Happy Easter to Rodney Taylor from Tucker, Georgia who sits in ICE detention. Please contact Senator Jon Ossoff and Congressman Hank Johnson to demand they work for his release.

What remains when courts no longer carry weight, when moral appeals drown in the applause of power, when a man vanishes in the name of political expediency? Then the rule of law dies, not with a bang, but with a handshake.

If they can do this to him they can do it to me or anyone else they don’t like. The only option now is active resistance.

President of El Salvador says he won't return mistakenly deported man to U.S. The Trump administration is also now claiming that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was not deported by mistake, as the Justice Department stated, but was β€œthe right person sent to the right place.”

This is wrong! Return Kilmar Abrego Garcia and process him according to the law.

Failing to acknowledge that we are in a moment of national crisis unrivaled in our history is not only denying reality it is inviting disaster. Failing to use every legal tool at our disposal to resist & preserve our freedoms is a betrayal of every past, current and future generation of Americans.

We cannot abandon this young man- a gay makeup artist sent to El Salvador's notorious prison, by a disgraced former Milwaukee cop with major credibility issues
He is Andry HernΓ‘ndez Romero.

God knows what will happen to him. Call your representatives. Call the WH.

If this administration can pluck random people off the street and deport them without due process β€” none of us are safe.

I hear Democrats upset that Democratic leadership is not riding to the moment. How about, β€œask not what your Democratic leaders can do for you but what you can do for your Democratic leaders”. It’s all hands on deck. There is no cavalry coming to save us. It’s up to us.

Loathe thy neighbor: Elon Musk and the Christian right are waging war on empathy

Sending anyone from this country to a foreign gulag, particularly without a court hearing, should rightfully end a presidency. Full stop.

I took my 2 year old son to an MLB game today for some quality dad time and he absolutely had a blast. In fact, he was sad when the game ended because he wanted to stay at the ballpark. It was a good reminder that there’s still a lot of joy in life.
