this is great to hear!

THANK YOU

Genuine question: how can you sue someone for some you expect them to do?

dara59.bsky.social•80 days ago

They’ve already used this for a couple of people they have detained

zogmam1.bsky.social•80 days ago

Oh ok

lsstern.bsky.social•79 days ago

thank you for ALL your hard work

tinkerbell2.bsky.social•80 days ago

This has to get fast-tracked to SCOTUS. The longer it takes, the more Alien Enemies Act seems like the status quo. I can't emphasize enough importance of keeping the Offensive field. We need to see 10x more lawsuits. The lawyers need to hear from you victims, with standing to sue Felon47's admin.

communismwillwin.com•80 days ago

I agree with your concern but I don’t think that the court will decide in the way you want. Especially since there is already legal precedent for this being invoked.

tinkerbell2.bsky.social•80 days ago

I know SCOTUS is corrupt, but some are sane enough to know letting an exec use it to arrest people whose opinions disagree is a precedent for all execs, not just Felon47. 2-4 don't intend ever to have one they don't like, but the ass is almost 80yo. Some SCOTUS live in reality, to some degree.

communismwillwin.com•80 days ago

I think their corruption is the end of the story. I hope you’re right but we have no reason to suspect they’ll rule against it.

tinkerbell2.bsky.social•80 days ago

I'm not prognosticating how SCOTUS will rule. But it IS where it WILL end, and sooner is better. Shock and awe. Wallow in pity privately, because spreading defeatism demoralizes people who've moved on to the battlefield we have, not the one we want.

communismwillwin.com•80 days ago

I think we are essentially saying the same thing. I would just point out that there is absolutely no evidence we should think the outcome will be beneficial and should start to prepare accordingly.

tinkerbell2.bsky.social•80 days ago

It was invoked <80 years ago immediately after a pre-emptive strike and DECLARATION OF WAR against us. No ambiguity. Where ever his multitude of "deportees" come from have NOT declared war against the USA, nor have they attacked us.

tinkerbell2.bsky.social•80 days ago

I meant >80 years ago. 85, right?

communismwillwin.com•80 days ago

Would you put money and/or your life that the current sham court would agree with your reading?

tinkerbell2.bsky.social•80 days ago

Why would I have to? It's the only ultimate conclusion, not an option. My point is SPEED. Are you arguing you think pols or the public can stop it from reaching SCOTUS, and if so for what purpose? He'll use AEA and make it status quo while you stop it from reaching SCOTUS? What's the sense of that?

communismwillwin.com•80 days ago

And no I don’t think anyone can stop it

Reportedly, Canadian citizens have been detained by ICE.
He has declared war against Canada (yes, economic sanctions are an act of war) so…don’t continue to be surprised by the acts to follow: more people deemed as “others” will be targeted.

tinkerbell2.bsky.social•80 days ago

Only thanks to plane problems, F Elon/Felon47 failed to pull that fast one to reverse the status quo yesterday. A judge raced to the courthouse to block him from removing Venezuelan nationals out of the USA without due process of law. CN safe by law, for now. Step it up @americanbar.org

tinkerbell2.bsky.social•80 days ago

The problem is F'Elon/Felon47s rogue lawlessness, not America's government, doing these illegal things. Remember the felon said he will deport Bishop Rev Budde because he didn't like her SERMON in HER church. Her grandpa was Navy Rear Adm Belknap, descended from grandparents born 1622 Massachusetts.

communismwillwin.com•80 days ago

I think if the government has brought us here the government is indeed the problem.

tinkerbell2.bsky.social•80 days ago

US Constitution Art.I giving Congress SOLE power to make LAW includes sole to START war:"To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;..." Art.III SCOTUS' 1 job is to uphold Constitution. Art.II exec's job is to uphold both Art.I&III law

tinkerbell2.bsky.social•80 days ago

...And can't Canada's prosecutors file suit in US courts? I'm pretty sure they can. And they should. They must. File many. Vast majority of licensed US lawyers won't work for DOJ. Busy the few they have with as many lawsuits as possible @americanbar.org @marcelias.bsky.social @normeisen.bsky.social

communismwillwin.com•80 days ago

And it’s been illegally ignored. See the drone program, other operations. It does not matter that Congress has the sole authority if it can be ignored. Congress also has the power to allocate funds but that is being usurped as well

Regardless, Fred Korematsu eventually won, its application was unjust in ww2 too. It should be struck from the books.

Putin gives Americans a pat on the back , good bye Americans, Canada 🇨🇦

ameshid.bsky.social•80 days ago

Thank you. These actions by the Trump administration have terrorized communities and are not helping anyone. Deporting criminals is justified but taking hard working, tax paying everyday integrated Americans into custody without any due process is horrifying.

The flurry of racist FB comments on this post is alarming - so glad to be here on bluesky 😮‍💨

tinkerbell2.bsky.social•80 days ago

Speed of attack on indy speech gobsmacks. Was it this fast in 1930 Germany? Googling for printed signs to buy for protests, option 1 Amazon, 2 Etsy that has lots but each separate shipping. Search "anti-Trump signs" w/Amazon shipping=3, then rest & more pages all pro- signs, some crude. Fuck Bezos.

iwan2travel.bsky.social•80 days ago

You haven’t been on the worse Twitter rage. “A little pain is okay” their version of “ends justify the means”

tinkerbell2.bsky.social•80 days ago

So right. My uncle who was Alex P Keaton before Family Ties created the character notably would repeat that Nixon-era line, literally, "the ends justifies the means."

rockney.bsky.social•80 days ago

He is a cruel traitor and Russian agent.

trollblod.bsky.social•80 days ago

Resist the tyrants!

iwan2travel.bsky.social•80 days ago

I do so very much hope that every tactic you facilitate works and you successfully stop this fascist from destroying our democracy!

mastinmusings.bsky.social•79 days ago

I'm all in favour of using the Alien Enemies Act...for Zionists.
They are foreign agents who have corrupted the US government for decades, up to the point that they will imprison US citizens to serve Israel's interests.

We keep telling but they don’t want to believe it … just exactly how Nazis came to power and almost destroyed the world.

Along with the ACLU of DC and @democracyforward.org, we’ll see President Trump in court.

Every single day it gets worse. WE THE PEOPLE need to unite and protest the takeover of our democracy. If we do nothing, we are complicit in allowing this bafoon to crown himself the King.

Thanks to the ACLU, for all you do!

Charge him for the deaths of Epstein and Ivana

mojobaby.bsky.social•80 days ago

Thank you, ACLU!!!

jasonegenberg.bsky.social•79 days ago

Trump just weaponized a 225-year-old law to rewrite immigration—and the courts stand in his way. If he wins, this won’t stop with immigrants. Protesters, journalists, political opponents—who’s next? The precedent will outlive him. Here’s what’s at stake

Thank you ACLU!
