Donald Trump and Republicans are plotting to rob millions of Texans of their representation as citizens. But Democrats are fighting back.

None of this should be happening in America—but because it is, here's how you can help shore up democracy. www.bluestatedefiance.org/redistricting

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

Praying for Senator van Hollen today and for everyone who is standing up bravely against-- call it what it is-- a fascist regime.

Call your reps. Demand that they demand due process for Abrego Garcia. Do not let this abomination--couched though it may be in so many other abominations-- slide.

I’m not afraid of Bukele or any one of these Republican sock puppets holding Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. If I were in Congress right now, I’d show up with Senator Van Hollen to El Salvador to see for myself if Mr. Garcia is still alive!

It’s time for Congress to DEMAND answers!!!!!

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

👇🏾 When Tr*mp, a convicted felon, talks about "home grown criminals," he doesn't mean himself. To him, "criminals" are Black and brown people. Full stop.

This is why understanding HOW Black and brown people are treated differently by police and courts matters.

This is not a drill. This is fascism.
Trump confirms his plan to send incarcerated U.S. citizens to El Salvador. Can you hear me now?

If we want people to stop being disappeared by our immigration detention system, we need to take accountability for the fact that our criminal legal system has made this possible.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

What Trump is doing to Abrego Garcia could very easily happen to you.

They don’t want you to notice.

Hey folks are you getting “political content” admonishments from #Canva? You know, the tool that’s just supposed to make content, not suppress it. Let’s keep each other informed about this…this is so infuriating!
Canva flagged one of my historical fiction slides about an upcoming book as “political.”
If you don’t think the political climate is affecting art, you are deluded.
Art has always been political. Creativity is resistance.
When platforms label truth or Black history as risky, we must pay attention.
