We have money for war but not to give people healthcare. We have money for war but not to help people with their housing struggles. We have money for war but not for educating our future generations. It’s disgusting.

real talk please stop referring to this community as just a workforce. they are people just like us that want to take care of their families and live without fear.

[Housing 4 All is Hot @ahouse4all]

All this money and tough military gear to terrorize immigrant communities and your rent is still going to continue to rise and your water is still going to be poisoned and your food is still going to be expensive.

All this sadistic cruelty is for nothing.

i can’t relate to a lot of yall friendship conversations because i’m not mediocre. i show up, i save birthdays, i pick up the phone, im reliable, a cheerleader, a motivator, and when i miss something important i send a gift and an apology. i have friends because i am a friend.

Trump has done *a lot* of criminal, horrible, impeachable shit.

But, if the Trump administration fails to return Garcia, or if any harm has come to him, it will be hands down the most illegal and deplorable action of any US president.

Let's be clear:

-Garcia, while a minor, fled gang targeting in El Salvador and illegally entered the US.

-While here, he eventually married a US citizen, testified against the Barrio 18 gang (even though it risked him being deported) and attempted asylum claims.

-In 2019, he was granted a "Withholding of Removal" and a work permit and so was living in Maryland legally.

-Whenever you are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, whether legally or illegally, you have inalienable rights - the very ones the President's oath of office claims to uphold and defend.

-Garcia was arrested on suspicion of gang activity, and departed with foreign prisons in El Salvador.

The problem is:

-There was no proof given.
-He had a "Withholding of Removal" which meant he could not be deported.
-The government argued they were aware of this withholding order but that he had been departed "by mistake" without any further hearing in court.

Courts had ordered the planes turnaround, an order which according to a passenger affidavit the pilots were aware of, but they were given instructions to ignore.

A Maryland court ordered him returned by no later than April 7th.

The government failed to return him.

The Supreme Court reviewed the case on April 10th and unanimously ordered that the US government must facilitate Garcia's return.

Since then Trump's administration has continued to play games, making excuses of why he cannot be returned, or failing to give updates - with many speculating that Garcia, who testified against gangs he was now in prison with, may not even be alive any more.

At the direction of the President:

-People subject to US jurisdiction were rounded up and deported without time for habeas hearings.

-Including *legal* US residents, against a judges order, who are subject to all rights and protections within the United States.

-Instructions to return the plane were ignored.

-Instructions from a state court were ignored.

-Now the Supreme Court has been ignored.

And the President who is supposed to be the most powerful man in the world, who has a duty to defend and protect those subject to US jurisdiction from wrong-doing, claims that he can't get this man back from El Salvador.

If any harm has come to Garcia, it is blood on the President's hands.

The protections he has ignored would have led to the direct harm of a US resident.

And it will forever be a stain on America, this shameful president, and on the court of John Roberts who allowed for a tyrant to exercise such authorities so repeatedly unchecked.

One thing I love about American politics is the amount of people who have never left their hometown will tell you exactly, confidently, what the world is like.

DEI only existed because white people were racist. They had the opportunity to hire based on merit, and they hired their unqualified white friends every time.

DEI isn’t racism. It’s a solution to historical racism.

[Wendell Pierce @WendellPierce]

The mass deportation of illegal immigrants is a racist purge of the Latino and Black communities. Notice no raids of the Russian community in Brighton Beach or the Irish community of Boston, where known undocumented immigrants regularly live. No European immigrant communities raided

mad at y’all for posting melania weak ass fit that bitch was dressed like the hamburglar ugly asf i hated that

[gucci mane in 2006 @wap0wner]

I'm tired of the "if we deport undocumented people, who's going to work in the fields, or clean our homes, or wash our dishes" narrative. These are actual living, breathing people with families and lives we're talking about, they're not just a source of labor.

[Courtney 🩶🖤 @wonderlandcourt]

before you praise this man, just know HE is the reason for this ban. he started it in 2020 and now he gets to come in to save the day and look like a hero. it’s still fuck trump today, tomorrow, and every day after that

[Claudia Jordan @claudiajordan]

X is so gross now. So negative, so white supremacy-ish. So rude, so callus, so fake news-ish, so violent, so anti women. So rude to black people. So hateful. It used to be fun. Now it's disgusting.

[pau @_leovenus]

i don’t regret loving anyone because i firmly believe that love is never wasted but many people did not deserve me. all i can do now is thank them for the discernment i built through them. loving the wrong people brought me into more love for myself.

and they are so right

A red senate, red house, red SCOTUS, and red executive branch. I don’t think people are understanding how much this is going to impact EVERYONE’s future.
