Free busses...or masked police-state goons rounding up law-abiding workers and residents, separating them from their families, and sending them to gulags.

Tell me which outrages you more.

Fifth generation Angeleno here. I am not afraid of undocumented seamstresses reporting to work every day in the garment district.

I’m terrified of secret police in tanks rolling down residential streets with machine guns disappearing people without due process.

I hope this helps!

Watching LAPD officers aim less than lethal directly at protesters is like watching the LA city budget get diverted in real time to lawsuit payouts

This is how those of us of a certain age first learned about April 19, 1775.

Still inspires.

This is:

(a) correct;

(b) a demonstration of Van Hollen's political skills, which are stronger than most of us realized;

(c) a sign to other politicians that bold action will bring outsized attention, as it has with Booker and AOC.
Van Hollen details why he thinks the government of El Salvador is making a huge mistake in turning itself into a concentration camp for Trump

Wow, this is the first time we've heard this number. Previous reporting suggested it was $6 million. So now it's $15 million of U.S. taxpayer dollars to imprison people in El Salvador without trial.
Van Hollen says he learned that Trump Admin agreed to pay El Salvador $15million to detain the men they sent there. He is aware that there is a "document that memorialized the payments" but he has not seen the document itself.

They tried to burn a US governor and his family and the president of the United States has said nothing.

There are some people on this site who don’t think anyone should be experiencing joy right now due to Trump facism.

Baby, joy is resistance. If we don’t feel moments of joy then we become completely demoralized, and then we’re incapable of fighting. Which is what they want.

liberal american jews getting swept away in the moral panic about campus antisemitism and purported terror ties really need to hear this because the admin is setting us up as the fall guys for their agenda and y'all are walking us right into it
I don't care what side of the Israel-Palestine conflict your sympathies lie on, snatching up people with a valid student visa for the crime of writing an OpEd is naked fascism and if you don't oppose this you are a threat to this country's most basic values
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too?

🚮
My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.

My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.

I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
 
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

Upstanding Americans feel the shame of the degenerate spectacle yesterday in the Oval Office but can console themselves that the values and institutions we took the lead in building, now upheld by the free states of Europe, can uphold our values until America can beak free of its current captivity.
