Thank you Senator Markey!
Thank you Senator Markey!
Thank you!
Thank you
Get her out and cut this off at the pass. Thank you and don't give up
Thank you Senator.🗽
Thank you! Please continue to use your power to stop and mitigate harm. And please support the House in bringing articles of impeachment.
👏👏👏
Thank you so much, @markey.senate.gov. This is EXACTLY what we want to see from our leadership. This fascist regime MUST release Rümeysa Öztürk.
ADOLF TRUMP HITLER.
Thank you, @markey.senate.gov !! #ReportingForDuty
Thank you for doing your duty. All Senators should adhere to their Senatorial oath and “act”!
Thank you Sen. Markey!
Add my vote to your work, thank you for taking the stand!
No worries
It’s amazing how the dynamic has changed once people like @vanhollen.senate.gov and @booker.senate.gov started leading
what has Booker even materially done..?
If I could edit posts, I’d add mentions for @aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov
I feel you -- they're included in spirit, in the first post you made.
And @warren.senate.gov, the first member of Congress I heard speak out against Trump after the 2024 election. I remember appreciating her courage so much in that moment.
She called for his impeachment immediately after the Meuller report came out. @ayannapressley.bsky.social and @repmcgovern.bsky.social also visited Ozturk and Khalil. Love my fearless reps.
Crockett, Mills, Pritzker, Buttigieg, honestly our bench is fairly deep.
Reps Al Green and Maxwell Frost.
Yes! Dems are really stepping up!🗽💙
Whitehouse, Murphy, Raskin.
Yes! Senator Patty Muiray too!💙💙💙💙
Yes, my shit posting was not very comprehensive
Oh, OK. I didn't pick up that you were shit posting.
Rep. Al Green, Frost, Omar;Sen. Duckworth,& Klobuchar! Sen. Kim quietly & w/o fanfare always acts & votes w/moral courage w/ Alsobrooks close behind! Remember, have more work w/ help filing lawsuits & protesting! We 💯wish there was a magic🪄! We Peep R the power base that needs to show🆙
Yes! 💙💙💙
Raskin
Swallwell
Yes!
True.
Yeah-sure would be nice if @schumer.senate.gov was leading here. Real vacuum of leadership.
Still way too slow, at this speed by christmas we will have normalized kidnappings of US citizens like they did through the patriot act. Only this time it wont only be "muslims" + poc. Buckle up, these criminals sabotaging us are backed by a lot of rubles. Even elmo is just a crash dummy like 45.
Booker?
Right? He’s done jack shit.
Yes. He set the standard for sure! Glad to see others following in his footsteps
Van Hollen is terrific. He's my Senator and I sent him a thank you for going to El Salvador.
Courage is contagious.
I agree.
Until Booker ran his marathon, I didn't realise that what I was feeling was an absence of leadership. And then, bam! there it was!
💪
Keep up the fight Ed!! Much more needs to be done. Time is running down.
Thank you, Senator. I wish you success.
Don't let the fascists win Senator! Get him released!
Thank you!
Question though...why r these Senators waiting until IT HAPPENS? Is there zero preventive will? Just responsive?
Thank you
THANK YOU @markey.senate.gov for defending human rights. Thank you for the hope you have given to all of us. Thank you for doing SOMETHING!
Good for you all who are doing this, using your political power to advocate for these wrongfully jailed people. 👏👏👏👏🫶
Retire. You’ve aged out. Please. Just go.
How do you see it that 78 (Markey’s age) is too old to be a Senator, but 82 (Biden’s current age) would not have been too old for him to be President right now?
Biden was too old to be president. But the other option was Trump and the end of the nation.
Why??? What if he based his opinions on you based on your race?? Shame on you as a lawyer being an ageist! You will hopefully get old some day. And as a black woman you make me wanna vomit 🤮
Age and race aren’t the same thing. Obviously. Lol
What makes me shake my head is what is the difference if someone says you’re too black & ghetto and you’re too old??!
