They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.”

So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances…

It was always a lie.

To Alaskans:

Today is Juneteenth...it commemorates the effective end of slavery in the United States.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?

It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. 

It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Abrego Garcia’s lawyers are back in court with a brief that unstintingly puts the government on a collision course with the courts’ authority. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Vladimir Putin is a sworn enemy of the United States.

Appeasement was never going to work.

Why is that so difficult to understand?

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

U.S. Spy Agencies Are Getting a One-Stop Shop to Buy Your Most Sensitive Personal Data The government wants to build a centralized platform where spy agencies can more easily buy private info about millions of people.

U.S. intel agencies are building a centralized portal to buy Americans’ personal data—no warrant needed. Location, browsing, even politics. Congress failed to stop it. Privacy is being sold off in bulk, and civil liberties are on the line. #PrivacyRights

Damn Right ➕ More!

There is a reason why millions of workers want to join unions.

There is a reason why greedy corporations oppose unions.

Union membership means higher wages and better benefits.

Let’s grow the trade union movement.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

None of us will forget their inaction.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Everyone that sides with Trump ends up in a bad way. Everything he touches turns to shit.

Concentration Camps and the Deportation of American Citizens There is no limiting principle for disappearing people into the Bukele gulag.

"I know what you’re thinking: That’s not possible. The U.S. government cannot snatch a citizen off the street, take him to an airport, and rendition him to a gulag in El Salvador without recourse. Let me explain to you why Trump could do exactly that."

"If you can prove someone's a gang member or has committed a crime or is violent, round them up, put them on a plane, get them out. But you have to prove that, right?" Right?


Rep. Jason Crow joins @timmiller.bsky.social on the latest Bulwark Podcast:

60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75% of the Venezuelans the U.S. sent to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Trump officials admitted to an “administrative error” when they deported Abrego Garcia — a legal resident with no criminal record.

A judge ordered Garcia be returned, but Trump is fighting it in court.

Garcia now sits in a prison in El Salvador.

The cruelty is staggering.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you.

We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

Cost of GOP tax giveaways to corporations and the rich:

Extending the Trump tax cuts — $4.2 trillion/10 yrs
Restoring expired corporate tax breaks — more than $1 trillion
Additional Trump-proposed tax breaks — up to $5 trillion

“The party of fiscal responsibility” is full of it.

The Trump-Musk war against workers continues. Last night, Trump issued a blatantly illegal executive order essentially destroying AFGE & NTEU, the unions representing federal employees.

The Oligarchs don’t like unions. We do. Let’s stand together against this assault on workers.

AOC: In every single stop that Bernie and I have had in the past couple of days… every single stop has completely blown out all attendance projections.
