There is no hell but the one Brian Thompson is in. I’m an angry leftist— paying attention for decades made me this way. If I offend you, know it’s only because we’re both workers who should be united and friends - and I’m mad we’re not.

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.

Huh, for some reason this quote from the ICE official who nabbed Rümeysa Öztürk sounds familiar...

"I think it's only a matter of time before [a state attorney general] figures out how to file state kidnapping charges against those that are abducting people who are in the country legally..." says former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley.

12 Dem Senators and 48 Dem House members voted for the Laken Riley Act—allowing US Govt to deport immigrants on the mere accusation of a crime. As you see those 60 Dems complain about Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, or Kilmar Abrego Garcia, among many more—please know they enabled this fascism.

Dictatorships grab people off the street and jail them. Dictatorships demonize vulnerable minorities. Dictatorships destroy data. Dictatorships reject independent courts. Dictatorships buy the backing of the super-rich. Dictatorships persecute dissidents. See what’s happening, fellow Americans.

I think I figured it out. No one with power or visibility is DOING anything USEFUL bc they are SCARED. They KNOW we are in danger. So instead of THEM being targeted or imprisoned, they’ll let the regular people have it.

We’re sending the guy with 0 felony convictions to a horrible prison in El Salvador and keeping the guy with 34 to run the country? Insane.

Folks mean well when they say ie Concentration camps are unamerican, Ignoring due process is unamerican, etc; they mean it's bad & it violates their preferred US political culture. I agree, but unfortunately it's also super duper American at the same time, & we have to reckon with that at some point

This. Please understand this. We’re going to need a lot of them to defect.

I'll say it again: in a country where due process is individually denied and then broadly eroded and eventually eliminated, being a citizen will not protect you from the terror of this administration.

The idea that there’s a loophole for due process if they just ship you to a slave labor gulag immediately is so offensively stupid that it’s hard to wrap your mind around.

Trump & Bukele are 100% fascist and that’s not controversial to say anymore. They’re textbook fascists.

Every Dem Senator and Rep should have been protesting in front of Congress during that obscenity today. Every single elected Official who believes in due process. Not a peep

I do not-and I cannot stress this enough-give any amount of fucks that a bunch of celebrities I don’t know went to space for 5 minutes. I do care that the Trump administration is disappearing whole ass ppl & defying federal court orders to bring them back.

So far I’d say it’s been bloodless. One might wonder if there is a Bernie and AOC shaped valve that’s releasing the pressure.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

If we are working ourselves to death for terrible pay that doesn't pay our bills, then the economy is not "strong" - it's oppressive. If the streets are filled with unhoused people, the economy is not strong - it's violent.

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.
