In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.”
This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent.
He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

Ohio State's President is going to be appearing with Trump & Vance at the White House on the same day this is happening. Mind-boggling that OSU's Ted Carter is continuing with that appearance at a time when 11 of his own students have had their visas revoked. A shameful day for OSU.
COLLINS: Can President Bukele weigh in on this? Do you plan to return Garcia?
BUKELE: How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course I'm not going to do it. The question is preposterous
TRUMP: These are sick people

Happy Confederate Surrender Day!
At the battle of Gettysburg, Minnesota soldiers captured Virginia’s battle flag and Minnesota still has it. Virginia keeps asking for it back and each governor tells them to get stuffed.

Minnesota has a Confederate symbol — and it is going to keep it
Minnesota has a Confederate symbol in its possession. It has long caused controversy. And Minnesota is not moving it.

April 5th is First Contact Day, on which Star Trek fans celebrate the “future” date on which humanity starts to get our shit together. In Star Trek’s future, that happens when we first meet extraterrestrial life, reframing humanity as one people. We don’t have to wait until then. We can start today.

It wouldn’t seem possible that we could be living through this rapidly unfolding autocratic takeover with overt, explicit suppression of speech by the state and STILL ALSO have to put up this feverish imaginary discourse about “the fragile left” and “college campuses.” And yet. And yet.

Supporting bathroom, sports and healthcare bans for trans people means signing on to a moral panic about problems that DON'T EXIST.
When people say Democrats should "moderate" on these issues, they are suggesting that we legislate a group out of public life based on lies.

If you are in Montana and your rep voted against these bills, message and thank them. It’s one of the best things you can do.
1. Today, powerful speeches from trans representatives in Montana SJ Howell and Zooey Zephyr flipped 29 Republicans, killing anti-trans bills.
While some Dems like Newsom abandon trans people, these reps show the power of representation.
