NM Lawyer. Former Asst. Attorney General. Fighting the good fight daily. Family friends and fishing keep me sane.
We must #ShutDownDilley & end the detention of children. Children are living in inhumane conditions, denied medical care, & enduring trauma that no child should ever have to endure. I stand with my colleagues in the DWC & Rep. Joaquin Castro in demanding the shutdown of the Dilley Trailer Prison.
Today, Major Jason Watson was arrested on the Capitol steps for non-violent Civil Disobedience. This hero is sacrificing his freedom & livelihood for OUR Democracy. Let’s honor him with our activism against this fascist regime ✊🏼 #ImpeachConvictRemove @removalcoalition.bsky.social

Someone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂
Dignity, grace, and intellect speak for themselves. Resorts to petty, outdated insults only show a lack of class and respect. True strength doesn't need to tear others down to elevate itself. #SheShed #Leadership #UFC
WE ARE UNDER-REACTING‼️ If you needed any more proof that the Voting Rights Act is still necessary, just look at what’s happening right now: red states rushing to wipe out Black representation the second SCOTUS gutted it. What went down this week is going to have devastating consequences. 🧵

A little background on who the Southern Poverty Law Center is and what kind of work they’ve been doing for decades makes it clear that DOJ’s indictment (which is of the center, not of any individuals) is vindictive & malicious, an attack on civil rights work itself. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Investigating the Good GuysDOJ claims the Southern Poverty Law Center was "paying off" the Ku Klux Klan. The group's track record and common sense suggest otherwise.open.substack.com
The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.
Lack of health insurance kills FAR more Americans every year than Iran ever has. But Trump & Hegseth want $200B for war instead of care. That’s not “national security” — that’s national neglect. #HealthcareNotWarfare WE WANT HEALTHCARE NOT WAR OR ICE AGENTS
They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that
In 2020, Donald Trump tried to extort Georgia election officials to find 11,780 votes He also used fake electors as part of his insurrection scheme Now he directed the DOJ to raid the Fulton County Elections hub-in an attempt to rewrite history If only Fani Willis could have completed her work
Aaron RuparOssoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."
IMMORAL… This drawing was made by one of the 5 year old El Gamal twins. It shows children behind bars with the caption, “I’m 5 years old.” An immigration judge denied them bond, citing “insufficient assets.” These children could remain in detention for years while their case is appealed.
A State Attorney General can indict the ICE killers as John Doe and then compel the DOJ to identify them.
The Tennessee HollerBovino says they will never tell us which agents killed Alex Pretti— and they will keep working the streets.
Minnesota can, and should, move to indict the ICE agent who murdered Good when the courts open on Monday. And the ICE agents who murdered today. Further delay only increases the chances of more murder. www.patreon.com/posts/147769...
