Understand that this El Salvador gulag deportation was done partly in order to make the fascist video that the president now transmits, with his fascist message. The cameras are all set up in advance.

It intended to elicit fear. The dehumanising of prisoners. Conservatives display their belief in corporal punishment. It’s simply their sadistic nature. They’re sick!
Correct. Always pay attention to the production values of what you're watching. It's the manufacture of propaganda, often using skilled technologists and artists to heighten the effect. The Hollywood of political brainwashing.
Lack of due process run by incompetents and haters, and bad AI are going to get a lot of undeserving people sent to a foreign run hellhole so Trump can wash his bloody hands with “its out of our jurisdiction”.
Yes, why are they covering their faces/heads? Are they hiding from their own families??? And why are some of them wearing medical masks, I thought GOP is anti mask?
We’re witnessing the beginning of a new North American slave trade. Just drop a pvt sector operation like Erik Prince in the middle and with a little work it will get added to our GDP.

Let’s keep calling our Congress members until they are brought back. DOJ is dragging this out and meanwhile, youngsters who had no due process rights are stuck in a gulag. NEVER AGAIN.
What do we know about the airline, Global X or Global Crossing and it's role? Or payment for detentions of $6 mil? Quid pro quo? Why the hurry? Besides the optics, is there any underlying reason for this action?
Global Crossing is a charter airline based in Miami. It does most of the deportation flights, but also does private charters and cargo to many countries. (Hint to other nations: Ban them.)
Without sounding sarcastic, I had already read this. I mean what do we know about the relationship, if any, to the administration or any of the people involved? Are they just a random selection or is it a company that is complicit in something deeper? Nothing seems trustworthy.
Preach Timothy!
Many of the young voters don't know what this actually is.
Too busy thanking Trump for keeping TIKTOK. Of course, they don't see that he did that as a pacifier, so they don't watch him as he destroys the country.
Turn point USA is a machine of conservative propaganda, and now we're felling the effects. The Idiocracy of the population shows as a complete moral failing, and now the whole world will suffer for it.
and my charming governor, he who was gonna "Trump proof the state" just a couple of months ago, is sitting down and being chummy with Charlie Kirk over their mutual disdain for trans people (oh, in sports, just in sports, we're not *monsters*)
Yes. You could tell. More crucial is he defied a Judge’s injunction and everyone was complicit in going along with it. This is a “ speeding train” that must be stopped before it is too late.
Nuremberg trials, US Lieutenant General Clay directed a moral question to Germany that we still honor. "I do not see how you can demonstrate your ability for self-government nor your will for democracy if you are going to evade or shirk the first unpleasant and difficult task that falls upon you."
The trials taught us. You face the same question: Will you allow your democracy to be undermined? LG Clay made us fight for our democracy, and we continue to fight for it ever day. We in the EU see you waking up and protesting. Fiftyfifty,one is your day. Let this inspire you.
Heather Small: Proud.
I think Nuremberg fundamentally changed the way we understand justice and personal responsibility here in Europe. That understanding was beginning to fade after 80 years but is returning now.
So Trump and his band of criminals want us to "assume" these people are indeed criminals. Given we know for a fact that at least one of those taken was not a criminal, I'm not taking their word for shit.
I know nothing about actual film making, but that was a production that had been in the making for quite a while and that cost the American taxpayers a shit ton of money to produce. That wasn’t created by a dude with an iPhone.
@timothysnyder.bsky.social this video seems highly produced and highly coordinated. How did this all this happen Saturday night, all the buses, trucks, cars in unison. they all got matching white uniforms and shaved heads and the video was ready to go Sunday morning???
I am still not sure the greater population understands the meaning of fascist. Maybe the word dictator might get through. Maybe they are happy with the cruelty and unlawfulness.
And #complicitmedia won't note that it was all done while "the president" was golfing. Everyone so obsessed with Biden's "diminishment" is oddly silent now...
Because men shackled at their wrists and ankles need to be flanked by police in full body armor. What, no spit hoods were available to complete the look?
