STAND and DEMAND the immediate return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
BRING HIM HOME!
Abrego Garcia is a SMART Local 100 first-year apprentice who was working full-time to support his young family — before he was brutally abducted and illegally deported to El Salvador.
SMART General President…

Kinda hard to see a free and fair 2028 election where she doesn’t win by a lot.
AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

I cannot overstate how despicable the Mahmoud Khalil case is
The Government concedes he hasn’t broken any laws
But they assert he can be deported for his past, current or even EXPECTED beliefs
All based on the sole determination of Marco Rubio
Who is apparently now the head of the Thought Police

My wife and I were talking about this the other day. She thought she would be fine if this passed but from what I'm reading here she would be required to re-register and would likely need docs she doesn't have at the moment.
I suspect this won't get past the Senate, but do we trust them?!

🚨House voting on SAVE Act today, worst voter suppression bill ever considered by Congress. Could disenfranchise:
-21 million w/out access to citizenship docs
-69 million women who took spouses last name
-ends online + mail registration & voter reg drives

House Republicans are set to pass a voter suppression bill that would disenfranchise millions

One of the tired old truisms of post-Watergate Washington is “It’s not the crime, it’s the coverup.” Usually it’s both—but this coverup reflects the cult-like insistence on unreality as a sign of tribal loyalty.
