Need this every time

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family.

I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

Huge surge for AOC here, she’s never even polled close to these numbers before. The anti-oligarchy tour is the obvious explanation if real.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

DHS has kidnapped another Palestinian legal permanent resident, solely for his noble activism against the genocide. They targeted him at his appointment to finally become a US citizen. This cruelty must end. Free Mohsen now!

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

Yet ANOTHER story of a Venezuelan man ripped away from his family in the U.S. because of his tattoos; a tattoo of a rose and a crown. That’s it.

It’s been three weeks and his wife and kids have no idea what happened to him. Like others, El Salvador is holding him incommunicado.

"Ideas"

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

oh my god -- Comer thinks "editorial standards" literally refers to standards for editorials and is corrected by the NPR head

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Horrifying. Disappearing and targeting students with legal status over peaceful political speech is unconstitutional and a clear violation of due process and free speech.

Another blatant act of authoritarianism by the Trump Administration.

Rumeysa must be released.

I don’t think there’s ever been a more appropriate time for this in the six years of its existence

[Rashida Tlaib @RashidaTlaib]

More heat for using a group chat than for the bombing itself.

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

The Rafah crossing, where sick and wounded Gazans congregated to be evacuated, was bombed relentlessly. The intention to kill the already wounded is clear. The criminality is palpable. The complicity of the US-European rulers is mind numbing.

[Kelsey Piper @KelseyTuoc]

This is even worse than I imagined from the summary. They snatched him off the street and detained him overnight even though he was carrying his ID and social security card proving his US citizenship on him the whole time.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

With Elon in charge, SSA clawed back $5,201 from an 82-year-old constituent of mine, Ned, who was falsely labeled as dead.

Ned struggled to correct this mistake because Elon is firing SSA staff and shuttering offices.

This is real waste, fraud, and abuse—thanks to Republicans.

More great stuff from the “pro worker” administration

[Patrick Jaicomo @pjaicomo]

Due process is important, even if it protects bad people.

[Grant @grantdminer]

Last week, I was expelled from @Columbia for protesting the U.S.-backed genocide in Gaza. As president of @SW_Columbia , Columbia’s student workers union, I was also fired from my job. The Trump administration is pushing their narrative. Here’s the real story. 🧵

Protests are effective if you have a popular conception of the "next step" beyond protesting, which we do not.

Is it labor strikes? Shutting down crucial government or capital activity through occupation? Something else?

Without an answer, protest just isn't a compelling action

[Jared Cook @jkimballcook]

if the president can deport a green card holder with no due process, he can deport you, a citizen, because without due process you will not get a chance to prove that you are a citizen with the right not to be deported
