I visited Rümeysa Öztürk this week with @markey.senate.gov & @repmcgovern.bsky.social. What we found was not just a young woman locked up without charge, but also a democracy being put to the test. Read our op-ed about why her case has implications for everyone. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/o...

Ikea CEO Wants New Desk On His Desk By End Of Day

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Here's how we're fighting back.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had a second Signal chat that included his wife and brother where he shared similar details of a March military airstrike against Yemen’s Houthi militants that were sent in another chain with top Trump administration leaders, The New York Times reported.

Happy #Easter

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Point is: Without due process, no one can be sure that the government has accurately identified the "bad guys."

Just watched my toddler undo a child lock, take something from a drawer, close the drawer, then redo the child lock. If I didn't witness this I'd be questioning my own sanity.

This breaks me — because I can see my wife and daughter living through this. I don’t trust DHS, and you shouldn’t either because it could happen to anyone. They’re on a mission, and it feels lawless as hell.

That's a new sentence

My constituent Rümeysa Öztürk was kidnapped by DHS officials, had her constitutional rights violated, & has yet to be charged with a crime. I sat down with @theintercept.com to discuss Trump’s dangerous attacks on our students & immigrants, & how we're meeting this with resistance.

If you have ever said "I need something to vote for, not JUST something to vote against," I need you to understand how stupid you sound. The word JUST is not cheat codes out of a stupid position It's JUST 540,000 refugees losing TPS? It's JUST Medicaid, Medicare, SS ? It's JUST fascism?

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody. She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

the primary = idealism the general = consequentialism
