The pope was a strong advocate for the poor and the environment and a towering figure on the world stage, addressing not just Catholics but the men and women of our time.

“This happens today: if the investments in the banks fall slightly… a tragedy… what can be done? But if people die of hunger, if they have nothing eat, if they have poor health, it does not matter! This is our crisis today!” -Pope Francis

The "nothing matters" crowd gets another strike against their "give up" message. The fight continues. But for the people on this bus, the Supreme Court decision matters a lot.

Don’t forget that every Republican Senator who voted to confirm Pete Hegseth is complicit in this mess.

On Easter Sunday, we celebrate joy, hope, and our faith in renewal — even through the darkest of times. To all those celebrating today, our family wishes you a happy Easter.

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "I'm not vouching for the man. I'm vouching for the man's rights. His constitutional rights to due process."

BREAKING: The Supreme Court will hear arguments in three cases against President Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship on May 15. These challenges are separate from our case but they're united by one principle: President Trump doesn't have the authority to override the Constitution.

Suppressing the voices and influence of both experts & academia is part and parcel of authoritarianism, and Trump has been rabidly beating this drum. With many universities bending the knee, the fact that others are now coordinating "mutual defense" efforts is a hopeful sign. More of THIS, please!

Universities should have independence from the government and following Harvard’s lead, the Big 10 schools which include MI State, Rutgers, Indiana U, etc agree to form a compact to fight off trumps threats. This is how to stand up and fight to protect our democracy! #MomSky

I am advocating for due process for Abrego Garcia.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Let's be abundantly clear: Federal law prohibits Trump from doing this- mandating local curriculum or withholding federal funds for schools that don't obey him. We must keep fighting for this school funding & to #ProtectOurKids. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/u...

She was right about everything, AGAIN. Sign the petition to tell Congress to pressure Trump to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to his loved ones. Friends, the only way this works is if you repost so others can sign it as well. Hit that repost button, please. 🙏🏻 👇🏻 actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

In America, you have a right to due process. Without it, the government could arrest or deport you for any reason. That’s what is happening in America right now. That is what dictators do. And that is what we are fighting against.

How many people do you think have received threats from Trump, Musk & their goons? Thousands? This interview by Rachel Maddow was chilling. You must watch & share it because our government is being attacked from within! The bravery of Daniel Berulis is so inspiring. I hope it's contagious. 🧵

I hope you will share this, because by doing so, you're spreading courage. The bravery of Daniel Berulis is an example to us all. Now more than ever we need people to stand up to do what's right and protect our country. If our government systems are being hacked, we're in danger.

US senator Chris Van Hollen says El Salvador denied request to meet Kilmar Ábrego García - The Guardian The VP of El Salvador wouldn’t even let Sen. Van Hollen speak to Kilmar on the phone. They are wholly in league with devil fascism. apple.news/Abizv07NLQ3W...

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

Makes Columbia’s acquiescence look all the more conspicuous and pathetic

Harvard FTW: "The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. Neither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal government."

Van Hollen: "If the president gets to shred the Constitution and ignore the Supreme Court in this case, it is a very short path to the president ignoring court orders in other cases. So every American should care about this."

The very best of America’s shitposters are now outgunned by their Chinese peers. Balance of power has shifted.

There we go.

THIS is how a president makes a statement.

There we go. Support this man.

On this day, April 14, 2025, the President of the United States openly defied the Supreme Court’s unanimous opinion of April 10, 2025, ordering him to “facilitate Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador

Someone once said NextDoor is the social network for dogs if they could type. It’s always “what’s that noise?” and “who’s that stranger?” which is exactly what I imagine my dogs would text other neighborhood dogs.

In fairness, China's pronouncers of state propaganda have a much better game then America's.

Letter from Dem Senator Chris Van Hollen (MD) requesting a meeting with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele To discuss MD father Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return "If Kilmar is not home by midweek – I plan to travel to El Salvador this week to check on his condition and discuss his release."

The President just used the Oval Office to talk about his desire to send U.S. citizens to a prison hellscape in El Salvador. That’s not law and order—that’s unhinged. It’s not strength. It’s fucking sick. Republicans in Congress could stop this, but they won’t.

The president of the United States and the president of El Salvador have conspired to kidnap a man and hold him hostage in an El Salvador prison. This criminality ignores the rule of law and thumbs its nose at a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate his return.

"No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue." -- Harvard President Alan Garber www.harvard.edu/president/ne...

We’re proud to represent members of the public health and science community in suing NIH over its illegal, unscientific, and undemocratic cancellation of research on now-forbidden topics like gender identity and DEI. Here are 5 things you can do to #KilltheCuts & #SaveOurScience ⬇️ @apha.org

if Ritchie fucking Torres can do this and Chris Van Hollen can fly to El Salvador the rest of the Dem caucus can show up too hell, everyone should go on the El Salvador trip now’s the time, folks, this road ends with you in the foreign prison

You’ve got to be kidding. But of course, you’re not. Call your rep.

Wow. Harvard University says they will not comply with Trump’s demand to “audit” the viewpoints of their student body or else be defunded. More of this.

Thank you for standing against evil @vanhollen.senate.gov

It’s about effing time you all woke up. Now do more than introduce PR bills. Go there. Bring press. Live stream it.
