1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

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.

"This is that constitutional crisis of the flouting of court orders, both the district court order and the Supreme Court order." We're on the brink of autocratic breakthrough. Running out of offramps. We need a few House Rs and 20 in Senate @weissmann11.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cXv...

A commenter told me not to refer to CECOT as "America's Auschwitz" bc it "minimizes the atrocity of that death camp" to do so. They clearly don't know what CECOT is. Auschwitz didn't start out as a death camp. It started out like CECOT. I chose the comparison bc they follow the same trajectory.

We asked @democrats.org to be brave and take bigger actions. @booker.senate.gov listened. We need more. @housedemocrats.bsky.social take a delegation to El Salvador, hold press conferences, demand Abrego Garcia be returned. Demand all the men denied due process be returned. Make a spectacle of it.

Happy Confederates Surrender Day. Enslavers lost. Don't forget that the fight for liberty in the US is always ongoing, and those who wish to profit off the domination and exploitation of Americans will face their day of surrender if we make them. The power lies with us. It's our liberty. Ours.

Republicans in Congress could stop this right now if they wanted to. Conclusion: they don't want to stop it.

Thank God it's Sunday. Trump will be in church all day, raptly listening to the word of Jesus and praying since he's a big pious Christian, and won't be out fucking up America.

I am optimistic because I am not alone. I hope today demonstrates that truth to every American. We are not alone. The People have the power.
