Tonight, I will vote to block arms sales to Israel amid the famine in Gaza.

Starving children and innocent civilians to death is a moral atrocity that cannot abide the conscience of those who believe in human dignity.

The Netanyahu administration must change course.

SENATOR @warnock.senate.gov : “Are we reading the same Book? The Book I know says ‘I was hungry, and you fed me… I was a stranger, and you welcomed me… insomuch as you’ve done it to the least of these, you’ve done it also unto me.’”

I just dropped off homemade chicken salad sandwiches & Gatorade at the neighborhood food pantry. Everything I brought was taken in just minutes. Food scarcity is already a real issue. And this terrible bill will make it a lot worse for a whole lot of people....

A concentration camp, but with alligators The rollout of Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” isn't just about implementing a sadistic immigration policy. It's about showing it off

A concentration camp, but with alligators. Don't look away.

The Big Ugly Bill is hideous & we must use it to defeat the MAGA GOP next year.

But what he's doing to asylum-seekers & immigrants is where we are becoming an authoritarian regime.

The American Bar Association is suing Trump — challenging an "intimidation policy" it says the White House is using to try to sideline the country's top law firms.

No Kings 🙅🏻‍♀️

Sen. Alex Padilla: "If this is how this DHS responds to a senator with a question, I can only imagine what they're doing to farmers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country. We will hold this administration accountable."

I agree with Dalton's GOP Rep. Carpenter.

Ximena is a young woman who was brought here through no fault of her own, who only knows a life in Georgia, and has worked hard to contribute to her community. Ximena should be released.

Reuters: U.S. SUPREME COURT KEEPS IN PLACE ITS ORDER BLOCKING TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FROM DEPORTING VENEZUELAN MIGRANTS UNDER ALIEN ENEMIES ACT FOR NOW

Arresting a mayor & a judge, snatching students who dare state their opinion off the street, running roughshod over due process. These are authoritarian tactics that are un-American & ultimately render us all unsafe.

Silence is not an option. We must raise our voices, save our nation & ourselves.

Warnock: Georgia officials said they were sorry but their hands were tied, you can’t vote the first weekend of the runoff after the holiday so I decided to untie them, I sued them. And I won… They appealed asking for emergency relief. Emergency relief from what? People voting?

Pope Francis led by example, centering his life and papacy on being a voice for the less fortunate. He inspired us all to better embody the teachings of Christ: love, compassion, and justice.

Gwen and I are joining Catholics and Christians around the world in mourning his loss.

In 2015, I joined Latina & Asian aunties, many of whom were domestic workers, in the 100 Women, 100 Miles for immigration reform. They started at a detention center & walked to D.C. — where the aunties greeted Pope Francis. He saw their humanity, an act that provoked hope in the throes of despair. 💔

Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has blocked the Trump administration from deporting foreign nationals under the Alien Enemies Act. Thomas, Alito dissent.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen after being turned away from the prison holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia:
 
"I do intend to keep at this until we ensure that Mr. Abrego Garcia has his rights to due process, which is what the courts of the United States have called for."

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family.

I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

If the President can ignore court orders and send anyone he wants to a prison overseas, we are all at risk. An insult to the Constitution and to our values as Americans.

Abrego Garcia must be returned now.

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

#BREAKING: Supreme Court holds that Trump administration must attempt to “facilitate” the return of Wilmer Armando Abrego García from El Salvador, but remands to the district court to sort out exactly what the administration can and must do going forward:

< Jaime Montana Cook is at Sackets Harbor Central School. 5h • Message from the Sackets Harbor Principal As the principal of these students, I need to speak plainly. Our three students who were taken by ICE were doing everything right. They had declared themselves to immigration judges, attended court on their assigned dates, and were following the legal process. They are not criminals. They have no ties to any criminal activity. They are loved in their classrooms. Their family has worked at the nearby "Old McDonald's" petting zoo and dairy farm for 15 years. They lived in a house on the same road as a home ICE had a warrant for. The fact that ICE went door to door is unfathomable. The fact that our students were handcuffed and put into the same van as the alleged criminal from down the street is unconscionable. When I think of my third grader's experience, my stomach twists and it is hard to breathe. We are in shock-and it is that shared shock that has unified our community in the call for our students' release. We are in direct communication with our students. Let me be clear: they are not "being medically evaluated." They are not being "questioned as potential victims." Calling a detention center by another name does not change what it is. We deserve better than spin and misinformation. My teachers and my students are already hurting. Please, think about how long every hour feels for a third grader in a detention center. The wait had already been too long a week ago. I have no other agenda. Please release my students and their mother back to our community. Jaime Cook Prek-12 Principal Sackets Harbor, NY

Sackets Harbor, NY is so small that there’s one pre k-12 school with 475 students. Three of those students were disappeared by ICE.

Here is a statement published today by school principal Jaime Cook:

Protests aren’t the only tool in the anti-authoritarian toolkit, but they’re incredibly important. Protests help us see each other; they make it feel safer to refuse to obey the dictator, and make it more possible for us to organize mass non-cooperation.

It’s an essential step in the process.
