21. So even if Garland could have shaved six months off the timeline, there'd still be no trial before the election, and if somehow there could have been, SCOTUS would have killed the case at the second interlocutory immunity appeal. 21/

Every human soul has been through some kind of pain, or grief. And so we can recognize it in each other. When we do, in general, we don't first ask "which party do you belong to?". We simply offer an ear, a shoulder, support. It's what MAKES us human. Don't let yourself be stripped of compassion!

Prisciliano Trejo Ricano begged for a doctor for a week while he coughed up blood. Nobody came. He slipped into a coma… so ICE “released” him and said he’s not their problem. He died July 24. That’s not policy. That’s a body dump with paperwork. F*ck ICE. F*ck Trump.

in USA, more people die from getting kidnapped by ice than die from shark attacks

𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚🚨 Prisciliano Trejo, aged 29 becomes the 50th person to die in #ICE custody. He was denied medical care until it was too late. His family was denied the ability to see him when he was finally sent to the hospital. This thread is one you must spend time on. We cannot ignore the atrocities!

1/2 Hit this week with a tsunami of texts from people running for office. 20 or more a day. This slapped me in the face: Buckley and Citizens didn't just enable the rich to seize control of the democratic process it also forces the people to pay for their democracy. Sorry originalist

Have posted before about the difficulty of the legal profession taking gov lawyers to task as state bar association follow a guideline not to "police" the behavior of gov lawyers under the presumption that gov agencies will police their own. Not now. This guy at DHS puts the profession TO SHAME.

News outlets that covered the US-Saudi nuclear deal without mentioning that Jared Kushner, Trump’s top foreign policy advisor, is getting paid by the Saudi government: WSJ NYT AP Reuters CNN NBC ABC CBS The Guardian Semafor Washington Post Fox News New York Post BBC Newsweek MS NOW

A nuclear deal for the Saudis. A media blackout for Kushner’s corruption.

On Wednesday, the Trump administration signed a 30-year nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia that paves the way for the kingdom to enrich its own uranium.

Please someone explain to as if I'm a five year old )notusing the word "deference" or the terms "abject terror of being banned" or "sniveling sycophantic behavior") why the WH press would have a dinner with DT as the guest after the way he and his administration treat them and their coworkers.

19-year-old Pvt. Isabella Gonzales died defending this country. Think about that while politicians demonize immigrants and terrorize Latino communities. Americans with names like Gonzales have always fought, bled, and died for this nation. RIP to her and Lt. Tyler Feehan. 🇺🇸

Pentagon shares the names of two US servicemembers KIA Friday and Saturday in the Iranian attack on the

RIP

1/4 Tom Homan, the border czar, says ICE won't kill you if you just comply with their vehicle stops. And if they were wrong in stopping you, you can go to court. Just comply with: Unmarked masked thugs pulling people out of their cars and hogtying them. Detention in a states 1000 miles away or ...

Calling BS on the narrative advanced by Homan and others about why no body cams were on the ICE officers killing civilians. They posit: no funding for them until the recent passage of specific funds for them and takes time to implement. Jeez, ICE already had more $$ than any other LE agency. Goons.
