Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

many of the same journalists who spent 2024 soft-pedaling the horrors of Trumpism now want you to believe that Joe Biden's age was the decisive reason for Kamala Harris's loss

Worth repeating that this woman AGREED TO LEAVE THE UNITED STATES. She said she would go back to Europe, where she held a valid visa that would allow her to temporarily stay. She just didn't want to go back to Russia, where she feared returning bc of her past persecution for political activities.

Dear Canada 🇨🇦 we love you and are proud to have you as our ally to the north. Stay exactly as you are. Trump’s nonsense about merging with the USA is absurd and doesn’t speak for us.

Lol. They released their 400 page US version of the Cass Review and refused to even name who the authors were. It's a glorified book report. Anyway, this is out now y'all. I'll be looking it over today. opa.hhs.gov/sites/defaul...

JK Rowling, Elon Musk, and Bobby Jr. If you don't think a few aggrieved fiends with ridiculous amounts of privilege can change history sharply for the worse, indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Remember that this is where his discussions with El Salvador began. The migrant detentions there are the dry run. He wants to ship U.S. prisoners to El Salvador.We cannot sleepwalk through this.

Trump is using the Alien Enemies Act to deport any immigrant he chooses And his lawyers claim nobody can even question his decisions Since this law was used to put Americans in concentration camps in WW2 And Trump claims he can apply it with absolute impunity This is a particularly chilling post

What should confound them is that it's EVIL! Annexing Canada is EVIL! Introducing this completely foreign idea from within his degenerate brain is EVIL! Humoring it is EVIL! Weighing its pros and cons is EVIL! Weighing its fucking electoral impact is EVIL! THREATENING OTHER COUNTRIES IS EVIL! God!
