Van Hollen: "As the federal courts have said, we need to bring Mr. Abrego Garcia home to protect his constitutional rights to due process...If you deny the constitutional rights of one man, you threaten the constitutional rights and due process for everyone else in America."

RFK jr talking about how “autism is only being diagnosed in children, not in older adults, it must be an epidemic” is crazy because have you ever met someone who is 60+ who is clearly autistic and doesn’t realize and suggest they get diagnosed? sometimes they’re offended you even suggest doing that

It's true that us citizens get detained by ICE regularly but it's also true that now that we live in a time when "detained by ICE" might turn into "life sentence in a concentration camp before you even talk to a lawyer or judge," it's certainly higher stakes to be detained by ICE

He’s threatening the free press. He wants to ship Americans to foreign prisons. He’s using executive orders to go after ex-staff who dare to speak out. He’s ignoring the Supreme Court. This isn’t politics. This is authoritarianism in real time. Wake up.

Everyone in America needs to be alarmed when due process is ignored. Without it, you can’t appeal. You can't prove who you are, just like Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Even if you’re a citizen, you are now guilty of whatever crime they have labeled you guilty of. No one is safe under fascism.

Photos from the prison in El Salvador almost tempt one to believe in humanitarian military intervention. It's not just that this one guy shouldn't be there or even that we shouldn't ship anyone there -- it's a daily standing crime against humanity. The world should not tolerate its existence at all.

It's notable that rfk describes autistic children as a destroyed "resource" when he complains about autism stopping people from working. Here you see how eugenic ideology functions as a bridge between capital and fascism.

Still fuming about that press conference. The way RFK Jr. talks about autism is not just scientifically wrong—it’s deeply offensive. Calling autistic kids "damaged" or implying they’ve been "lost" or "stolen" doesn’t just spread misinformation—it dehumanizes real people.

I am for every day all of us turning our first focus on fascism (or, if you prefer, authoritarianism) itself. They are attacking and gaining ground on countless fronts. Time spent arguing with those with whom one could be in coalition is time fascism uses to seize more territory.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

The DHS spokesperson is now alleging that Mr. Abrego Garcia was arrested with "rolls of cash and drugs" and was "wearing what is effectively an MS-13 uniform" (Chicago Bulls gear). But: 1) He was arrested for loitering and not charged for anything 2) PGPD previously said they had no incident report
