This administration sent 200+ fathers, sons, and husbands to be tortured in a foreign prison for the rest of their lives. 9 in 10 have no criminal record. None received any due process.
If you *aren’t* outraged, you need to check your fucking humanity.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

WOW: @miamiherald.com reveals that a person imprisoned in El Salvador had LEGAL REFUGEE STATUS.
He entered the USA legally in January and was detained because of his tattoos, EVEN THOUGH he had previously passed a full background check.
Without warning, he was sent to El Salvador on March 15.

I’d run counter programming highlighting the people who have been hurt by policies enacted in this term, saying what you’re doing to help them, and giving ordinary people direct, specific actions they can take to help those harmed and stymie Republican power.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

The Trump admin is trying to un-fire nuclear safety workers — but can’t figure out how to reach them.
The workers, whose agency oversees the nuclear stockpile, had been fired and lost access to their government emails. The admin doesn't have their new contact info. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Here's something Dems can consider doing right now: Band together and tell Trump and the GOP that they will not get *a single vote* for any legislation or nominee until he ends Elon Musk's illegal mission to gut our government.

Back in the 1990s, politicians and church leaders pushed for faith groups have access to federal funds. Now some evangelical see that as a woke conspiracy

Empathy for immigrants sounds like Christianity 101. Here's why some say it's a sin.
(RNS) — A small but influential group of evangelicals argues that enforcing the law is as important as mercy, and has come to see Christian charities as the enemy.
