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.

Legal permanent resident of the U.S., showing up to apply for citizenship, with no allegations of criminal activity, is arrested and detained by masked police. This is fascism, and that is not a word I use lightly. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/n...

This is the first year that Francisco has harvested mandarin oranges. He's working near Sanger CA and shares: The work is dangerous. I've seen other workers get injured so I'm very careful. The pay is low but I do it as my family depends on me. #WeFeedYou

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing. "That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done." "That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."

What Judge Xinis is banking on is that the government does not want to spend two weeks in discovery. Two big things can happen: (1) They just make the call and get him back (2) They spend two weeks creating a public record of their own fuck ups and then get sanctioned

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.

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.

Trump’s negative policies & poor treatment of Allie’s & foreigners is deterring foreign travel to the U.S., resulting in the loss of billions of dollars in revenue from visitor & tourist spending. This will all contribute to a self fulfilling prophecy of economic contraction and recession.

Time to start impeachment proceedings. If the Supreme Court doesn’t matter, we do not have a working democracy. If we cozy up to an El Salvadoran thug, what are we?

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Wouldn't it be nice if every news outlet that covered the Bukele Oval Office meeting noted: District court wrote: Abrego Garcia "has never been charged with or convicted of any crime."⤵️ Fourth Circuit: The government presented "NO EVIDENCE" of MS-13 affiliation. Abandoned argument before court. ⤵️
