MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️
They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador.
Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose.
No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

Fun fact: The plane delivering the 59 white Afrikaners from S. Africa was paid for by American taxpayers, including black and brown people, some of whose relatives have been trafficked to offshore prisons with no due process.

I feel failed not to learn of his passing sooner. A real loss to this world. Rest well, good sir.
Joe Don Baker really had it all in 1973. Hero in Walking Tall. Antihero in The Outfit. And one of the great movie villains, Molly in Charley Varrick.
Here's Joe Don showing Andrew Robinson a not so good time.

Could this deal which was announced two weeks ago have something to do with the plane he's getting today? Is that possible? apnews.com/article/trum...

Yesterday's date in 1918 marked the death of newpaper scion
James Gordon Bennett Jr., publisher of the New York Herald, who scandalized Manhattan society in 1877 by arriving drunk at a party for his fiance and urinating in a grand piano.
His last rasp: "It was a fireplace. Who pisses in a piano?"

I would very much like to see the DOJ's analysis of this. I'm pretty sure it boils down to, "What's anyone gonna do about it?"

There is a reason why millions of workers want to join unions.
There is a reason why greedy corporations oppose unions.
Union membership means higher wages and better benefits.
Let’s grow the trade union movement.

This is one of the worst interviews I’ve ever seen. Moran keeps trying to move on from a point Trump is CLEARLY WRONG ON and just says “agree to disagree.” Do your fucking job!
This exchange is so very telling.
Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:
"I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

The part that he's not emphasizing but that is definitely understood about this arrangement: You won't do this by choice.
Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."

Glad I got in there when I got the opportunity. I learned about organizational efforts, debates within the military, unsung heroes and the significance of songs that were sung.
I'm sorry for anyone who won't get a chance to go, especially the people cheering this.

I wish I could add to this, but ... yeah. Wow.
this guy is a world class asshole
Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.
He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.
