The Supreme Court just handed Trump a permission slip to racially profile Latino communities. Apparently, looking Latino, speaking limited English, or working a low-wage job is now enough to lose your Fourth Amendment rights. This ruling is dangerous, discriminatory, and we must push back—loudly.

Great analysis from @factcoalition.bsky.social. The proposed remittance tax comes with several humanitarian, data security, and illicit finance problems. Check out this interesting perspective from @jyansura.bsky.social and @zorkamilin.bsky.social

Nothing about the Bukele-Trump relationship is an accident. It is clear that the international spotlight Bukele has been under has exposed the human rights violations he has caused.

There is no democracy without due process and freedom of speech!

Alianza Americas @alianzaamericas.bsky.social · Jun 6

Let’s be clear: Bukele wants to shut down visits to #ElSalvador because international attention is exposing the truth thousands in CECOT have endured for years. We can’t stop at #Kilmar—there are 250 Venezuelans and over 85,000 Salvadorans still denied justice.

Pressure is working. While the administration paints #Kilmar's return to suit their own narrative, we know the truth. Democracy and #dueprocess is worth fighting for!

Bukele does not want anymore visits to El Salvador because this attention has exposed what thousands in CECOT are experiencing!

A judge in Vermont has ordered Tufts University student Rümeysa Öztürk immediately released from ICE detention. Öztürk has been held in a notorious prison in Louisiana. She still faces the threat of deportation, apparently in retaliation for co-authoring a piece for her student newspaper about Gaza.

This is insane and everyone involved needs to be sued into oblivion and then go directly to jail

“[DOGE staffers] went into the system and they killed off people,” Glasgow told The Daily Beast. “About 4 million people, they marked them as dead. But they’re not sure if those people were supposed to be marked as dead, so they’re sending us an email saying, ‘If these people come into the office with their identification, you can reinstate them.’”

US democracy is under strain, and the House committee tasked with justice & constitutional issues is busy *checks notes* defending billionaires' tax privacy and witchhunt against a whistleblower (already convicted). While ignoring DOGE tax privacy threats for regular folks, especially immigrants.

Trump’s campaign promises were to make life easier for families. Spending billions of dollars on criminalizing immigrants will not make our communities safer or more prosperous. This spending bill does nothing to make life more affordable for working-class people.
