If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.
This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

10 Democrats voting for this budget bill is so mind numbingly tone deaf and out of touch that I’m trying to quell the anger of 5000 suns.
For context, this bill was so cruel, it gave Democrats at least until 2028 to campaign how horrible it is. How do we do that when Democrats passed it?

DOGE has seized access to huge troves of sensitive personal and national security information – and can’t even set up its own website securely.
When DOGE fails to protect that data, it puts us all in danger.
