One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Could somebody kind & with bandwidth explain what this mean to me like I'm 5? What's conservative got to do with it? What is civic virtue in this context? Is he saying the people suck and therefore deserve fascism and that makes him a conservative? Honestly, lots of words but - what do they mean?

Lots of other people have said this before me but more or less the entire Dem consulting class thinks of reality as entirely discursive so if we lose the constitution that’s actually good because we’ll win the imaginary midterms

About 1 in every 60 people in El Salvador is incarcerated. That is more than twice the runner up (Cuba, which is around the same ballpark of estimates for North Korea) and more than three times the notoriously high rate in the United States. It is about on par with the gulag population under Stalin.

Disappointed with Claire O'Neil getting defensive about how politicians are not trusted and rather than engaging with the question, being very disappointed people don't understand how hard the pollies work and how commodities they all are. Cry me a river. #QandA

Can Judge Xinis refer the matter back to SCOTUS herself for them to tell the govt to follow their ruling? (Would it actually help?) Does she have to make a contempt finding first? Or does she need to make an order that one of the parties appeals to SCOTUS? What's next from here? What's fastest?

If El Salvador is an ICC member, is the ICC investigating El Salvador/Bukele for throwing young Salvadoran men into CECOT without charges or trial? That must surely be an international crime??
