I’m a journalist, a storyteller, a poet, a writer. The best part of my day is when I get to sit with a new friend and watch their eyes light up as we get to the heart of the interview.

To clarify, all Democratic members of Congress should interrupt proceedings until Garcia is returned. #civildisobedience
To all the #democrats saying you support #garcia and his immediate return to the US, words are NOT ENOUGH.

Stand up like #Booker. When #Congress returns from recess, show up and interrupt congressional proceedings until Garcia is returned.

How you holding up under the crushing weight knowing people are being disappeared from American streets?
Not good? Real bad?

Same.
Big same.

Trump erroneously claims he can remove existing regulations without public notice or comment.
Authoritarianism 101.
Trump directs agencies to quietly repeal regulations — without public notice
The memo appears to rely on a misinterpretation of a recent Supreme Court ruling.

Act blue & Indivisible appear to be two groups at the top of the list. An FBI spokesperson declined to comment when asked about potential investigations into the organizations. But White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt did not downplay the threat. Elias Law Group is representing the groups.

When Donald Trump inevitably dies while taking a shit in the oval office bathroom, Karoline Leavitt is going to spend weeks telling the press corp he is still alive, even after his funeral and Vance is sworn in as president.

The constitutional crisis is here.

The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador.

American women friends. Are you aware one of the policies listed in the SAVE Act, the GOP are pushing through, is that women’s birth certificate names must match your current name. All of it. Changed your name when you got married? You won’t be able to vote.

Call your Congress members!

They looked the Gestapo in the eye and lived through the Holocaust by hiding. They told me their stories last week.

They said we have to help each other. “If it could happen in Germany, it could happen anywhere.” They said, “Never again.”

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Without even holding a preliminary hearing, a Mississippi court ordered a newspaper to remove an online editorial that criticized the alleged backdoor actions of a local government body.

Read through the thread. The court’s actions are unconstitutional.
Wow: City of Clarksdale, Mississippi got a court order yesterday directing a newspaper to delete an editorial criticizing city officials -- without a hearing. Here's the TRO issuing the prior restraint:

Sometime after Senator Mark Warner posted a video about he voted “no” for RFKJr while not mentioning the coup, I forgot how drive-thrus work. I bypassed the ordering screen entirely and drove right up to Window #1 with a smile and a “hey!” Everyone involved was bewildered, but I got some fries.

Today, I met a stranger who said to me, “Once you change what you have, that’s it. You can’t go back.”

For context, he was talking about one specific local issue.

But, man. I’ve sat and pondered his words this afternoon. Even in our outrage, we must move forward with care.