Maybe they liked the humiliation of the newly shaved heads more than the anonymity of spit hoods. Film director & producer chose for theatrical effects.
When narrative is more important (and more potent) than truth.
They're using every professional tool to lie with and they're killing any laws that'd make this a crimel.
They are literally screaming 'Fire' in a theater (America) and getting away with it.
America needs its Ukraine's Maiden Revolution.
Yes. Let me just point out that this administration wanted to make an example out of Chicago but were embarrassed when they were unable to do so because Chicagoans knew their rights. If not for that they would have filmed in Chicago I’m sure
Everything is reality tv to trump. Kinda of stunning that US democracy is going to go up in smoke because trump wants to make the “greatest” reality show ever seen.
Bukele is a cruel sadist same as Trump.
In my opinion, those people are not be from TDA, just like the Canadian woman and the German are not terrorists. They’re just people seeking a better life.
They didn’t know that with trump’s regime it’s a 3rd world country.
The president is a Turk ottoman.
His grandparents immigrated from Israel to avoid conscription in the cruel Ottoman army.
That’s, of course, back when the Ottomans were invading Israel.
This is a very important point. The "mass deportations" have lacked mass. To compensate apparently the Trump mob is making propaganda films. Very disturbing but also revealing.
How is it be legal to take people to a prison in a foreign country with no hearing or judgement of any kind? Trump truly thinks himself a king. He is absorbing Congress’ power and now judicial power as well. And democrats just watch this happen…
Well... actually they have made very small black signs on which they have painted in white letters some words of protest. They hold these signs up in Congress (?) from time to time.
Can we call
It something besides deportation since no judge gave deportation order? Removal, expulsion, “unlawful removal”
Or expulsion without charges or evidence? Just my thought, with extraordinary respect for you!
Who’s to guarantee that he will not be deporting people straight to the Siberian gulags next? Presumably his boss Putin needs more and more slave labour. We know how little the both of them value a human life
He isn't deporting them. It's human trafficking, and they are all being returned. Look at panama, everyone was returned. This is for the shock value. The photos of shaven heads in boxer shorts and chains. They masturbate to this stuff like hitler did.
Exactly. I think they have put them in concentration camps too. Peter Thiel and his thugs are building a city in El Salvador run by a corporation and I think they will use these people as slave labor to build it. This is the very definition of human trafficking.
I think the articles I have read said that it will be built. That's why I think they took those Venezuelans there so they can be slave laborers to build that city. That is the very definition of human trafficking.
When video of China doing similar things to Uyghur Muslims there was global outrage, of course, they were likely sent to a worse place than Venezuela, to a work prison, well, it depends upon your opinion, probably they'll be put into Venezuelan prisons, or recruited into the government or something.
It's not. Look at Bukele account in X. There are tons of them. Bukele put 2% of his population in jail in order to fight against gangs members and his propaganda loves this type of videos.
They're not Salvadoreans, they're using other countries to deny people from their rights to due process. This is the equivalent of the state disappearing people !!
Why can’t these people have a normal fkn fetish?? There are so many benign kinks out there, but they have to get their rocks off on shackles and head shaving.
Serious question Tim, is anyone that can actually do something listening to you? Are you advising Dem leaders? The weakness and cluelessness is infuriating. They need to be schooled ASAP, and get with the program, or we’re truly doomed. Right now I have no confidence or hope that we can be saved.
This isn't a gulag.
Gulags served a purpose by punishing fascists, and turning landlords into working men.
This is a slave plantation, which is the same kind of inhumanity the United States was founded on.
Well, Lenin already put his political opponents along side with kulaks (or whoever was deemed "too rich", some villages took volunteers or drew straws to fill their quota) into Gulags, Stalin just hat a lot more of them.
Just saw a post on Instagram with the clearly directed videos. The cheering in the comments reminded me of the Roman days when people were fed to the lions for entertainment. Branding them gang members makes it all the more sinister.
