activist,” she maintained. “I’m just a normal college student who thinks this law is wrong.”

Police officers entered a woman's restroom to arrest a transgender woman who was washing her hands. She was taken to a men's jail and charged with trespassing. She faces up to 60 days if convicted. This isn't about safety, it's about cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trans-woma...

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

Trump’s Deportations Rely on Tattoos—It’s Bullshit. It turns out tattoos inspired by a reggaeton artist who endorsed Trump are also a marker of gang involvement.

"Adding to the inanity, the government argued in court that the fact that many of these men don’t have criminal records is precisely why they’re dangerous."

As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime.

Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government.

At minimum, there should be resignations. And prosecutions.
