Prove that you didn’t just snatch a legal resident of the United States off the streets and ship him to a foreign country for illegal detention. Has he been convicted of a crime? Has he been formally charged and appeared before a court? This administration is behaving like the terrorist.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

'As NPR’s Steven Inskeep put it: “[the] president has launched a trade war against the world, believes he can force the EU & China to meet his terms, is determined to annex Canada & Greenland, but is powerless before the sovereign might of El Salvador. Is that it?”' open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

The Framers were very clear with differentiation. They said “citizen” when they meant citizen and said “person(s)” when they meant everyone. There is a reason only a citizen can be president, but all persons are protected under the 5th amendment.

Sanders: A woman is walking down the street, a car stops, and these guys — in plain clothes and masks — grab her, throw her into the car, and take off. That happened in Vermont today. That’s the kind of thing that happens in dictatorships, not in a democracy.

If you hear about a citizen of another nation being kidnapped without due process and held hostage in a foreign prison and think, “I’m an American citizen, this is not my problem,” you are missing the reality of what these fascists intend.

The president of the United States and the president of El Salvador have conspired to kidnap a man and hold him hostage in an El Salvador prison. This criminality ignores the rule of law and thumbs its nose at a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate his return.

The President just used the Oval Office to talk about his desire to send U.S. citizens to a prison hellscape in El Salvador. That’s not law and order—that’s unhinged. It’s not strength. It’s fucking sick. Republicans in Congress could stop this, but they won’t.

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not. An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.
