Rep Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY): “Mr. Abrego Garcia must be returned immediately before he is killed in one of the most dangerous prisons in the world. Enough with the fake bravado. This is not America. The Supreme Court must aggressively enforce its order immediately.”

The refusal to provide people due process before shipping them off to foreign prisons is criminal and intolerable. It must not be normalized. Everyone who believes in justice and America needs to speak up now.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

Art of the deal

wtf?

our founders anticipated a Donald Trump, but they failed to anticipate a cowardly and compliant Republican party

EXCLUSIVE: A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

Trump has already cost our economy billions in tourism revenue. I am so embarrassed to live in a country that could elect this man. I gifted this article so you can see the charts and see how severely Trump has hurt our economy already. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Authoritarianism

(Bloomberg) - The US economy is set to lose billions of dollars in revenue in 2025 from a pullback in foreign tourism and boycotts of American products, adding to a growing list of headwinds keeping recession risk elevated. @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This is it. We’ve abandoned Europe and our allies for a Third World tinpot dictator.

"After all these years in and around politics, I’d like to think I have a pretty strong stomach, but yesterday was sickening... This was not newsreel footage of two dictators meeting somewhere far away and long ago. This was yesterday. Here in the Oval Office." www.thebulwark.com/p/two-dictat...

Remember this?

Wouldn't it be nice if every news outlet that covered the Bukele Oval Office meeting noted: District court wrote: Abrego Garcia "has never been charged with or convicted of any crime."⤵️ Fourth Circuit: The government presented "NO EVIDENCE" of MS-13 affiliation. Abandoned argument before court. ⤵️

Um so, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @schumer.senate.gov, as leaders, now would be a good time to inform the public about El Salvador keeping Garcia a prisonner, and publicly ask the Supreme Court what they intend to do about this. Force accountability and shit, be accountable to us! Thanks!

Trump is now talking about shipping U.S. citizens to prisons in El Salvador. Let me say that again: U.S. citizens. To foreign prisons. This is not just unconstitutional—it’s unhinged.

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.

🚀🚀

No American can afford to ignore the systematic erosion of what it means to be American. We are way past political and ideological disagreements. What’s at stake is our adherence to the Constitution and rule of law. What safeguards all of our rights. Without it, we cease to be America.

ANOTHER ONE! Donald Trump didn’t just deport Albrego Garcia to a foreign torture prison—he deported a Venezuelan teenager who wasn’t even the intended target. His name is Merwil Gutiérrez. He wasn’t in a gang. He wasn’t a threat. And even Trump’s own administration admitted he wasn't the target.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Deporting America citizens to a foreign gulag seems…dictatory.

HE IS PROMISING TO SEND AMERICANS TO FOREIGN DEATH CAMPS. This is it. This is where America ends.

If what Trump said in the Oval Office today doesn’t send a chill up your spine, then you’ve forgotten what America is.

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

A MORAL CRISIS “The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored. If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.” Take 3 minutes. This is important.

The constitutional crisis is here. The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador. youtu.be/HGTIELDTHOo?...

Did Bukele even say thank you for the captives we sent him?

Great point. We send him money, we send him captives, and he won’t even send any of the captives back when we don’t ask him to. And not a word of gratitude to boot.

This was honestly the most disturbing day yet. And I’m including J6.

Trump essentially told the Supreme Court to kiss off today. This is, by definition, an autocracy, explicitly illegal. Stand up now or it will be too late.

On this day, April 14, 2025, the President of the United States openly defied the Supreme Court’s unanimous opinion of April 10, 2025, ordering him to “facilitate Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador

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.

Please don’t underestimate how much FUN Donald Trump, Salvadoran dictator Nayib Bukele, Stephen Miller and Pam Bondi had today pissing on the grave of Abrego Garcia—a permanent legal resident of America with no record, a US-citizen wife, and 3 US-citizen kids. This is their JAM.

The Supreme Court told Trump to bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The Trump administration is publicly mocking the high court now and refusing to comply with court orders. Here’s why ⤵️

America, every day he forces us to decide what kind of country we want to be. Like today - he wants to put American citizens in El Salvador prisons. It’s illegal, it’s unconstitutional, but he wants to do it & he’ll try to do it. So what say u America? The Constitution/the law or Trump? You choose.

Russian ballistic missiles ripped through the busy center of Ukraine’s northeastern city of Sumy on Sunday, officials said, killing at least 34 people and striking terror into residents who were out enjoying Palm Sunday and attending morning church services. cnn.it/4jcRXfN

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

He never misses an opportunity to not criticize Russia — even when they murder 35 people on Palm Sunday

Basically: I don’t think people understand that 36 hours from now it’s possible that America will have a formalized system for abducting enemies of the regime and stashing them in foreign gulags, indefinitely. www.thebulwark.com/p/bukele-abr...
