The entire reason they brought back Kilmar Abrego Garcia – after multiple DOJ attorneys insisted to multiple courts it simply was not possible – is because running with the "we're no longer a nation of laws" argument was bad for them politically

When some of us talk about how Trumpism is an extension of Reaganism, this is the kind of thing to which we’re referring.
Trump is unique in his severity of character pathology and extent of corruption, but much of the policy being enacted has been on the GOP wishlist for more than half a century.

If you can't get through to a staffer, leave a msg; if you can't get through to leave a msg, call the other numbers you've found until you do.
ALWAYS BE POLITE. The staffer answering the phones (or compiling the msgs) isn't responsible for these cuts + you want to be sure your point gets made.

Similarly, there are far-right politicians in the Netherlands, for example, who push a cynical supposed defense of queer people as a pretext to attack Muslim immigrants, who the claim are the "real threats" to queer Dutch people. We can reject that Islamophobia without saying queerphobia isn't real.
