This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla.

This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

That’s what we call crazy eyes…😆

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Van Hollen: And it's also important that people understand this case is not just about one man. It's about protecting the constitutional rights of everybody who resides in the United States of America.

Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

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.

Senator Chris Van Hollen says that he hasn’t been able to meet with Kilmar Abrego Garcia nor has he been able to have a phone call with him.

He doesn’t know his health status.

Unacceptable. El Salvador needs to show proof of life!!!!!

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

Good for Harvard

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

Trump administration overrode Social Security staff to list immigrants as dead A senior executive who objected was marched out of his office and put on leave, while earlier warnings about the agency’s deaths database were ignored.

Panicked SocSec staffers: “If bad actors have access to this database, they could essentially erase people and destroy their lives.”

The Trump Administration: “Wait, really?”

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.

It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Pretty much

Rejected at her door, ICE nabs a Maryland woman in her car after smashing her window Video shows a U.S. ICE agents breaking the window of a Maryland woman, Elsy Noemi Berrios, after failing to detain her at home.

“Mommy, no. Mommy.”

Daughter captures the moment masked ICE agents smash the window of her mother's car in order to take her into custody.

The government claims the 52-year old seamstress is an associate of the MS-13 gang.

I once found a half-eaten hamburger shelved at the bookstore where I worked. So much ew.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.

We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.

When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

It’s a recalibration of economic control.

Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way.

When the dust finally settles, they will own more.

The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

Where is our humanity?
