My name is Khary & I’m a survivor of gun violence. My mom, Joyce, took her own life w a gun on 9-8-79. I was just a toddler, too young to remember the sound of her voice telling me she loved me. Her tragic decision was influenced by the easy access she had to a gun, rather than to mental health care

Before the cross, Jesus told us to love our neighbor, feed the hungry, heal the sick, welcome the stranger, lift the poor. Today’s right‑wing “disciples” trade that gospel for tax cuts, border walls, & cruelty cosplay. Faith demands deeds, not slogans. #HappyEaster

Wannabe tough guys dragged a woman out of an Idaho GOP town hall for talking back. Now they face battery & false imprisonment charges, & their “security” firm lost its license. Spare us the free‑speech rhetoric while your goon squad lines up for mug shots. www.kivitv.com/news/six-men...

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was yanked from Maryland & caged in Bukele’s no‑rights mega‑prison after ICE blew off a court order. Sen. Van Hollen flew down to fight for his due process because the Constitution is not a hobby. Call that a “distraction” only if your spine is for rent.

I share your story. My father, I was 14. He'd still be here with proper mental health treatment (he was a combat vet), and if he didn't have easy access to a gun. It's something a child never recovers from. Bless you.

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.

Senator Chris Van Hollen @vanhollen.senate.gov · Apr 18

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

DHL is pausing all parcels over $800 to the United States because Trump’s new customs rules clogged the border in paperwork. The self‑proclaimed deal maker just hiked prices for small businesses and shoppers so he could flex on tariffs. Trade wars hit your doorstep first. bbc.com/news/article...

The alleged FSU shooter idolized Trump, claimed Rosa Parks “was in the wrong,” and soaked in a sheriff’s‑office culture that coddled white supremacy. Conservatives are already downplaying his MAGA worship—but ignoring the source won’t stop the violence atlantablackstar.com/2025/04/18/f...

Jeffrey Sachs just slapped a dunce cap on Trump’s trade cosplay: “Mickey Mouse is smarter… this is a cartoon version of economics.” Tariff tantrums jack up prices, nuke jobs, & punch allies in the face. America deserves grown‑up policy, not Saturday‑morning propaganda.

JD Vance just own‑goaled. His rant admits DHS can fly Abrego back & hold a legit removal hearing—exactly what SCOTUS ordered—but Team MAGA prefers the El Salvador dungeon photo‑op. If due process wrecks your narrative, the narrative is trash.

Implicit in the vice president's latest malevolent tweets is an admission that President Trump and his administration have so far refused to make.

34‑count felon spends Easter rage‑posting about “criminals” & “weak judges.” Sorry, #P01135809: the Constitution lets judges, not kings, call the shots. We’ll keep due process; you keep the tantrums. Trump is a thug & the furthest thing from being Christ-like. #HappyEaster

Trump’s poll numbers aren’t buoyed by wins—they float on Fox foam & meme sludge. Facts leak in; sooner or later the dam bursts. Pray it’s before the “great businessman” tanks the economy again—one recession per ego trip is more than enough.

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!!!

The choice is stark: a nation where laws protect people, or a strongman who treats them as props. The Supreme Court drew one line; voters must draw the next. Stop the wannabe dictator, defend the Constitution, keep the lights on for liberty—because ballots beat strongmen every time. Period.