That’s just not the same thing! Sorry!! People lost cognition with age, as their brain literally ages. Race is a social construct and doesn’t affect our biological abilities AT ALL. Think about this for a few minutes.
No…. You think about this…government wants you to believe otherwise but as a lawyer, I expected better values and morals considering what this nation is witnessing in regards to division! You must lose allot🤣🤣
You’re right that race is a social construct, but saying it doesn’t affect us “at all” ignores reality. Social constructs can still have very real consequences. Race may not determine biological ability, but it shapes access to healthcare, education, housing, clean environments, and safety
all of which do affect health outcomes and life expectancy. For example, Black women in the U.S. face significantly higher maternal mortality rates…not because of biology, but because of systemic bias in healthcare.
So no, race isn’t biologically real in the way age or height is. But racism is real — and it has measurable, devastating effects on people’s lives just as age biases!
But they do fall under bias and discrimination…nice try but turn in your bar card! Hand it over Sir lol
Nah, they don’t. Lol
I’ve checked to make sure I’m following you like 5 times 😂😂
You are but why???
Because I appreciate you! You’re just incorrect on this particular point! But I understand why you feel this way! It’s just not accurate. Age is biological. Race is not.
But they’re both biases….would you agree and they both have 14th amendment applications!
No need to even wonder about whether I agree or disagree on those points. Yes, they are both biases. Yes, rhey both have 14th amendment application. But NO, they are not the same thing, legally, nor are the legal standards for liability the same for both. Age is scientific. Race is made up.
Age and race fall under discrimination.
Check my page I just posted something perhaps you can explain….i didn’t want to put you on blast, that’s why I didn’t tag you but your discrimination is wild considering your profession.
Oh I commented! ☺️
Thank you!!! Please don't leave without her!!!
Making this man the Democratic party’s senate leader! Chuck, is an embarrassment to the party, and it would go a long way to improving the party’s image coast to coast.
Thank you Senator Markey!
Thank you. And I think I know the answer to this question (money), but would you please find out and explain to us why hostages are in Louisiana and not in their home states, near their lawyers and family?
For the exact reason in your question...far away from anyone who can help them.
Different judges.
I think of the "excuses" they'll point to is that ICE doesn't have detention centers in MA, etc. so they have to bring people somewhere else. I would argue that means they shouldn't be detaining people at all in those states, but you know...
Because the judges are more deportation friendly in Louisiana! Very Conservative
Grrr
Don't forget getting away from sympathetic local citizens. Slavecatchers used to do the same thing, try and get out of state before word of a kidnapping got around. If they failed, they could end up on the wrong side of a riot.
They are trying to change the jurisdiction before lawyers can file anything, plus judge shopping.
Profit making, isolation, making it impossible to get released if their family and friends haven't got many funds. To see how much they can get away with before folks are pushed too far. This is all testing the waters.
My understanding is to make it as difficult as possible to get them out - the distance is on purpose, so that a lawyer, family members and other supporters can't easily access them/advocate for them and pressure ICE to follow the law. Truly awful.
And probably to get their appeals in front of a more conservative 5th circuit.
The Supreme Court really doesn't trust the 5th Circuit anymore.
Maybe. A few decisions do not convince me of that.
i’m certain the good Senator will have a better answer than mine but… estranging their targets from their known support system is part of deportation*-101 this also increases the costs for anyone trying to to defend them. case in point: a US Senator from MA having to fly to LA *in the Nazi meaning
God speed Senator Markey. Don’t let them turn you away.
Thank you, @markey.senate.gov. We the People appreciate ALL you are doing.
I’m so glad senate democrats are finally doing something.
Thank you, Senator. Please impeach the president
THANK YOU SIR! We appreciate your valliant efforts!
Very thankful that you are stepping up to do the right thing. We need more like you!
Legit, thanks
Thank you!!! Bring her home!
Thank you Senator Markey, Thank you.
Thank you for standing up for Rumeysa and trying to help her. I hope you can help get her released soon. Way to go, Sen. Markey!
