The only plausible reason for the Supreme Court to rush out its order at 1 a.m. is that a majority of justices refused to trust the Trump administration's promise that it wouldn't secretly deport migrants without due process. That alone marks a hugely consequential shift. slate.com/news-and-pol...

🚨UPDATE: New evidence filed by the ACLU last night shows that the Trump administration is going forward with more Alien Enemies Act deportations in seeming violation of the Supreme Court's clear command that people be provided a "meaningful" opportunity to seek judicial review.

This is a good thread in general but please absorb this takeaway. The injustices are getting worse. They are also getting more glaring, and the American people are noticing. Keeping talking and keep yelling at electeds.

This is what judges should be doing right now. If the Trump administration is going to insist that it can’t bring back anyone once they’re removed, then federal judges should put the brakes on any and all removals until the full legal process—to ensure the removals are valid—has run its course.

PART 1/2– 🚨 A sitting U.S. president caught on a hot mic suggesting we deport American citizens—calling them “home-growns”—to El Salvador. Meanwhile, Bukele refuses to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, despite a Supreme Court order. Trump stays silent.

Hearing case after case of ICE detentions and visa revocations and deportations, I just can’t get out of my head the George Carlin quote, “The only right they had was ‘right this way.’” The whole bit is funny and infuriatingly relevant, but particularly from ~2:30 on… he’s speaking to this moment.

THIS. (Sarah’s nested threads are worth reading.) From the other perspective, I’ll add “black bloc” neither necessarily involves violence nor destruction of property. It’s a form of protesting with anonymity and other forms of self-protection from STATE violence (gas masks, etc.). Worth considering.

The question isn’t whether a federal court can order the Salvadoran government to release Garcia; it can’t. It’s whether the U.S. government has the ability to secure Garcia’s release. If so, then it can be ordered to do so, because then Garcia is in the “constructive” custody of the United States.

Gonna keep saying this: In the 1840s, Southerners insisted that they could kidnap any person they alleged was a slave without any state or federal process. This turned even minimal process into resistance and raised the salience of the issue, which radicalized a bunch of people against slavery.

Can't think of a better night: Cory Booker ending Strom Thurmond's record and inspiring our movement. Democrats over-performing by 22 points in #FL01 and 16 points in #FL06. Susan Crawford winning Wisconsin handily. Elon Musk learning that he is NOT all-powerful. Celebrate the wins, folks!
