Sotomayor: Trump knew his birthright citizenship order was unconstitutional, so he went after the universal injunctions.

Please share.
I looked this up, and yes, it is real. I've included an article about it in the comments.
Please share for those who may need it.
Thank you!

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️

They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador.

Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose.

No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

SCOTUS says to “facilitate” contact between this wrongly kidnapped individual and an attorney.
What definition of “facilitate” will the DOJ make up to ensure we never see this person again?
BTW-He came to the US legally.
EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THIS EVIL TRUMP REGIME BELONGS IN PRISON!

More Republicans are signing up to sponsor the SAVE Act each month. Now is the time to call your representatives to let them know you don't approve of disenfranchising millions of people to keep a very small number of fraudulent votes from being cast (and most often caught).
MAGA Republicans are fast-tracking the SAVE Act, requiring a passport or birth certificate with a DL or State ID to register. Names on documents must match exactly.

It will block millions of married women who changed their names—and marriage certificates won’t count.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Apparently almost no one sent to El Salvador was a violent criminal. This is a tactic to create fear and the perception of progress. These men need to be brought back to the US to complete their legal process.

This building is called the Black Diamond and it's the Royal Danish Library. They definitely celebrate Hans Christian Anderson at many shops and libraries. I grew up on "The Ugly Duckling", "The Little Mermaid", and "Thumbelina". denmark.dk/people-and-c...

One of my favorite memories in Copenhagen was when I accidentally wandered into the wrong building while looking for a castle tour. They were so helpful in giving me directions and then I asked what building I was in. The man said, "Oh, this is Parliament."

I love the resilience in Denmark. Life doesn't stop because it's cold or dark. They bike in all weather. They swim in all weather (even naked which was a surprise to my Puritan immersed sensibilities). I was only there a week, but it did help shift my perspective. #getyourpassport

I loved visiting Copenhagen because it showed me the difference social programs can make in the lives of people, even in a very populated city. Investing in people, valuing all workers, and protecting health are ideals for many of the countries Trump is fighting with now. #Denmark #standwithallies

Start ordering your paperwork now if you don't have all of it because you will have to fight for your right to vote in 2026. It looks like Republicans will try to make a birth certificate not enough.
Trump seeks to mandate proof of citizenship in voter registration
The order tests the power of Trump's authority and would require voters using a federal form to show proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. It's sure to be tested in court.

This is a chilling attack on free speech. Criminalizing dissent is straight out of the tyrant's playbook.
NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.

Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.

His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

Many more people would be alive today if Trump had never been in charge. He didn't start the hatred but he fanned the flames. This beautiful girl's death is so tragic.

This was from my trip to New Harmony, Indiana. The part I didn't capture was when the hummingbird turned to face me, looked me up and down, and then flew back to the woods.