This is what America looks like! Thank you!
Locking up innocent deporting innocent people is what America looks like
Hah! You totally GOT that idiot!
Go get 'em, Ed.
Senator, we would like to invite you to join our weekly Wednesday protest at the ICE office in New Orleans (1250 Poydras St ) tomorrow at noon. Rumeysa is one of several for whom we will be specifically calling to be released.
A little late Senator. Time to step down and let younger more vibrant people lead. Your trip to Louisiana is three weeks too late.
Thank you!!
This is good trouble.
Who was that like false booker guy….Oh ya Hakeem Jeffries lmfao. Where’s he at? Been awfully quiet lately 🤣
Thank you, Sir. Godspeed.
Why don't we start by arresting the criminals at ICE that keep breaking our laws following orders isn't an excuse didn't work at Nuremberg why would it work in the USA!
⚪️ At a restaurant in my neighborhood (in Washington, DC) that employs 95% immigrants: “ICE bucket” [📷: Citizen K]
Now there's an ICE-bucket challenge I can get behind! LMAO cheap bracelets for em all!
Thank you SO much
Stay on those pricks Senator.
I hope you’ll hold Israel and the Trump administration responsible for this? Her name was on a list provided by Israel to Trump of targets they wanted terrorized and likely disappeared.
Yes!!! Keep up the pressure! Keep talking about this. Thank you
Good work. You know, in your heart, as we all do that the Dark Lord of Maga Lardo wants the power to put away anyone who doesn't worship his fake ass. Let's show the Maga Cult the power of the US Constitution. More power to you! ❤️ 🙏
Why don't Democrat elected officials leverage corporate news and social media to show them meeting with families whose loved ones suffered at the hands of violent illegal immigrants? Never. Not even once.
Thank you for your courage standing up for your constituent!
PLEASE STAY SAFE AND HIRE PRIVATE SECURITY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
Thank you Senator Markey!
I stand with her and Senator Markey
trump and most republicans have turned their backs on America's democracy. For shame. Speak out and rise up. Save our country.
Please help her be released. Thank you!
Thank you - we need more Congress people like you now more than ever!! Thank you, thank you!!
Support Sen. Markey and due process by getting on the phone or e-mail and telling your reps in DC to support due process. It only takes a minute and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. We justs need people to participate. www.nationalfinancialplan.com
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you for going!
Glad to see you guys waking up a bit.
There is a right way and a wrong way, this administration is going about it the dark and lazy way at the expense of the innocent. He fired 20 Judges due to backlog we need to hire a 600 more if need be, temporarily if necessary. He’s making the crisis worse by the day. Where are the children????
Thank you senator ♥️
Thank you!!
Good for you senator! Bring her home
Senator Markey, you're on my Good Guy list.
Thank you!!!
Thank you Senator.
Thank you, Senator!
Thank you, Senator.
Please bring her home, Senator Markey! Stop ICE from abducting students off our streets and uphold our right to due process. Massachusetts thanks you.
Thank you!
Thank you. I know it might not be top of mind, but I do hope you'll stop for a decent meal to enjoy our great foodie city of New Orleans.
This administration is doing NOTHING for Americans. They are fighting with Americans on every issue. The courts are tied up with how many cases suing Trump? How do we get better if all we’re doing is wasting time and resources.
Thank you for standing up for what is right and just
Good luck to you!!
👏🏽
Thank you, sir. One by one justice will prevail.
Can we just PLEEEEZ fast-forward to that time, now?
I wish!
It's kidnapping and it can be a state crime can't be pardoned
Thank you!!
Thank you!
Good luck ! Stay safe!
Thank you 💚
👆good. Thank you!
I guess better late than never?
Incredibly proud to have been a long time constituent, great stuff Senator
About time. She was taken a month ago. A month only feels like a short time when you're free.
Thank you Senator Markey.
You go boy!!
