Question of the day: Why do I suspect that many of those who today wrap themselves in Christian identity — the kind of person who puts “Christ follower” in their twitter bios — would actually have chosen Barabbas? open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Trump's immigration actions are not self-executing; individual people ultimately have to carry them out. Who are those people, and what are they thinking? Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/inside-the...

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.

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.

BRING HIM HOME.* "Trump is in an impossible situation. He cannot allow Abrego Garcia to come home because (a) it would be capitulation to the Supreme Court, and (b) Abrego Garcia cannot be allowed to testify about what he saw and experienced at CECOT. So Democrats must make Trump pay."

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.
