Sen. Chris Van Hollen's trip to El Salvador to visit Kilmar Abrego Garcia and broker the release of an innocent man is admirable. Border Czar Tom Homan said he should stay home and help his constituents. "Hey, Tom!" Mr. Abrego Garcia IS one of Sen. Van Hollen's constituents, you flatulent jackass.

This made me snort.

That the United States is not only sanctioning such shocking inhumanity, but is also *paying* for it, is so despicable. And that silence you hear is not one conservative "Christian" speaking out against it.

"Every once in a while, Trump has a day — a single, 24-hour period — in which his authoritarian vision comes into sharp relief..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

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.

It's not relevant whether Abrego Garcia has committed thousands of crimes. Disappearing him off to an El Salvadorean maximum security prison *without due process* is wholly illegal totalitarian bullshit. Everyone who has been sent there by this administration should be brought back, not just him.

We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025. Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

Churches/Pastors, If you won’t speak up on behalf of the least of these, if you aren’t willing to leverage your pulpits in the cause of the imprisoned—just what in the hot-and-humid hell are you opening your doors for? johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/if-your-ch...

OMG.

I wonder how the Supreme Court feels about granting Donald Trump immunity for official acts now that one of those official acts is telling the Supreme Court to shove their ruling and fuck the fuck off.

Time to boycott products from El Salvador. I'll be checking labels: Top 5 Salvadoran Exported Products T-shirts: $590.99 million Sweaters: $386.66 million Packaging/transportation articles: $306.22 million Sugar: $241.26 million Toilet paper: $191.9 million Sugar: A Resilient Agricultural Export

By the time major media agree that it's a dictatorship, it will be so far along that they'll be afraid to call it a dictatorship.

This guy released dangerous criminals convicted of violently assaulting police officers into our streets.

This is what America is like

This is to the shame of our country

Join your local protest on April 19th. Spread the word.

The CORRUPTION of this Administration will be taught by Historians for Years to come. And not in a good light! SMDH! 🤨🤔🧐😤

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

Times up......

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

This is the most beautiful tribute to Canada I have ever seen.Thank you Adam Schiff 💙🇨🇦 youtu.be/hcrL88Jwhsg?...

Many eligible American women will be ineligible to vote if the SAVE act is passed. It has passed the House. Do Not let it pass the Senate. #saveact #jimcrow2025 #womensrighttovote #protectwomensrighttovote

We Canadians can show any of 33 different pieces of ID to be eligible to vote. Everything from a letter from your priest to a Driver's License. I have NEVER heard of a Canadian that was NOT permitted to register AND vote on election day. A true democracy does not live in fear of its electorate. 🇨🇦

I hate to say this, and it gives me the chills just to think it, but CECOT is on (and not a short way down) the road to Auschwitz.

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

The 500 richest people in the world added $304B to their combined net worth yesterday after Trump's tariff pause. Meanwhile, retirees, small businesses, and workers are still reeling from the mess. Trump's actions feel chaotic until you see who really comes out on top.

The Logic of Destruction By Timothy Snyder

I think this may be one of HCR’s most important letters yet. It’s all about the racism.

Sure was a lucky break for those billionaires to be at the White House today when the tariffs were reversed. Good day in the market for them.

Un.friggin.believable.

See how this works? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Any traders with inside information that Trump was going to walk back his tariffs — some of them, presumably, Trump family members and cronies — just made a fortune. It all feels like chaos until you look more closely at who is winning.