Ed Markey you are a phenomenal senator. Thank you for all your efforts for the common good, it is not unappreciated.
Thank you.
✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
Thank you Senator Markey!
Thank you, Senator Markey!
Well done Senator! You and your fellow dems who are stepping up to care for our vulnerable citizens kidnapped by ICE is the right thing to do. Shame on 47 and the traitorous republicans in Congress. We stand with you.
America doesn't have legitimate leaders now.
The American Gestapo is working hard against the Constitution. They are doing everything in their power to brutally trash the document, except in the very few instances where it favors them. And that, according to the extreme Supreme Court. All I can say is RESIST !
Thanks, Senator!!! Best of luck!
Thank you Senator Ed Markey for DOING SOMETHING to try and bring these people back home to get due process. Every American EXPECTS the same rights.
wasn’t that a few weeks ago, took a long time to get there but thank you.
thank you!!
Attn: Lisa Murkowski Try doing something like this instead of being victimized by your own actions.
Glad you’re doing something but jeez. How long since she was kidnapped? No more foot dragging, please.
100% agreed. Imagine taking a month to decide that this was wrong and doing the barest of minimums.
Nice to see you take action for what's right and standing up for what the GOP are destroying!
Get her out or at least back to Mass!
Thank you. 🙏🏼
Thank you for going to see another person who is in need of a voice that can be heard.
Good luck. I believe, backed by plenty of evidence, that the only way we can resolve and prevent further attacks on civil rights, is to extinguish trump and his criminal base.
Thank you!
Godspeed Senator!
Thank you, Senator Markey!
Thank you Senator Markey !
Thank you!
Thank you, @markey.senate.gov
Thanks Ed
🥺 where is the make up artist, stylist? 😭
The Congressional representative of each person snatched illegally by ICE should be working together to get them release. More power than doing this piecemeal.
Yes they blame the government for too much due process to protect their civil liberties , their freedom , their properties , their finances so they voted for one that will offer them NO PROTECTION from that ... TWICE
✊⚖️💙 Thanks for standing up for rights & Justice
Ty and ty for coming to rally 2 weeks ago!!!!
Thank you, Senator.
Thank you! Please keep working until our intl students are safe.
Honestly Sir? Methinks she would be better off back in Turkey, instead of this dystopian Fascist Hellscape that the world now HATES & has gone off the deepend. My God. How could this have happened?! 😕
Thank you, Senator.
It is elected people like you that must keep doing this. Please.. Do not stop fighting against ICE's wrongful detainments and arrests.
Bravo Senator
Keep up the good work, Senator Markey!
It's good to know that not all senators are rotten shitbags. Keep up the good work! 👊🏼
Thank you Senator Markey! We need her back in Boston where she belongs! 💙
Thank you!
Bring her home, Senator.
Keep doing this shit. These losers fold when you press them.
Do you know who we're talking about? Or do you just reflexively troll with nonsense?
m.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ5X...
Massachusetts has the best senators 😊
Fight the good fight!!
Keep up the pressure!
Thank you Senator Markey 🇺🇸
Thank you Ed. These are political hostages of a fascist regime being shipped away to further deny their due process. Congress and the Supreme Court need to get off their asses and put a stop to it. You are representing all of us 🇺🇸
Thank you.
Bravo
Took you long enough
Thank you, Senator.
Thank you!
I applaud you for having empathy but you should have done this weeks ago sir
OK, good. Don’t leave until something happens.
Great to see, thank you for raising awareness and applying pressure.
Thank you
👏👏👏👏👏
Excellent
It's about fucking time! She was taken weeks ago. So you saw what Senator Van Holland did and grew some balls?
Bless you sir. While most cannot travel to support her, I know millions are hoping for her return. Fake ice deliberately chose Louisiana because it’s a Maga shithole! 🧌
I applaud you! Bring her back to Mass.! And thank you for making the moral vote against sending munitions to ethnically cleanse starving Palestinians alongside Sanders et. al. People like Rümeysa Öztürk must be free to advocate for the inherent value of Palestinian lives.
