Bring back everyone who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. No one should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

PA Governor Josh Shapiro's home was attacked by arsonist on the 1st night of Passover. Did you know there were over 10,000 reported incidents of antisemitism in the US last year? Even words have consequences. They create an environment where this can happen. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

Arson at the home of the Jewish governor of Pennsylvania on the first night of Passover. Seems like the Trump administration might be looking for anti-Semitism in all the wrong places.

Every day they wake up in El Salvador is another day that a crime is being committed. They were kidnapped. Provided no due process. Whisked to a foreign prison. Abandoned. And I can only imagine the horrors they are suffering. Every. Single. Day. #BringThemAllHome #InnocentUntilPROVENGuilty

Seems like the news that someone tried to burn down the home of a Jewish governor on Passover with his sleeping family inside has been metabolized a bit too easily, no? Am I crazy?

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens. The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

I’m angry about many, many, aspects of Trumpism. And it’s not the top of my list, but I hate the amount of media (and mental) space occupied by absolute cranks, racists, and fools who have been promot because of their venality stupidity. If this is “meritocracy,” it is a meritocray of monsters.

Mirroring Russia's 2022 invasion strategy of Ukraine, the US Trump regime will deploy troops along the Panama Canal for what it claims is "training, exercises and "other activities"" after months of threatening invasion. Panamanians say the US of launching a “camouflaged invasion”. #panamainvasion

Is there any link between the Trump admin’s “deal” with El Salvador and Bukele’s plan for a “Bitcoin City,” which was going to be scaled back in order to receive loans from the IMF — and Trump admin’s plans to use gold reserves to buy Bitcoin? Or all just coincidence theweek.com/business/eco...

One President wildly exceeded his authority by forgiving some student loans; a different President barely scratched the surface of his authority by disappearing anyone he pleases without trial to a foreign gulag. Constitutional law is a serious intellectual enterprise.

When Rubio announced the agreement with El Salvador in February he touted it as a way to outsourcing the federal prison system by allowing the US to send American citizen inmates there to serve their . This undercuts the Trump administration’s claim to the courts that it can’t get people back.
