Donald Trump is deporting legal US residents to a foreign gulag, and he has stated publicly that he is moving on to citizens next. This is a Constitutional crisis. Will a single Republican stand up for our Constitution?

I'm a one-issue voter in the 2028 presidential election (besides that I'd like to have one), and that's: You will solemnly swear to put these Nazis on trial. All of them.

Maybe for the next American republic we should try a parliamentary system.

It is essential for the rule of law that everyone involved in this end up in prison. Nothing else is a sufficient deterrent against the intentional, repeated abuse of government power to systematically deny fundamental rights.

Greg entered Michigan’s juvenile system at the age of 11. He recalls lawyers pressured him to plead guilty and didn’t explain court fees to him. “All they were saying is guilty, guilty, guilty. Let’s plead out.” He amassed over $10,000 in court debt. boltsmag.org/michiga...

We are in a constitutional crisis. Not “maybe” but yes that’s where we are. The executive branch has chosen to defy the judicial branch. They have chosen to defy the rule of law & due process. Return Mr Abrego Garcia now.

Child abuse. But I'm not surprised he would double down. The cognitive dissonance here must be overwhelming. If he accepted his responsibility for his daughter's death I'm sure he would top himself.

These two posts: * “We need to treat antifa and BLM like terrorist organizations,” said Joe Kent, Trump’s pick to lead counter-terrorism efforts. * Trump to Bukele (president of El Salvador): “Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It’s not big enough.” 1/

this is scary, of course, but keep in mind that joe kent lost to a democrat, twice, in a very trumpy district. these people are not popular, these threats are not popular, and we outnumber them, by a lot.

Every college and university should do this to remind Americans that attacks on these institutions are actually attacks on all of us.

Reminder: the federal government relies on you giving them power they don’t have. Mass deportation has been made difficult for ICE by migrants simply not opening their doors. ICE got all them Call of Duty ass weapons and getting stifled by the same level defense used against Jehovah’s Witnesses.

every protest or march or action shows people that if they act, others will have their back. it may not be a 100% credible signal or guarantee, but it's a signal.

It looks very much like the Department of Homeland Security memo seeking to revoke Ozturk's visa copied language directly from the Canary Mission website. Is DHS just following the "deport list" from an anonymous website? donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-attack...

America's home-grown violent criminals includes hundreds of people who attacked the US on Jan. 6, 2021. With due process, they were found guilty of felonies in court by unanimous juries. These criminals are now out of jail, not rendered to El Salvador without due process, because Trump let them out.

El Salvador is a contractor providing the United States with a paid service. The idea that we couldn’t get anyone they’re holding back with the snap of a finger just by asking is so ludicrous on its face, it seems less like a real excuse and more like a test of how much shit the courts will eat.

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.” (h/t @titonka.bsky.social @michelekelemen.bsky.social)