If your reps are not loudly with the 14 members of Congress now supporting impeachment, call the Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121 every day and ask why not. Or just go to their Congress website and email them every time your blood pressure spikes. It’s so therapeutic! (Please repost)
So so wrong 😡
Hey! This is awesome! Bravo!
Sen Markey is one of the relatively short list of Dems working against the dictatorship rapidly taking over our country rather than claiming nobody in the minority can do anything. Thank you Sen Markey.
Rep Maxwell Frost, who was one of 4 that went down to El Salvador as follow-up to Sen Van Hollen’s trip said House Dems have weekly action days Wednesday-Friday every week doing various actions. We don’t know about it because Corporate Media bent the knee and won’t cover any of it.
Interesting- they need to use alternative media to get the message out if necessary that there is action.
The first thing dictators do is take over the media. We have a short window before the FCC starts censoring the Internet. We need to organize in large numbers in hope of turning the tide. Bernie and AOC are hosting big rallies. Every Congressperson that has a conscience should be doing the same.
They are certainly welcome to spread the word here. If Hands Off and 50501 can inform us, a Congressman should have no trouble doing the same. It seems to work for AOC, Bernie, Crockett, Van Hollen and others.
Frost and Murphy are doing a town hall in an R district I just read.
That’s what we need. Excellent.
I had to search for a clip of one of Sen. Murphy. I should have bookmarked, it was a different clip but this one shared is excellent also: @chrismurphyct.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/ench...
Yup, him and Maxwell Frost were both there.
Yes, he is out there, too.
No argument there, but at the same time, they could be paying for billboards, ads on buses or other places, etc.
Get her out of there! She has important research to continue!
Thank you, sir!
thank you sir!
El Salvador's president appears as slimy as Trump.
Excellently!!!! We need you and all others to fight for the people caught up in this “KIDNAPPING” “HUMAN TRAFFICKING” “ABDUCTIONS”. Call it one of the three, cuz without DUE PROCESS it CAN’T be called Deportations.
safe travels and Thank you!!
Thank you for doing something. Please keep doing things and don’t make this a one-time event! Also vote against every Trump nominee and stall the process at every opportunity!
This should be in the 1st block of all news cycles! Sen Markey needs to be seen as an example for all of Congress to keep these cases fresh on everyone's mind. People are being disappeared by the minute!
Thank you! 💙
Thank you Senator.
Thank you! Record everything and televise, YouTube TikToc, Instagram. Let people know what they are doing.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detenti...
Thank you Sen Markey!
Thank you
Read the responses to this article below the article itself…. They nail it!! Expose this guy… This is the guy encouraging all the cruelty…. He is the one who wants to destroy Democracy for money and power!!! He likes to hide in the shadows….Don’t let him!! www.thenerdreich.com/curtis-yarvi...
Stop yarvin!! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...
They left out the part where Yarvin says nonproductive members of society should be used for biofuel, then says he's kidding, then proves he's not with next several sentences. This guy is sick in the head.

Thank you to @vanhollen.senate.gov for your incredible courage and for lighting a fire under your fellow elected Dems. Better late than never @markey.senate.gov. Thank you.
Thank you!!!!
Thank you Senator
Thank you Senator Markey. Keep on fighting the good fight.
@bennet.senate.gov @hickenlooper.bsky.social y’all see this? At least 11 people from Colorado have been disappeared to El Salvador.
Nice job senator
This is why I voted for you. Keep up the good fight.
I wish he’d gone earlier but I’m glad he’s going!
It's funny, Mary. We're in such weird, uncharted territory here! I can understand if people feel that they should take some time and assess the potential risks and determine the best course of action, which I'm assuming he and his staff did. But the urgency is also very real.
Thank you.
Thank you for doing something!
We need more courageous politicians to do exactly this!!! That’s what you were elected for!
Thanks, Sen. Ed. Keep up the work, it's worthwhile and meaningful.
Goood goood
