12 Democratic Senators and 48 Democratic House members voted for the Laken Riley Act and helped it become law.

The Laken Riley Act allows the US Govt to deport immigrants on the mere accusation of a crime.

If you see any of those 60 Democrats complain about Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, or K ilmar Abrego Garcia, among hundreds of others, please know they enabled this fascism. With Democrats like these, who needs MAGAs.

Don't tell me Mahmoud Khalil standing with Jewish people for justice for Palestine is antisemitic when you pardoned the Nazi terrorist wearing a "Camp Auschwitz" shirt as he violently stormed the Capitol to hang Mike Pence & kill Nancy Pelosi.

Shame on the MAGA regime & every silent politician.

Just today:
•Two planes collided at Reagan airport in DC
•A helicopter crashed in the Hudson, killing 6
•Dow closed down 1,000 points
•MAGAs voted for the "SAVE" Act to disenfranchise tens of millions of voters

We've suffered 25 deadly aviation incidents in 2025, killing ~120 people. The economy is on the verge of recession. And MAGAs are enacting autocracy. But good thing they fired Black & brown people from government.

This is what a country run by white supremacists looks like.

Good News: SCOTUS rules 9-0 to UPHOLD court order requiring Trump regime to bring Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, back to the US after illegally deporting him to El Salvador

Bad News: SCOTUS enforces no time limit to comply, which the Trump regime may use to delay compliance & extend Garcia's torture

Police murdered Philando Castile because they “feared for their lives” after Philando disclosed he had a registered licensed legally owned firearm.

AG Bondi restored Mel Gibson’s gun rights, which were stripped because he violently beat his wife.

The system isn’t broken, it’s working as intended to uphold white supremacy.

Three Facts MAGAs Don’t Like:

•75% of the people Trump kidnapped & trafficked to an El Salvador torture camp have NO criminal record

•23% of them have NO violent criminal record

•A 150 year study by Northwestern U found that Immigrants (doc or undocumented) have ALWAYS had lower crime rates than US citizens

Fascist Trump blames immigrants to distract from his own failures. Period.

Israel just killed a US Citizen & child in the West Bank & US Govt is silent because he was Palestinian.

SCOTUS just ruled 5-4 to let Trump deport Venezuelans under the Alien Enemies Act without due process of law because they're Latino.

Trump is erasing the Underground Railroad, Tuskegee Airman, & DEI because they're Black.

If you see all this & say "I don't recognize my country anymore," it means you haven't paid attention to US history.

This is America. That's the cold hard truth.

Politicians aren’t nearly outraged enough at the Trump regime disappearing these students of color. I’m not qwhite sure why?? But I bet we’d hear a very different tune if these students had the complexion for protection.

If you’re willing to sit silent when Black & brown people are denied due process and abducted by a fascist regime, then don’t be surprised when you’re the next victim of that same regime. That’s how fascism has always advanced—through complicit silence.

Today on my way to the cemetery to visit my father's grave, a white supremacist pulled up to my car and called me Sand N*gger. When I pulled out my phone to ask him to say it again on camera he cursed me out and drove off on his motorcycle.

I think probably the worst part is both my boys were in the car with me and saw and heard it.

Fortunately, I got his picture and his plates. Stay tuned.

Happy Friday.

Guy worth $340B spending $25M in WI is like the median American worker who makes $39,982 a year spending $2.94.

Meaning, a $5 cup of coffee has a greater financial impact on a working American than $25M did on a maniac billionaire.

This is how democracies collapse.

TAX BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE.

This morning at 10:45am CST, my father Abdur Rashid Yahya (1950-2025) returned to his Maker

إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ
To God we belong & to God must we return

His funeral will be held at
17W201 Roosevelt Road
Oakbrook Terrace, IL 60181
- ⁠11am - 12pm: Public Viewing
- ⁠12:15 - 1pm: Funeral Prayer & Burial

Charitable contributions in his honor can be made to Humanity First USA to combat hunger, illiteracy, & blindness: https://fundraise.humanityfirst.org/fundraiser/6219873

Trump filed 60+ bogus lawsuits after 2020 election, lost every single case but 1 (on an irrelevant technicality), the lawyers who represented him were censured, arrested, & disbarred for fraud—& now he signs an EO “Preventing Abuses of the Legal System & the Federal Court.”

Fascist gaslighting 101.

Wow. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum officially recognizes Palestine as a state. Here she welcomes Palestinian ambassador Nadya Rasheed.

Sheinbaum is Jewish, supports Palestinian self-determination, & unapologetically condemns Netanyahu's attacks on Gaza.

Historic & inspiring leadership. ❤️✊🏽

Chuck Schumer just cancelled his planned book tour this week over "security concerns."

Here's the thing: A man who is too cowardly to face the American people is too cowardly to lead the American people.

Schumer should continue his cancellation strategy & resign his Senate leadership & retire.

We are currently in a Constitutional crisis

Dr. Rasha Alawieh is a transplant surgeon from Lebanon, is an associate Professor at Brown University, trained in the USA, is here with a valid H1-B visa, has zero criminal record, and Trump regime arrested her anyway.

A judge ordered a block to her deportation. Trump deported her anyway.

They lied when they said "they only want to ban illegal immigration."

They do not believe in rule of law & separation of powers.

This is who Schumer trusts.

Senate Democrats are now texting me for campaign donations, boasting about voting against Trump's fascist budget.

Let me be explicitly clear: Until Senate Dems oust Schumer as Senate leader, elect an actual fighter, and stop kneeling at the altar of corporate money, it's $0 from me, ever. Period.

Bradley Bartell voted for Trump. Now ICE arrested his wife Camila Muñoz.

"I knew they were cracking down, but I didn't think they'd go after my wife," said Bartell.

Life imitates art

"I never thought the leopards would eat MY face," cried the woman who voted for the leopards eating faces party.

BREAKING: In a landslide vote, Harvard Law student body passes divestment referendum, overcoming administration attempts to prevent and delegitimize the vote.

Harvard Law students overwhelmingly vote for Justice for Palestine and divestment from Netanyahu’s regime.

This is historic. Now the question is whether Harvard will listen to its students or its donors.

Schumer is capitulating to Trump, again.

For those saying that Chuck Schumer is just one Senate Democrat and doesn't speak for the entire party, I have two responses:
1. He literally is the minority Leader of the Democrats, so yes he does speak for the party in capitulating to Trump
2. If Senate Dems found his act truly objectionable, they'd remove him. They won't. They're complicit.

We desperately need leadership with the courage to fight injustice.

Thank you to the 14 principled members of US Congress who signed this letter to Secretary Noem demanding the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil. It should be a source of shame that every single member of Congress, or at least in the Democratic caucus, didn't sign this.

Does Trump need to literally light the Constitution on fire before they act?
