This cannot stand.
At least 75% of the men Trump illegally deported to El Salvador have no criminal records. These men have been abducted and sent to a hell-hole Salvadoran “prison” that is the the equivalent of a torture-laden concentration camp. DEMAND freedom and justice for these men.

If you read the local @usatoday.com Network's Bucks County Courier Times, it's as if the #HandsOff protests with thousands of people locally - from Quakertown to Doylestown to Newtown and then down I-95 to Philly - and with millions across the country, never happened. Sad, but not surprising.

A huge crowd braved the rain Saturday to protest President Trump and Elon Musk at the Ohio Statehouse Saturday. It was one of more than 50 events scheduled for Ohio on Saturday and Sunday. Estimates of the turnout in Columbus ranged from 2,000 to 5,000.

I lived next door in Alpine, New Jersey, for years, and all I can say is this:
If people are protesting on Route 59 in Nanuet, New York, something is up. Something is seriously up. Something majorly wild is up.

Ho-ly sh*t!
This is the #HandsOff protest right now in Nanuet in #NY17, sponsored by @indivisrockland.bsky.social.
And this video is of just *one* of the four corners at the intersection where this rally is being held.
There’s got to be a thousand people here.
Never seen anything like this.

This is the last time I’m going to post about this because it just makes me sob each time.
My brother died last year from cancer he got as a result of the toxic burn pits in Iraq.
That the same government that put him and others in harm’s way would turn its back on them now is treason and murder.

Keeping America's promise to our veterans is personal to me—from my dad's service during WWII, to interning at the Seattle VA during the Vietnam War, to the stories I hear each & every day.
By firing over 80,000 VA workers—Trump is breaking that promise.

Much of the focus on today's events will probably be the large rallies in big cities
But make no mistake
It is the smaller rallies
The local rallies
That will be the backbone of this movement
