Thank you, Sen. Van Hollen, for standing up not just for Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his family but for every American who believes in due process.
We can't stop speaking out until he is home and this administration is forced to stop its horrific practice of kidnapping people without charge or trial.

Nobody from Target can explain why they thought ending DEI programs and cutting ties with Black businesses would have no impact on Black consumers spending money in their stores. They knew we'd stop. They simply underestimated the impact of us cutting them off. That's why it's still "no" for me.

As a lawyer, I can tell you why Abrego Garcia must remain in El Salvador. If he were free, he could sue me for defamation and win.

Senator Van Hollen’s commitment to the Abrego Garcia case isn’t performative. Wearing an overnight maxi pad on your ear after an “assassination attempt” is performative.

Van Hollen Holds Media Availability at Dulles Upon Return from El Salvador
YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen
I went to El Salvador hoping to meet with Kilmar and check on his well-being, and I had the chance to do that last night.
Our courts have been clear: this was an ILLEGAL abduction. I’m speaking now about my meeting with Kilmar and our work to bring him home:

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.
This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit.
ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

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!!!

Once again: everyone who spent any time around Trump in the 80s and 90s during his “real estate mogul” era said that if you look him straight in the eye and tell him to go fuck himself he disengages and immediately starts looking for an exit.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help

Popular meme format, grandma labeled with "bluesky's public launch was one year ago today." Younger person helping her labeled with "sure grandma let's get you to bed."
happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been!
with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

Anyone protesting the Trump Administration will be suspended from X.
All anti-Trump drama can go to a liberal echo chamber like Threads, Reddit, BlueSky, Instagram, and Facebook.
Welcome to Twitter where you to can be suspended simply for being against fascism

Is it just me or does it feel like democrats fought harder to shut down protests against genocide in Palestine across colleges suppressing free speech than they are fighting Elon Musks and Trump's coup.

Nothing to see here. Just the world's richest man, technically still just a private citizen, threatening to arrest democratically- elected officials.
This is what oligarchy looks like.
Fun historical fact and this may be uncomfortable for many but….
Once you peacefully install a fascist oligarch you cannot peacefully remove them.

Government to detail $1.3B
border security plan today....
So lets recap:
- Trump announces tariffs.
- Allies turn against the U.S., launch boycotts on U.S. products and boo us at events
- Markets nosedive
- Trump caves
The "deals":
- Mexico agrees to do what they were already doing
- Canada agrees to do the same things they always do to help the U.S
