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.

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.

First they came for the innocent man deported to a Salvadoran gulag on an “administrative error” they falsely claim they’re powerless to reverse, flouting court orders even from the Supreme Court — and I spoke out, because I know how the damn poem ends.

If you take down a Confederate memorial that was literally dedicated to promote white supremacy, that’s “erasing history.”
But if you hide pictures of accomplished women, that’s just fighting wokeness.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

If Democrats don't IMMEDIATELY point to this crash as the result of Trump allowing Musk to drive out FAA head Mike Whitaker on January 20, leaving it with NO appointed acting FAA in his stead, & installing an INCOMPETENT as Def. Secretary, they should just stop going in to work.
IT'S TRUMP'S FAULT.

I only post things about terrible companies on social media because I have a decent sized following and figure I might as well use it for good. It sometimes works. I’ve had companies cave after I tweeted about them. I’m also warning other people about terrible companies.

Been asking folks to say “pro-forced birth” rather than “pro-life” (or even “anti-abortion”) for almost a decade now.
JD Vance in his FIRST public address as VP says he “wants more babies in America”.
I cannot express how much I dislike this man.

To forever have your name and legacy tied to injustices done to you, to bare your trauma on the national stage, only to face more injustices and systematic betrayal—that’s the pattern replicated for victims everywhere.

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...
You Blamed DEI for Hurting Your Career. Now What?
For people who pin their failures on diversity, corporate America’s DEI retreat removes a barrier—or maybe an excuse.
