- Reposted by Jack Van SullenThey set fire to a hotel where refugees were forced to live, attacked mosques and homes, stopped people driving into an area if they weren’t white. “grievances” remember violent racism is always our fault
- Reposted by Jack Van SullenIs there anything more apt than a business that forms and sells itself as a gateway to leisure and pleasure. A cheap airline to whisk middle America to cheap beach resorts. That then loads those same planes with imprisoned and degraded migrants being forcibly removed from their home and families.

- Reposted by Jack Van SullenHasan being detained by ICE as an American citizen to be questioned on his beliefs regarding Hamas or the Houthis should be a chilling regardless of your politics. The new McCarthyism is here and it's for speaking out against genocide

- Reposted by Jack Van Sullenone lesson the Trump folks have learned is that the media will almost never say someone is “corrupt” or did something “illegal” — they’ll only ever say that questions have been raised. which means that it makes more sense to do something blatantly illegal than to stop halfway
- Reposted by Jack Van SullenSo many layers of corruption.

- Reposted by Jack Van SullenIf Trump is serious about making real change rather than just issuing a press release, he will support legislation I will introduce to ensure we pay no more for prescription drugs than people in other major countries. If we come together, we can get it passed in a few weeks.
- Reposted by Jack Van SullenI mean, don’t all libraries have $400 million luxury jets in their collection?
- I'm still not clear why the @nytimes.com went along the idea that a presidential library owning a jet for the personal use of the ex-president was anything that real presidential libraries do. Weird.
- Reposted by Jack Van SullenA huge portion of this, from on the ground reports, is judges “pretermitting” asylum applications — denying them without allowing them the hearing they are entitled by law. The Trump admin told judges they could do this and they’re off to the races. I’ve heard *infuriating* stories of it so far.

- Reposted by Jack Van Sullen“The notion that I or any of my colleagues ‘body slammed’ armed federal officers is absurd. DHS is lying because they know their agents were out of line.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...
- Reposted by Jack Van SullenA group of Quakers are marching more than 300 miles to demonstrate against the Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants. Organizers of the march say their protest seeks to show solidarity with migrants and other groups that are being targeted by the administration.
- Reposted by Jack Van SullenDonald Trump’s termination of Register of Copyrights, Shira Perlmutter, is a brazen, unprecedented power grab with no legal basis. It's surely no coincidence he acted less than a day after she refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models.
- Reposted by Jack Van SullenKilmar Abrego Garcia remains imprisoned abroad. Rümeysa Öztürk was illegally detained for at least 46 days.

- Reposted by Jack Van SullenSadly, this is not new! CBP for many decades routinely confiscated any medication migrants had on them and toss it in the trash. It was a part of our lawsuit against the Tucson Sector BP in 2015.
- More details are emerging as Rep. Joaquin Castro meets with the deported family of the 11yo U.S. citizen girl in Mexico. CBP agents *confiscated her seizure meds.* That’s not law enforcement—it’s abuse. Keep reposting. Keep raising hell. Be a voice for the voiceless. #OnYourSide

- Reposted by Jack Van SullenIt was one month ago (tomorrow) that US Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that Trump admin needed to 'facilitate' return of K Abrego Garcia from prison in El Salvador. There he sits.
- Reposted by Jack Van SullenThe way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.
- Reposted by Jack Van SullenIt shouldn't have to be said but if you're law enforcement and you have to cover up your face while doing your job, you are not the good guys in this situation.
