"the state can just summarily imprison someone without filing charges or holding a trial" doesn't just overturn democracy it overturns 1000 years of common law, like throwing out the entire legal system entirely and saying all people in America are the state's property.

Basically: I don’t think people understand that 36 hours from now it’s possible that America will have a formalized system for abducting enemies of the regime and stashing them in foreign gulags, indefinitely. www.thebulwark.com/p/bukele-abr...

CA Border Patrol claimed it's attack on the Central Valley farm working community in Kern County was targeting criminals. Turns out that wasn’t true, they were just profiling farm workers. We must confront this injustice head on!

They continue to violate a court order to retrieve someone they illegally deported. We’re now well beyond a constitutional crisis. If they’re allowed to do this, their secret police can sweep up anyone, for any reason, deport them & refuse to bring them back. That would be the end of democracy.

Yo @liccardo.house.gov lace up your shoes, they’re defying SCOTUS orders.

So, they’re defying a Supreme Court order (while lying that they are following SCOTUS orders).

Brace yourself for public figures to be even smaller and more cowardly than you thought possible, and some neighbors and family, too. (Even if you thought they couldn't disappoint you any more than they have.) But we can't give ground. This is deliberate evil. They're testing how far they can go.

I would like to point out that the executive branch claiming the power to mete out life/death sentences seems like a separation of powers issue as well

If true, doesn’t this mean that the government was lying to Jusge Boasberg when it claimed there was no irrevocable harm to plaintiffs in sending them to El Salvador?

Old enough to remember when the right was insisting that the president was hindering aid in response to Helene and it was a (fake) scandal.

U.S. Judge Esther Salas lost her son to a pizza delivery individual who shot him to death when he opened the home door. The judge is reporting that pizzas are being delivered in the name of her son, threatening judges - using her son to weapons and intimidate them. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

So all the White House political reporters are spending the weekend getting up to speed on the Abrego Garcia case and litigation related to the gulag in El Salvador so that they can prep good questions for Bukele’s visit on Monday, right? Right????????

It is deeply shameful for Harvard’s president and board that a faculty union filed this suit, not Harvard. Harvard has enormous resources to hire lawyers; they have many lawyers on staff and hire top law firms. But Harvard’s board is cowards, and now collaborators.

Trump’s lying about California water—again. Dude still has no clue how it works. Truth is, he flushed billions of gallons & screwed farmers just to play hero for the cameras. Hope they don’t ask where their water went this summer—the clown they voted for dumped it. “When I say do it, they do it.”

In 2022 many of us— @chrislhayes.bsky.social and me for ex— said Musk wld turn Twitter into a disinformation machine with devastating consequences. (My 2022 post below.) Maybe the White House then should have listened and had a comprehensive media strategy. And Dems going forward should make one!
