I am outraged that our institutions — major media companies, law firms and universities — would rather bend a knee than stand tall and fight.
And I am outraged that the price of standing up to Trump — of standing for democracy — is to be subjected to endless lies, attacks and false accusations by people who know better –

Please, pay attention! Stand up for democracy!
Though the Trump administration often refers to the AEA removals as deportations, they do not resemble the codified judicial process of deportation.Rather than deporting the men removed under the AEA back to their country of origin, the Trump administration sent them to a country foreign to them to serve out an indefinite sentence without ever convicting them of a crime or giving them an opportunity to challenge their removal or continued confinement.
...
Multiple investigations have found that a majority of those removed by the Trump administration do not have criminal records in the U.S., Venezuela or El Salvador and never violated U.S. immigration laws.
...
... the U.S. has paid El Salvador around $6 million to imprison the men for at least a year.
...
El Salvador said that the U.S. had exclusive responsibility over the men.“In this context, the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the competent foreign authorities, by virtue of international agreements signed and in accordance with the principles of sovereignty and international cooperation in criminal matters,” it said.

The# Republican National Committee (#RNC) has entered the legal battle over #Wyoming’s new proof of #citizenship #VotingLaw, filing a motion Thursday to intervene in a federal lawsuit that seeks to block the law from going into effect next month.
This motion aligns the national party with Wyoming Secretary of State #ChuckGray (R), an anti-voting #ElectionDenier and chief backer of the law.

Trump administration arrests ANOTHER Democrat
"Josh Divine, one of President Donald Trump’s judicial nominees, argued in 2010 that in order to vote, people should be required to take literacy tests. Such tests were outlawed by the Voting Rights Act in 1965 for being racially discriminatory. The op-ed was first revealed by the Huffington Post."
