welcome to the resistance [grits teeth so hard I crack a filling] David Brooks

But seriously, better fucking years late than never

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

A plea.

Can we stop declaring this a “constitutional crisis?”

It’s bigger.

It’s a crisis about fundamental American ideals and structures.

“Constitutional crisis” makes it sound like an abstract lawyerly crisis

It’s bigger.

Free Kilmar Abrego Garcia now.

Not for nothing, but how, exactly, is it legal to send people for *punishment* in a foreign prison (esp with no due process)? Were the funds being used for it appropriated for this purpose? I feel this has just become a thing no one questions

This is Trump “facilitating” the return of Abrego Garcia thanks to the vague SCOTUS order.

Andrew Rossman, a lawyer for Abrego Garcia:
 
"The rule of law won today. Time to bring him home."

Free American citizen Abrego Garcia!

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND KILMAR ARMANDO ABREGO GARCIA, et al., Plaintiffs, v. KRISTI NOEM, Secretary, United States Department of Homeland Security, et al., Defendants. * * * * * * Civil Action No. 8:25-cv-00951-PX * *** ORDER The Supreme Court's April 10, 2025 decision in Noem v. Abrego Garcia, 604 U.S.-No. 24A949, affirmed this Court's Order at ECF No. 21 (the "Order"), and directed that on remand, this Court clarify its use of the term "effectuate," according proper deference to the Executive Branch in its conduct of foreign affairs. See Slip Op. at 2. To this end, the Court hereby amends the Order to DIRECT that Defendants take all available steps to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia to the United States as soon as possible.

BREAKING: Judge Paula Xinis issues an order following tonight's Supreme Court ruling, ordering the government to "take all available steps to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia to the United States as soon as possible." [1/2]

Background at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/breaking-s...

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.

UPDATE: DOJ trying to cancel today's Abrego Garcia hearing and delay filing a response to the judge's order until next week.

Who's got plans for Saturday, April 5?

I sure as hell do.

She saw family in Lebanon. Now this Brown Medicine doctor is being held at Logan for deportation. Dr. Rasha Alawieh flew into Logan Airport Thursday after visiting family in Lebanon. She's being detained now at Logan without legal counsel.

They're trying to deport my colleague from the med school and holding her without counsel. She was coming back from a visit to her family. If there are ways to help I'll let you know. www.providencejournal.com/story/news/l...

trump has bruises on his hands, he drags his leg and is stumbling on the fucking stairs, clown boy is falling apart.

You know the media would be all over this if President Biden were falling with bruises and shit.

WHERE IS THE COVERAGE?

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

With Democrats like these, who needs Republicans?

Thinking today of all the women in my life who are sisters, friends, mentors, neighbors, colleagues, leaders, inspirations all, and how grateful I am for them.

Proud to be a woman.

Happy International Women's Day!

Who else wants to see trump forced to apologize publicly to President Zelensky? 🤚

happy international women's day to trans women in particular

Not watching SOTU but read what happened and donating to @algreen.house.gov.

One by one, every Dem should heckle like Green and be proudly thrown out by him.

Not sure why all these Dems showed up tbh. They should have followed @aoc.bsky.social's lead and stayed away.

NEW: An anonymous source has told me that because of the suspension of government purchase cards, a VA hospital is unable to buy supplies like bleach and batteries.

BREAKING: Representative AOC has just announced that she will NOT lend legitimacy to trump's lies by attending his lie-filled speech tonight.

BRAVO, Congresswoman. 👏👏👏

I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.

Rep. Al Green is a goddamn hero.
