Deporting people born in this country is not only unconstitutional, it's anti-American. We will fight this effort with everything we've got.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 10(source)

Not sure who needs to hear this but people born in America are Americans.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 8(source)

He can’t do this and it’s clearly unconstitutional. We need to call it out, organize, and support the orgs on the ground who will be on the frontline. We will NOT stand by and allow this to happen.

Trump: I don't want to break up the family, so the only way you don't break up the family is you keep them together and you have to send them all back.

So glad to see @acyn.bsky.social active on here. Literally one of the best handles and services on the former bird app.

Garcia: The fact he is handing over Elon Musk the keys to the federal government to destroy our institutions with a fake department.. shows how irresponsible he is with the seriousness of the moment. He is not focused on helping people, but taking away things they depend on.

On @aymanmsnbc.bsky.social from 30 Rock in NYC to talk the billionaire takeover of our government. What we should absolutely not do, is work with them. They want to destroy the social safety net, and we need to fight back.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 7(source)

I’ll be joining @aymanmsnbc.bsky.social at 7pm eastern / 4pm pacific LIVE from 30 Rock in New York.

Not sure who needs to hear this but bipartisanship with Trump and these extremist billionaires isn’t going to work. They want power at all costs and won’t give an inch. Democrats need to fight them with everything we got.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 7(source)

These DOGE billionaires want to redistribute working class and middle class wealth to themselves and their companies. Democrats need to fight their efforts.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 7(source)

I’ll let @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social who’s an expert respond.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 7(source)

Did y’all know that approx 90% of fentanyl smuggled into the U.S. are not by migrants crossing the border, but at legal ports of entry. Did y’all also know that immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S. citizens? The more you know…

I want to like this post, but won’t.

I’m not a defense policy expert, but it seems like a bad idea to nominate an alcoholic rapist to lead the world’s largest and most lethal military.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 7(source)

Both Alex and I serve on the Oversight Committee so it’s likely we will at the center of the fight back.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 6(source)

Another reason to not work with the DOGE billionaires is that they want to redistribute wealth from working class families into the pockets of the billionaire class and the companies they own. There’s nothing to negotiate with them, we can only fight back.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 6(source)

I don’t plan to ignore them - I plan to fight their efforts.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 6(source)

We have a housing crisis, food costs are too high, and folks can barley afford to pay rent. Yet Republicans in congress scheduled 1 vote today in the House: Communism in Schools. What a waste of time. I voted no.

House vote on communism in schools passes.
