"Hell No, Avelo" #OneMillionRising #NoKings
Learning about Avelo airlines and them PROFITING from secret DEPORTATION FLIGHTS. They are the FIRST. And hopefully the LAST. #OneMillionRising is taking ACTION.

One of the things they are asking us to do is to talk to people at local businesses that we frequent and ask them to post signs of support of immigrants and mark employee spaces as private to prevent ICE from entering. Sign up here act.indivisible.org/signup/signs...

How is this not satire?
Chair Comer denied our request for an official trip to El Salvador to advocate for due process and the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Pretty shameful.

Good thing I don’t need Comer’s permission to get on a plane.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

The Roberts Court does its thing and gives the US government a pass to kidnap people under an 18th century law that isn't applicable in any world that exists outside of Trump's imagination.
Breaking News: The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration could continue to deport Venezuelan migrants based on a wartime powers act for now, overturning a lower court that had put a temporary stop to the deportations.
Supreme Court Overturns Block on Trump Administration’s Venezuela Deportations
The Trump administration asked the justices to weigh in after a federal judge paused the president’s use of a wartime powers law to deport Venezuelans it accused of being gang members.

There is only one acceptable decision here and so far Roberts' Supreme Court is leaning away from it.
“The Supreme Court is about to decide whether the Trump administration can exile Americans to a gulag overseas and then leave them there,” writes @adamserwer.bsky.social:
‘A Path of Perfect Lawlessness’
The Trump administration’s arguments in a high-profile immigration case have much broader implications.

If the SAVE Act becomes law, it would be the worst voting bill ever passed by Congress.
A Pivotal Time for Voting Rights
The SAVE Act and a new executive order represent some of the worst federal voting policies in U.S. history.

He longs to wear a flashy crown
And sit upon a john of gold
He's sure to flush our culture down
With crap EOs & funds on hold

He has no reason, knows no rhyme
His words assault a poet's ears
His taste shouts "Autocrat Sublime"
Will art survive the next four years?

Reprehensible.
An international graduate student at Tufts University was taken into federal custody on Tuesday outside an off-campus apartment building, the university’s president said. The university was told that the student’s visa had been terminated. nyti.ms/4hRzPq1
