Tonight we learned that it was indeed Andry, the gay man sent to El Salvador because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, who an American journalist saw sobbing as guards slapped him repeatedly and shaved his head.
He is an innocent. And Trump sent him to a torture prison.
Bring them back!

While Donald Trump is attacking democracy at the federal level, we continue to see the war on voting continue in the states. We need to pay attention to both threats.

This is a small group of centrist moderates you've never heard of lead by Matt Bennett - an old, pro-capitalist white guy that used dirty tricks to tank the Dukakis campaign in 1988. His organization is called "Third Way," and he can fuck all the way off. We will NOT abandon our values.
Democrats spent one-and-a-half days cooking up a game plan for a comeback—one that includes more gun shows and capitalism while moving “away from the dominance of small-dollar donors.”

These are the GOP members of the House Ways and Means Committee--THEY'RE some of the people hiding while DOGE disrupts Medicare/Medicaid and NIH funding.
If they are YOUR representative, consider a visit to their LOCAL OFFICE this week, while they're home, to explain why they need to oversee DOGE.
