🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott.
Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:
Hey @DoorDash, we just deleted our account due to your position against DC Home Rule
Interesting: @DoorDash is supporting the GOP bill in Congress to limit D.C.'s ability to increase or decrease taxes and fees, largely in response to the D.C. Council's recent vote in impose a new 20-cent delivery fee to help fund food-access programs. notus.org/metro/ubereats-doo…

There is no shortage of ideas out there for how this can be done. My @amprog colleagues laid out their vision for a new immigration system last summer. americanprogress.org/article…

Toward the end of the first Trump administration, I laid out some of my thoughts on how we can restore the rule of law in immigration. americanprogress.org/article…
Jenny Hunter retweeted
Restoring the rule of law in a long-term, durable way requires building an immigration system that works and works as designed. The chaos, cruelty, and dysfunction that the Trump administration's policies are creating will only further degrade faith in our system.
Jenny Hunter retweeted
The idea that we need to "restore the rule of law" in immigration is decades old (at least). It grows out of an intuitive sense most people have that our immigration system is broken. It's poorly designed and outdated and Congress seems incapable of fixing it.
Jenny Hunter retweeted
The attack on the rule of law begins with the rampant disregard for legal constraints. In every aspect of enforcement--from warrantless searches and arrests, to unlawful detentions, to deportations w/o legal authority--this admin's serial lawbreaking undermines the rule of law.
Jenny Hunter retweeted
The Trump admin claims its immigration policies are restoring the rule of law. They know Americans believe upholding the rule of law is one of our country's core principles.
But Trump's immigration agenda degrades the rule of law in countless ways. americanprogress.org/article…

Wife of wrongfully detained DACA recipient: We’re raising three children in Texas. He was driving to the hospital to deliver my breast milk for our baby in the NICU when a car full of ICE agents took him. Delays in renewal processing have now caused his status to lapse.

We can't clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.
That's why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.
Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn't mean a lifetime lack of accountability.
Jenny Hunter retweeted
For 26 but especially 2028 it's time for Democrats to make clear that the current Supreme Court will have to be reformed (expanded in number, reformed in structure) to allow popular govt to continue in the United States. Not so much a litmus test as precondition for any other promise to be credible.

If Kilmar Abrego Garcia committed all the crimes as alleged, then let him be tried and convicted.
Nobody is guilty of crimes because Kristi Noem says so. That's not how it works in America.
Today, @Sec_Noem announced that ICE arrested Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He will be processed for removal to Uganda.
🧵Sanctuary politicians and the FAKE news won’t tell you the truth about Kilmar Abrego Garcia—a MS-13 gang member, human trafficker, wife beater, child predator and criminal illegal alien. We will.
To @Wmata and @Metrobusinfo: school starts tomorrow and the C81 bus to Deal MS is a mess. Handwritten signs on 14th St stops say it's skipping 14th St entirely, but TripPlanner and Google maps don't show new route. 1/2
Good morning @wmata and @Metrobusinfo. Your Buseta website says the school bus type metro buses (D31, D32, D33, D34) are not running today. But DCPS still has school today and tomorrow. Will the buses come to take the kids to school?

House Republicans are proposing a new kind of radical & punishing work requirement. Millions of low-income people will have their health care terminated by this bill. New paper with @machledtDC a 🧵about how it will happen. healthlaw.org/resource/top-1…. 1/11
Hi @NatCapVeloClub, my husband @TomJawetz and son rode in the SAG van today and left rain coats and car keys in the van. If someone finds them please bring them to the start of the race—they are biking back to look for them!
Question for @wmata and @Metrobusinfo: is there a way to get the Buseta website to show every bus line at the same time, instead of searching for just one bus line or address?

There is no ambiguity. It is illegal to use taxpayer money to pay a foreign country to imprison people.
Secretary Rubio owes us answers about this administration's blatant disregard for the law.
