“His argument fails even on its own terms.” 👇👇👇
Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented.

His argument fails even on its own terms.

Requiring REAL IDs and passports and birth certificates to vote?!?

Imagine if these were required to buy a gun.

Hey @padilla.senate.gov and @schiff.senate.gov
Senator Van Hollen has been doing a lot to help Kilmar Abrego Garcia, what are you doing to help Andry Hernandez Romero the gay gentleman, seeking asylum, who was taken from San Diego and thrown into the concentration camps in El Salvador?!!
Editorial: We must all advocate for Andry’s release
Gay makeup artist Andry Jose Hernández Romero sits in a notorious prison in El Salvador for no good reason.

I'm hoping there's a sea of signs at Concord MA's 250th Parade:

New Englanders, It's Our Turn to Fight Tyranny #ABlueView🧵1/3

Paul Revere didn't make it to Concord but you can: celebrate the 250th anniv. of the American Rev. on Sat: tinyurl.com/57srju74

They fought a King's tyranny then; let's peacefully protest our tyrannical King now!

A while back I mentioned I helped to build a government AI tool. DOGE "deleted" (fired) my whole org (@alt18f.bsky.social) and took the tool to become their "AI-first strategy."

But what is the strategy? What are they actually planning to do?

I’m trying to piece it together. Here’s what I think 🧵

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

“Are you worried?” That is always the first question.

“Of course I am worried,” I respond. “The president of the United States considers me an enemy and has promised retribution. I would be an idiot not to be worried. But I am not going to give in. I will continue to fight.”
I Worry, but I Fight
From Marc | Despite that worry, I cannot stop standing up for what is right. I cannot turn a blind eye to injustice.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense.

I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense

I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...
