I was never worried about the military being weaponized. THIS was my worst nightmare and I’m not surprised he went straight to a “home-grown” army to carry out his hate. 👇🏼

Andrew Cuomo is functionally a Republican. Do not vote for him, friends. Don't even include him in your top five in the ranked voting. Ice him out completely.

Republicans whine that this is “letting him off on a technicality.” But the “technicality” is that, even given the chance to do so, the government could produce no evidence for its accusations.

Foreign students typically pay top-dollar on tuition, subsidizing US students. That is a huge financial investment, more expensive than anywhere else in the world. Why make such an investment when it can be cancelled because you got a speeding ticket? Who wants to live in fear for four years?

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that you are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back? The answer is due process.

It's not freaking allowed to admit that it doesn't know something, so its programming forces it to feed you BS if it doesn't have an answer that is a good plagiarism of informed writing.

The student paper at the college at which I teach reports a "tsunami of takedown requests" from international students terrified of being targeted for innocuous, legitimate op-eds & opinions.. Many ask in person--leave no trace in writing. Reminds me of my father's account of studying in the USSR.

A big reason the fascist administration doesn't want Mr. Abrego Garcia back in the U.S. is because they know that when he tells his story in his own words more people will be disgusted.

Again if he is a criminal, there are laws with prescribed punishments depending on the crime, none of which are "deportation to a death camp"

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

Let’s be clear: closing Social Security offices, cutting staff, and making it harder for seniors to get information and help IS a benefit cut. We cannot let two billionaires take away Americans' hard-earned benefits.

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing. "That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done." "That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."

I'm a lawyer and this is correct. Straight line of "blatantly illegal constitutional end-runs to violate human rights" from Iran–Contra to Gitmo to CECOT paved by the only consequences the perpetrators suffering being more money, more power, and more prestige.

Excellent thread and it supports my contention that any analysis of Trump or even straightforward description of his behavior has to start from a psychological perspective explaining his irrational psychological motives and defense mechanisms. The crazy is too strong not be central.
