BARBARA IS SCHEDULED TO BE ILLEGALLY DEPORTED TOMORROW! WE MUST CALL LOUISIANA NOW! Mike Johnson (337) 423-4232 Bill Cassidy (318) 448-7176, (337) 261-1400 John Kennedy (337) 269-5980 "Hello, my name is [YOUR NAME]. I am calling about Barbara Marques, currently detained in Louisiana. A federal court has officially acknowledged a motion to reopen Barbara's case. This means she has legal protection from deportation until the judge rules. Deporting her now would be illegal under U.S. law. Despite this, ICE has scheduled her deportation for 1969 tomorrow and already moved her to the Alexandria staging facility. This action violates the law and must be stopped. I am demanding that you intervene immediately, contact ICE, and ensure Barbara is returned to the South Louisiana facility while her case is pending. Please do your duty to uphold the law and stop this unlawful deportation."

directedbynikki URGENT UPDATE: WE NEED TO FLOOD LOUISIANA REPS IMMEDIATELY! We finally have some rare good news - the court has officially acknowledged a motion to reopen Barbara's case. This is a major step: it means Barbara Marques cannot legally be deported while the judge reviews her case. • But here's the crisis: despite this, ICE has scheduled Barbara for deportation tomorrow and has already moved her to the Alexandria, Louisiana staging facility. If ICE follows through, they will be violating federal law. - We need an absolute storm of calls and emails TODAY demanding Barbara be returned to the South Louisiana facility and not deported while her case is active. Call and email these officials immediately (CALLING IS BETTER): US Congress District 4: Mike Johnson (337) 423-4232 *MOST IMPORTANT US Senator: Bill Cassidy (318) 448-7176, (337) 261-1400 *MOST IMPORTANT US Senator: John Kennedy (337) 269-5980 Phone script + email template are in the link in our bio. Barbara has legal protection now. ICE must follow the law. We're counting on everyone to help Barbara!!!

UPDATE ON BARBARA MARQUES: ICE is attempting to deport her tomorrow despite a federal court reopening her case. Deporting her now would be illegal under federal law but ICE is trying to do it anyway. Please flood these offices with calls to uphold the law and stop Barbara’s illegal deportation.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.

He said this out loud.

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

We in the West don't see them, but REAL PEOPLE in drought and conflict zones have been killed by Musk. It's not over. DOGE is a death machine, still rolling.

You’re Not Crazy — They Just Want You to Feel That Way The gaslighting of Charlie Kirk’s legacy and why truth still matters

Violence is never justice. I condemn it without caveat. But condemning an act of violence does not mean canonizing the person who was killed. Compassion for the family does not mean sainthood for the father. Mourning does not mean whitewashing the movement he built.

It’s a new kind of Saturday Night Massacre as Trump removes an experienced prosecutor he himself put in place in hopes he can find one who will prosecute a case based on politics, not the evidence. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I have read Trump’s “war department” EO.

This is nothing. He changed nothing. He added pretend secondary titles with no power under the law.

He will make the government spend hundreds of millions for vanity labeling purposes.

If you’re in the media and you don’t harp on that, you’re failing.

Don’t. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

Hey @cbsnews.com , MAYBE FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE BLATANT LIES!!!! This is fucking insane and everyone who lives in reality knows that she is lying through her overly puffed up lips.

Spencer Cox is an embarrassment. That is all.

y’all know what one of the first nazi book burnings was right?

y’all know why they did it

y’all know trans people were one of their first targets and even the ALLIES left us in the camps when liberating everyone else

y’all see what’s right in front of you, right?

This is horrible. Attacks on the humanities are another way to destroy our future. Now is when we need the humanities the most.

It’s clear that the main goal of the Maxwell interview was to get her to say that she didn’t see Trump do anything wrong.

Which can only mean that there is something in the files that suggests that he did. Why else would she need to say that?

The interview is more incriminating, not less.

The only thing the Ghislaine tapes prove is that sex offenders stick together

Heads up: Trump now says he's going to lead a movement to get rid of mail-in ballots. He makes several inaccurate statements about those ballots as he attacks them.

Bowser: "I think I speak for all Americans -- we don't believe it's legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil."

Jan. 6 Panel Probes Donald Trump’s 187 Minutes as Capitol Attacked as Prime-Time Hearing Approaches The Thursday prime-time hearing will dive into the 187 minutes that Trump failed to act on Jan. 6, 2021, despite pleas from aides, allies and even his family.

As Trump calls the National Guard into DC for a fake emergency, let's remember that he waited 187 minutes to do it when there was a real emergency.
