I just witnessed a man dragged onto this bus after a judge did not let him explain how deportation could be a death sentence for him.
And it's happening here.

What I saw today in San Antonio immigration courts was horrifying. Everyone's right to due process is under attack.

How about the FACT that gender affirming care decreases the amount of suicides among trans youth? You people say you're pro life yet you're doing everything in your power to hurt these kids including defunding a suicide hotline specifically for them.

It was important that her friends record what happened. I'm sure that they knew they couldn't physically fight for her then, but by recording the incident, they have secured her rights for redress. This was a clear violation of her civil rights and it's good it was documented.

Fascism isn’t a couple of guys dressed in black assaulting someone exercising their right to free speech. Fascism is a whole auditorium standing by while a couple of guys in black assault a woman exercising her right to free speech.

The Trump Administration Might Just Spend $400 Million on 'Armored' Teslas Donald Trump's administration expects to spend $400 million on 'armored' vehicles made by Elon Musk's Tesla.

It’s been revealed that tRump’s State Department, under Rubio’s watch, is set to fork over $400 million for β€œarmored” Teslas. But relaxβ€”Musk, now cozy with tRump, promises there’s no conflict of interest as he calls the shots on taxpayer money.

Mitch McConnell voting no on terrible cabinet picks because he doesn’t have to run for reelection is all the proof you need that we must have term limits. You shouldn’t only have a spine because you don’t have to run again. We are breeding chicken shit power hungry electeds.

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed.

Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly.

Yet another reason he must be rejected.
