bodies being leased out to foreign countries. For what—slave labor, book bending, to prove a point, perhaps? & how did Rubio frame it?

“—the most unprecedented and extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world,” he said.”

I think you should have a second look at what Shumer's reasoning is. Seriously.

michaelseel.bsky.social•22 days ago

Tell us.

veramedea.bsky.social•22 days ago

I can't find the link. I'm truly sorry. The problem with a condensed version is that it is NOT a simple point, so reducing it triggers more questions. BUT,
1. shutting down the govt would trigger more powers to Trump, rendering lawful things he wants to do that currently aren't, so in addition

veramedea.bsky.social•22 days ago

2. to what he gets in the CR, he gets more power to do more damage, and because of those triggers, there would be no recourse in the courts (which, incidentally, wouldn't be operating if govt shut down). Currently he is trampling the law left and right, but to take away our legal right to challenge

veramedea.bsky.social•22 days ago

3. those actions would be nuts. There are myriad other deeply damaging effects of govt shutdown, but the most immediate result would be giving him more power -- like throwing a match on gasoline soaked tinder.

It won't fit in the space allotted, so give me a chance to break it down into parts.

Remember the Alien Enemy’s Act was used to force Japanese-American (US citizens) into internment camps on US soil. Reparations were paid to a portion of those still living but many lost livelihoods, homes, and savings with no reimbursement.

What was done in the 1940s was wrong. What does that have to do with using it correctly now to get rid of criminals who are terrorizing our communities?

atomicbionic.bsky.social•20 days ago

In short, there is no correct way to use a war time authority that
Violates the very core tenants of democracy.

getbacktologic.bsky.social•20 days ago

These international gangs have been correctly labeled terrorist organizations basically they can be treated like military combatants. Like all other terrorists who were in Guantanamo Bay over the last 20 years they can be held or expelled without due process.

atomicbionic.bsky.social•20 days ago

No. That’s not how this works. War time authority isn’t “whenever I feel we’re at war.” I’m sure your local community college can help you with an entry level Civics or American history class.

atomicbionic.bsky.social•20 days ago

It’s a war time authority. We are not at war. It circumvents due process which is an stronghold of democracy. It was a violation of civil rights back then and it’s a violation of civil rights now.

For years he said he'd invoke it, and now he has. It's sad that people don't pay attention or don't mind.

Fortunately (for now) the courts will stop him.

afishinschool.bsky.social•15 days ago

@wajali.bsky.social is there any reporting happening on the long-term fate of those already deported? I haven’t seen anything about what happens after the 1-year the US paid for. Are they essentially at the mercy of El Salvador whether they ever leave the prison, or the country? Is this Gitmo 2.0?

gatita.bsky.social•22 days ago

And I believe there’s an emergency hearing on this today. The judiciary may save us yet.

Why haven't their names been released? Where is the proof that these are truly criminals, and not racially-profiled Americans?

chardypeeres.bsky.social•22 days ago

Um, didn’t a court just preemptively shut this down though?

thebluenami.bsky.social•22 days ago

this is so very bad…on so many levels…

f$&k

people will be arrested without cause, rounded up, sent to undisclosed camps, and no due process…

bekossy.bsky.social•20 days ago

This has chilled me more than anything.

my3angels.bsky.social•22 days ago

The judge immediately paused it.

The DoJ is now saying something about inherent article 2 authority.. OutRAGEous! This is the same article enacted to have Japanese camps! 🤢

tg2.bsky.social•22 days ago

He's waiting for larger protests to start so he can declare it an emergency and set up martial law. I wouldn't doubt this to be the end game to finally take full control with the military.

upstatedem.bsky.social•22 days ago

MAGA incels everywhere are headed to their bedrooms to take matters into their own hands.

ready to fight!

getbacktologic.bsky.social•20 days ago

This is the logic of the left you're ready to fight for what for rapist and murderers who are in our country illegally terrorizing our children? President Trump is saying we dare you to come to our country this is what will happen to you thankfully we have a president who represents Americans.

nwcs-jnas.bsky.social•20 days ago

Hi, We all agree that rapists and child molesters should be punished after being proven guilty. The problem is that no one has proven these men to be gang members. The only evidence Trump has is their skin color- do you see how vile this is act is now?

getbacktologic.bsky.social•19 days ago

These people are definitely here illegally and they are definitely gang members and this has nothing to do with them being Hispanic. You would have to ask the Biden administration why they decided to open our Southern border to predominantly Hispanics.

nwcs-jnas.bsky.social•19 days ago

I see, I see. You're right, I would have guessed Canadians to pour through the southern border. And there's public documentation that these people are rapists that you've reviewed as well. Thank you for your input!

okiimomo.bsky.social•19 days ago

Can the rapist white guy that visited the White House be disappeared?

okiimomo.bsky.social•20 days ago

ew X trolls made it over here.

rotnes.bsky.social•22 days ago

Listen to his rant at the DoJ.
This is just the beginning of a Kristalnacht like cleanse.
He's testing the boundaries of his powers.
He will be coming for all opposition with violence.
