He’s threatening the free press. He wants to ship Americans to foreign prisons. He’s using executive orders to go after ex-staff who dare to speak out. He’s ignoring the Supreme Court. This isn’t politics. This is authoritarianism in real time. Wake up.

The Doge effect. You see first you screw things up so bad that they don't work. Then you complain that the system doesn't work then you replace it with something private that cost more and pays out less. v.redd.it/6k9q8fbwo3ve1

ICE has just sent an innocent 19-year old young man named Merwil Gutiérrez to El Salvador to die in the same concentration camp. He wasn’t even their target, and they kidnapped him anyway. Jesus Christ, people. Wake up.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

This is something we can all do.👇🏼 File a complaint with the FL and DC Bar to have Pam Bondi disbarred for not complying with the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to return Mr. Garcia from El Salvador.

Trump’s policies could cost the U.S. economy $90 billion this year in lost tourism and export revenue. Many foreign visitors are avoiding the U.S. over concerns about increased hostility at the border, including reports about European tourists being detained for weeks in U.S. immigration centers.

If Karoline Leavitt or anyone in this administration has receipts showing that Mr. Garcia is a member of MS-13, or engaged in human trafficking, they’d be presenting them in a power point presentation every single day.

Dear universities and law firms, You can't "buy Trump off." If you do what he asks, he'll think he owns you and he'll demand more and more. You'll never be done with him. Appeasement is surrender. Resist. Sincerely, Mark

If the Trump regime brought Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to Maryland, it could hold a hearing and probably kick him out of the country. But Trump wants more than that. He wants the right to kidnap people and ship them to foreign hellholes without due process. That’s the “principle” he’s fighting for.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and their three children, and has never been charged with any crime. The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

A convicted criminal had an innocent man criminally deported. The courts demanded that the innocent man be brought back home. The criminal criminally ignored the courts, and then said "isn't it wonderful that we're keeping criminals out of country?"

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

It is legally impossible to deport citizens. This is not deportation. Removing citizens to foreign prisons, knowing to a certainty that they will be subjected to treatment that violates the U.S. constitution, doesn’t deserve any label that connotes legal legitimacy.
