Bring him home with you!!! Just take him by the hand, and lead him away. fly him home so he can have his day in court, just like the US Constitution demands.

In this video game, you begin with a barren wasteland and use advanced eco-tech—such as wind turbines, soil purifiers, and irrigators—to transform it into a thriving, diverse ecosystem.

y’all can demean her all you want, but I don’t think being primaried or re-elected is what she is fearful of. I think they are all in fear for their safety, their lives, and that of their families. Good for her for speaking up.

We used up our five alarms in the first week of this coup, and I fear we're being desensitized to the absolute destruction looming over and toward us.

OPEN THE DOORS OF CECOT AND LET #AbregoGarcia, AN INNOCENT MAN, WALK OUT AND ONTO A US PLANE HOME. IMMEDIATELY. Watch: x.com/edkrassen/st...

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

NOTE: There are more people *in this frame of television* than there are transgender athletes in the State of Maine *All* of this is theater for stupid people

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted and is being held in a notorious prison in El Salvador — barred from contacting his family or lawyers. I’m speaking to the press now after we were denied access to the prison to check on his condition. Tune in:

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

September 2024

Reports out of Tallahassee are that they are moving FSU students to the Civic Center after the school shooting at Florida State University. At least 6 people are injured and the suspect is in custody. I'm so tired of these.

Why is it that they agree to hear every single “emergency petition” for permission to violate the United States Constitution. Will they ever just tell him to POUND SAND? www.cbsnews.com/news/birthri...

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

NEW: “An independent federal agency is going forward with President Donald Trump’s sweeping elections executive order despite a barrage of lawsuits challenging it as an assault on states’ constitutional authority to run their own elections.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Today is an excellent day to CALL YOUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES!! (202) 225-3121

Rep. Yassamin Ansari: "What else did Trump say during that press conference? He was heard saying 'next we want to take on the home-growns.' He's talking about US citizens. So he has no regard for the rule of law & if we don't stand up to this administration now, they will only be emboldened"

Odd that nobody is proving that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is still alive. Did the Trump administration pay to have an unconvicted man assassinated by a foreign authoritarian dictator in a subcontracted concentration camp? We need answers NOW

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.

JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

If the judge is looking for an attorney to prosecute the Trump administration for contempt of court... 🙋‍♂️

Fun fact: the International Criminal Court at The Hague does NOT recognize any immunity based on official title or diplomatic status.

Harvard should respond: "OK, Donald, we promise to pay as much taxes as you did in both 2016 and 2017--exactly $750. In fact, we can cut you that check today."

All of these men are being illegally detained in a foreign gulag. They weren't deported. They were illegally imprisoned. This is the face of fascism. Look at it.

Kidnapping people off the street, flying them to a foreign country and paying to have them locked up in a brutal prison is not just outrageous. It's criminal. Criminal on many levels. Criminal in ways from which it cannot possibly be argued the president has immunity for his behavior.

For a government to detain someone and block all contact is an abuse of human rights. If El Salvador is refusing access to Kilmer Abrego Garcia, it’s time to ask if he is still even alive. Proof of life is needed — now.

Pam Bondi is a liar, propagandist and criminal accomplice. Kilmar Abrego Garcia never received a court hearing and due process. Pam Bondi is an eternal stain on the Justice Department and justice itself.

Reupping this piece I wrote a couple of weeks ago about what happens when a judge makes a contempt finding & refers it to fed’l prosecutors, but they decline to prosecute the case. joycevance.substack.com/p/contempt-b11

Get ready for a Trump rage post about Powell. Or worse. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

This was 100% predictable (and predicted). The big firms that capitulated will cave and do whatever Trump wants. He owns them and will humiliate them for the next 3+ years. If you are a lawyer at one of these firms, leave now with your dignity. If you are a law student -- is this what you want?

The President doesn’t get to decide which news outlets should be funded based on who he likes the most.

Goldman on Trump threatening to deport Americans to a gulag in El Salvador: "This is the stuff of dictators ... Republicans in Congress have completely acceded to his wishes and turned over all of their own authority to Donald Trump. There is no check and no balance from Congress."

It says a lot about the state of the Democratic Party's leadership that I actually feel relieved and hopeful that Senator Van Hollen is demonstrating what should be a baseline expected level of leadership in traveling to El Salvador to demand the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

Steve Kerr: "I believe in academic freedom. I think it's crucial for all of our institutions to be able to handle their own business the way they want to. And they should not be shaken down and told what to teach, what to say, by our government. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."

Dear DC Bar lawyers! Please remember to vote in the bar elections. Brad Bondi must be defeated, as well as Alicia Long. Vote AGAINST both of them!!

Dang! The Chinese on TikTok aren’t taking any days off. 🤣🤣🤣

NEW: Judge Xinis authorizes up to 15 interrogatories, 15 document requests, depositions from all govt declarants (Cerna, Katz, Kozak, and Mazzara) and up to two others to assess what the govt has done to "facilitate" Kilmar Abrego Garcia's release storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Just know that the utterly horrific or unconstitutional thing he's doing right now is just meant to distract you from the 15 other utterly horrific or unconstitutional things he is doing right now.
