Gotta give some credit to @vanhollen.senate.gov for taking the initiative to fight for Kilmar last year, when other Dems were cowering on immigration issue also, shout out to total badass @cnewman.bsky.social, lawyer for Kilmar’s family & @ndlon.bsky.social legal director

We are going to savor this one. Our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is freed of these outrageous, vindictive charges. It’s a good day.

My timeline is flooded with politicians and celebrities mourning the loss of a late night TV show at the hands of Trump. If only the algorithm rewarded that same outpouring of solidarity for communities losing neighbors to deportations.... #colbert

Yesterday, Blanche refused to say Trump's $1.8 BILLION slush fund wouldn't be used to pay off convicted Jan 6 rioters & child molesters. I'm offering an amendment to prevent these criminals from getting a penny of your tax dollars. Will Republicans send your money to criminals & pedophiles?

Don’t sleep on “let’s have that debate” from a guy who gutted a national newspaper

How is this not grounds for impeachment?

I love that Paxton’s endorsement was earned by his apparent “Loyalty to the Cause of Greatness.”

Mark Cuban stands behind Trump as Trump speaks on behalf of stealing from taxpayers. This is why you don't go to the White House to do events with Trump -- you end up disgracing yourself.

This is theft. It is a high crime and misdemeanor as defined by framers of constitution. Every elected member of congress should be asked whether they consider it to be an impeachable offense. www.cnn.com/2026/05/18/p...

NEW: We are out with the first and only report about ICE detention in Ohio, comprehensively, during Trump's first 15 months of his second term. 8,000 Ohioans have been locked up in jails in our state. Read more here: ohioimmigrant.org/blog/ice-act...

Ruth Lopez, a lawyer in El Salvador and anti-corruption investigator with a human rights NGO who was named one of BBC’s 100 most inspiring women, has been imprisoned by the Bukele government for a year, under a suspension of civil liberties supposedly targeting gangs

impeachable offense www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

this is pretty duplicitous www.nytimes.com/2026/05/16/b...

I'm just saying, this doesn't look the ad of a progressive.

Keep talking, Gregory Bovino www.youtube.com/embed/JlW5Qz...

Well there you go: FOX NEWS amplifying Mayorkas's horses--t comments amplifying FOX NEWS lies on immigration. When we talk about the _bipartisan war on immigrants_ which led to Trumpism, use this minor episode as one of many examples showing how we got here. noticias.foxnews.com/media/ex-bid...

NDLON release: California Appropriations Committee Advances Landmark Bill to Uncover The Truth About Immigration Raids at Big-Box Stores ndlon.org/california-a...

This would strike me as grounds for a boycott..

Interesting headline. If it was me, I probably would have noted that this guy is the former head of a FOR-PROFIT PRISON COMPANY. (With friends like NBC, who needs FOXNEWS?)

And FYI, Abrego Garcia is NOT a convicted gang-banging rapist. Kash Patel lied to Congress about that, too.

Terrible

These guys are negatively polarizing all of Bluesky to like Hasan Piker.

Some thoughts from a very disaffected California voter about state of governor race: Becerra: 2 months ago, he was "rallying" with less than ten people. Now he is frontrunner, inheriting Swalwell machine/voters lol. "It's my turn" is his pitch. Also, "I'm not awful." Big Biden 2020 vibes...

👀

It certainly appears they made a political decision to ratchet up the threats and rhetoric this week. One left to wonder why....

Wow. Chaos on the Tennessee House floor. Tennesseans yelling in the gallery and Democrats locking arms in one final stand, as Republicans vote to advance new congressional maps that will carve up the state’s only majority-Black congressional district.

WADR, sir, Dems lost a net of 1K seats (Congress, governors, state legislators) during your 8 years. Maybe stop trafficking in RW talking points is step 1 to recovery.

Not wrong. Trump now domiciled in Florida.

Don't think of an elephant, huh Justice Roberts? The guy runs the Supreme Court's legitimacy into a ditch, and he thinks this will help? Keep talking, Judge... apnews.com/article/supr...

obscene

lmao - is this supposed to be a comforting thought?

That's it. If @laloalcaraz.bsky.social isn't going to get the Pulitizer Prize he deserves, it's time to create the LALO ALCARAZ PRIZE for best illustrated political commentary. Will be back at this time next year with the winners...

A perfect fit in for all the wrong reasons: “I’m excited to join @thirdway.bsky.social at a moment when the country urgently needs an immigration debate grounded in seriousness instead of slogans. Americans want an immigration system that works—a border that is controlled..." (1 of 2)

As an aside, it's kind of hard to take _anything_ Solicitor General Sauer says seriously when you remember that he was the one in Supreme Court arguing to overturn the election results of the 2020 election.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson: "I am giving [the racist comments from Trump] the worst possible meaning." Sauer: "The Court should conclude the comments are unilluminating" #SaveTPS

Justice Sotomayor finally bringing the antecedent facts into the case: Quotes Trump's comments about "shit hole countries," "poisoning the blood" etc... #SaveTPS

Wow. Less than 10 minutes into the argument, and the jig is up already. Trump admin isn't just trying to de-document the people they accused eating cats and dogs, they are trying to invalidate the TPS statute entirely. #SaveTPS

With very ominous language, Justice Elena Kagan says that today’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais ends the Supreme Court’s “now-completed demolition of the Voting Rights Act.” 6-to-3 vote in favor of white voters who challenged a Black-majority district in La. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Kind of a weird headline from Axios about a case seeking to stop the largest mass stripping of legal status from migrants in American history. (The de-documenting of people Vance accused of eating dogs). But sure let's frame it as "Migrants blame Kristi Noem"... #SaveTPS

I’ve been exposed to the same Tom Steyer ad three times today while on line: “I’ve been in enough corporate board rooms to know a crook when I see one” is a hilarious, ironic self own. For all the consultants he has on his payroll, not one of them has told him this?

“This is a dramatic curtailing of immigration from Cuba" said @davidjbier.bsky.social, author of the study featured in this Miami Herald article. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Something just flashed on my computer screen about Kid Rock** speaking at the Pentagon, I googled it to make sure it was true (it is), and now it is sinking in that Trump Derangement Syndrome is in fact a real thing; and I think I have it. ** not sharing link because I think it's contagious.

I continue to be absolutely dumfounded by the amount of ostensible progressive colleagues who are supporting the billionaire in the California governor race. www.capradio.org/articles/202...

"Should Democrats Appear with Third Way?" is the question politicians should be asking themselves after this debate. Really well done, @danieldenvir.bsky.social.
