Here in San Salvador, @vanhollen.senate.gov says he doesn’t even know it Kilmer Abrego Garcia is still alive. They won’t let him visit him in prison or even speak to him by phone

Here's an alternate fantasy author who isn't an absolute cunt: Ursula K Le Guin

I have a story about due process in a mass adjudicatory setting. A while back, there was this group called the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints that had a compound in rural Texas. Well these FLDS folks dressed funny (like bonnets and long dresses and suspenders and corncob pipes funny).

Whatever happened to Susan Boyle

worth reiterating that in literally any other context a 10% tariff on Japan alone would be getting wall to wall financial news coverage, would be considered the largest trade war escalation in modern American history and the dumbest economic policy move by a President in decades

My first and last word on her or her stupid fucking wizard shit

What's "consent of the governed"

Best shitposting on the Internet, stat

Lawn mower outside. Kids inside. Instructions clear.

This is the least we should all be doing to protect the most vulnerable. And don’t forget: we’re all vulnerable now.

They have no problem sending SWAT into schools to grab migrant kids, but when it’s an active shooter they use those children as human shields.

report with alt text community-led arrest preventions or de-arrests are incredibly effective. UK antifascists have done this to great success to protect refugees over the past 5 years. all about how quickly you can get people on the street to crowd the scene

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.

There are two kinds of libertarians: Those who oppose the state because they reject hierarchy and oppression, and view the state as the main tool for imposing both, and those who oppose the state because they support hierarchy and oppression and view the state as the main barrier to achieving both.

This is so fucked up. ICE agents in Massachusetts smashed the window of a car to grab a Guatemalan guy who was with his wife. They were waiting for their lawyer to arrive because he has a pending asylum case. Story via @wcvb5.bsky.social: www.wcvb.com/article/ice-...

Yes, Abrego García was engaged in human trafficking, but there's a nuance.

No, you thinking about the other one

The way Bukele was treated in the oval vs. Zelenskyy is all you need to know.

I'm a little tired of listening to Quintet in E-Major on your voicemail, @duckworth.senate.gov

I wasn't able to reach the office of @duckworth.senate.gov by phone for over two weeks.

We are a nation of laws, we don't outsource justice. Any government is responsible for anyone in their care, that's the most basic social contract. Rendering anyone into a foreign prison and claiming no jurisdiction after is ludicrous.

I think the whistleblower needs to call the police?

File impeachment articles that are just direct quotes from the Declaration of Independence

Buska Menor would never

Been saying that for years: LHC did warp us into a black hole and we are beyond the event horizon.
