...which had the purpose of circumventing the source country's laws on interrogation, detention, extradition and/or torture. Extraordinary rendition is a type of extraterritorial abduction.....a rendition that is extralegal, i.e. outside the law (see: kidnapping)."

Spot on, Rebecca.

rebeccasolnit.bsky.social•12 days ago

Deep bow to the Wikipedia author for this bold and truthful language. And disturbing that the precedents and terminology for this seem so forgotten.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraor...

Thanks for documenting the Wikipedia page. A DOGE intern is probably editing it as I write.

rebeccasolnit.bsky.social•12 days ago

Well then:

Striking that these other horrific kidnappings are being smiled upon by Team Trump. "The move has barred the transmission of evidence to prosecutors pursuing multiple criminal cases...." They're related.

This is frightening. People are likening this to human trafficking.

Maybe he pulled Tate back here to give him a job that his former best friend used to have 🤔

sociopathy, meet sociopathy

So, if the tiny orange bellend smiles on this behaviour, then they should be completely happy & wetting their knickers with excitement should Bibi or Vovochka be extraordinarily rendered?

Stephen Miller is definitely wearing Depends at the thought.

They've always been fans of family separation.

It's the party of rapists and war crimes.

link is truncated, but I think you are referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraordinary_rendition

Sigh. Gods of BlueSky, give me an edit feature!

Authors. I count at least a dozen contributors to that page.

joangrey.bsky.social•12 days ago

Clarity of language matters.

jos1463.bsky.social•12 days ago

Someone else on here said it was kidnapping/human trafficking. Sounds accurate to me.

curlewcurlew.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yes, kudos. But who else can do what about this?

maryjoankoch.bsky.social•12 days ago

My daughter Katherine Hawkins has been writing about extraordinary rendition for more than 20 years

Please reset your Bluesky settings to require alt text on images. You can use an ocr app for long text. Not using alt text excludes low vision folks.

Fucking terrifying

weserhag.bsky.social•12 days ago

semantic violence is the order of the day.

pegrr.bsky.social•12 days ago

In this administration's rush to police and ban language itself, we may soon see some of these words on a list.

Certainly anything that analyzes or discusses paradigms outside of brute aggression will be dangerous to them.

Have y'all seen how plausible it is to download All of Wikipedia?

tishado.bsky.social•6 days ago

This is human rights abuse on another level.

rlab53.bsky.social•12 days ago

Human trafficking

effinay.bsky.social•12 days ago

Human trafficking, and praise and support for human traffickers--especially sexual traffickers--is quite the throughline for Trump.

ggspastore.bsky.social•12 days ago

Calling it nazism and these prisons concentration camps wouldn't be wrong also, I guess.

dmartinfahey.bsky.social•12 days ago

It’s kidnapping and unlawful imprisonment. There is no way around that.

bill88.bsky.social•12 days ago

This is so far beyond the pale I cannot believe it’s happening…and when you listen to those who favor it they clearly have NO understanding of the legal due process afforded to EVERY person under US and International law. So people will randomly (eg tatoos) be criminalized?! Wtaf

pwor.bsky.social•12 days ago

Abducted.

eeiibb.bsky.social•12 days ago

trafficked and enslaved

seosamh.bsky.social•12 days ago

If they are being sent and forced to do labor in a prison run for profit in another country, the word I might use is “slave trade”

ilikenewspapers.bsky.social•12 days ago

agreed - it actually seems that some of these people were in the process of actual deportation back home but what happened for whatever reason is more like the war on terror extra-judicial disappearances to "dark sites"

sarahvb.bsky.social•12 days ago

Time to re-up that terrible movie with Meryl Streep and Reese Witherspoon!

jklausmeyer.bsky.social•12 days ago

They were sold into slavery.

piglet42.bsky.social•12 days ago

The word deportation has a second meaning besides "sending back to the country of origin". Especially in the original German, it's sinister implications are immediately understood.

Btw why do you screenshot a bsky post?

rebeccasolnit.bsky.social•12 days ago

I borrowed it from someone on FB is why.

sophiaflorence.bsky.social•12 days ago

They're also very clearly being sent to be used for labor in El Salvador. I think Hasan was correct to refer to this as outsourced slavery. That's very nakedly what it is.

kathycali48.bsky.social•12 days ago

Reading “Everybody Who is Gone Is Here” by Blitzer which is partly the story of the Bukele Salvador prisons in very graphic detail. (Doctor thrown in one for witnessing the police murder of an activist is tortured nearly to death.)