Governing through Spectacle is an expression of unlimited power over the outsider. Humiliation and degrading are authoritarian weapons in the Trump Arsenal.
We all understand. Americans aren’t going to “do” anything. They see clearly law and order and due process doesn’t exist - and they aren’t going to “do” anything because they think there’s law and order and process for themselves. That part.
Who filmed it? Who/what was the production company that did the editing? How much were they paid? What was the timeline of their filming/editing process? Who paid them?
The whole Presidency is being run like a Reality show. The Pam Bondi walk before his DOJ speech. The cameras with Zalinski, the camera in his cabinet meetings. Reality shows are scripted dramas to titillate the American people. So too is this Presidency scripted and produced for television.
Today, the Trump Administration defied a court order and disappeared people to a concentration camp in El Salvador, notorious for its human rights violations, with no due process. This is it. There is no more debate. Today, the United States crossed the line into fascism.
In so doing he's actively hurting Red State voters and militia people, because they've lined up to be hurt first. You're mistaken that his path is to dictatorship: he's taking us on an intentional fall, and attacking his own people first because they trust him.
I agree that his supporters are going to suffer the most under his regime.
I do think that he wants to be a dictator in that he does not think that he answers to the court, to Congress, to the Constitution or to the courts.
What he wants is irrelevant: he's Putin's puppet from way way back. And a profoundly stupid and mentally unwell man, also from way way back. Sure he wants to be king and play-acts one, but watch the collapse of his 'kingdom' and tell me he's in control of that. He's a wrecking ball for Putin, period
It didn't cross the line into fascism last year when the government sent riot police to brutalize peaceful student protesters? What about when thousands of innocent people are brutalized by the police... every single year for the last... forever? Do you really think fascism began today? Seriously?
With a confederate in the crowd with live ammo to literally shoot and kill one of his own people in the crowd behind him for versimilitude and to make it impossible to argue with. I bet Trump didn't sign off on that part, and I bet I know who did.
How are we safer? If they are criminal masterminds, don't we want to keep them in the US? Sending them to El Salvador makes it easy for them to escape and/or continue their criminal activity from jail.
Again, he's not cuffing & kidnapping these human beings himself, there are people doing this for him, they are complicit in this and should be outed & judged as the Gestapo was
They say that all it takes were evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing… but that’s not true. Evil has never had any power without the active support of the police and military.
He's reportedly been very disappointed that his goons haven't captured more immigrants to deport thus failing to produce the media blitz and photo ops he hoped for.
#sandinthegears are these planes staffed by Prince's goons? I know commercial pilots & sadly know that our legacy airlines have religious &/or Fat Hitler-supporting aviators in our cockpits. WTF.
They are using plays from Bukele’s book. When CECOT opened ES admin made a big video show of it too. They also declared gangs as terrorists and used martial law.
ES situation was very bad. Nearly 100 killed by gangs in two days so extreme measures were taken.

It's as if they were front-row, A+ students of a Goebbels masterclass in the subject.
And it's not limited to their messaging.
Their entire approach seems highly professional.

Trump's view on "rogue judges" matches this. Now look up who Hans Frank was! 😱
Twenty five defendants were found not guilty.
Many of the prisoners were released early in the 1950s as a result of pardons.
Thirteen of the 24 death sentences were executed.
Thousands of guilty Nazis took their own lives, and thousands more escaped to other countries.
Not at all simple or easy.
Tens of thousands of Nazis were imported into the US after WW2. The ideological poison they brought with them, is what we can see in action now.

To maximize the time til the martial law decree comes down. Do you have any thoughts on the tactics that would maximize our resilience?
He will defy all court orders from here on out.
There is no one that will stop him.
I do think that he wants to be a dictator in that he does not think that he answers to the court, to Congress, to the Constitution or to the courts.
Putin put Trump in place to weaken the US and all of Trump supporters are cheering him on.
