Anyone in Boston an immigration lawyer or know one who can help this woman? Her husband is detained at Logan over a dismissed misdemeanor from 2017. He’s a legal resident of the US. She just asked for help an hour ago.

I'm so proud of everyone from my old neighborhood of Rogers Park in Chicago. I see what you have been and are doing. I am so proud of how organized the community is and how much more so everyone is becoming. It is inspiring. Just one example... And this is something EVERYONE can do. Everyone.

Many people need validation and one way to achieve being seen or heard is to apologize for inconsequential items. It’s a passive/aggressive mechanism where they insert a “me, myself, or I” into a conversation. Look at how your first sentence starts, “I apologize…”

The Supreme Court’s sweeping immunity decision in Trump v United States is the gift that keeps on giving. In the case of Portland and Chicago, it puts members of the military in an impossible position, and the President above the law. slate.trib.al/2PxBQqZ

Trump Wants to Use American Cities as a “Training Ground.” It’s Becoming Clear Why.

MAGA cries “Insurrection!”, setting up a dangerous standoff between the American people and the military.

I’m glad the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to a LATINA, Maria Corina Machado. She fights authoritarianism with grit, integrity, and struggles to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.
