Opinion When 6,000 Immigrants Can Be Declared Dead, No One’s Benefits Are Safe It would be short-sighted to view this as an immigration issue. In fact, this move reveals both our common vulnerability to the whims of high-up decision-makers, and our shared humanity. Annie Abbott Apr 17, 2025

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

Please watch and share. It can be easy to get a little lost in the details, but the ENTIRE THING they're doing is absolutely built on a foundation of lies and flagrantly illegal.

I have a friend that guarded Saddam Hussein after his capture. He said he was quite nice and friendly. Reminds me of Bill Mahers meeting with Trump. Being nice doesn’t mean you aren’t a bad bad man

The President of the United States is utterly out of control and possibly out of his mind, and only the Supreme Court of the United States can deliver the absolutely vicious permanent slapdown this moment requires. If that does not happen, the options for Americans appear to dwindle precipitously.

As she lay there taking her last breaths I made her a promise. To end the suffering for dogs like her. We've sterilized 60,000 dogs since then, building a hospital in her name and now this. A pre-oder here helps so much lnk.to/TinaTheDogWh... (every penny I make goes to helping the dogs)

im sorry to be so divisive and partisan but i dont think the government should be inventing a criminal history out of thin air to justify sending someone to a concentration camp in a foreign country

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.

Cutting down the last standing giants is not only bad for #biodiversity, #climate and people, it is also economically incoherent. Protecting old-growth #forests in the BC interior could generate more than $43 billion over the next century — far more than #logging the land 🌎

How long before the Supreme Court finds that criminal contempt is an "official act" of the presidency and, therefore, shielded from legal reprisals?

The argument in the text is they can’t accomplish their policy goal while following due process (and therefore the standards should flex). That’s a general purpose argument for fascism, not one specific to immigration.

Senator Chris Van Hollen says that he hasn’t been able to meet with Kilmar Abrego Garcia nor has he been able to have a phone call with him. He doesn’t know his health status. Unacceptable. El Salvador needs to show proof of life!!!!!

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

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.”

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.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Our country is on the line right now. Time to go to El Salvador to see if Abrego Garcia is still alive! Don’t let anyone downplay this situation because it’s a BIG deal!

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?
