If immigrants don’t have due process rights, then nobody has due process rights. Exploring a hypothetical: Let’s say ICE wants to deport a man named John Smith and you happen to live next door and also be named John Smith. ICE mistakenly detains you. You would never have an opportunity to show

Posting tonight ti shine a light on what the Alien Enemies Act looks like IRL. Our @immdef.bsky.social client fled Venezuela last year & came to US to seek asylum. He has a strong claim. He was detained upon entry because ICE alleged his tattoos are gang related. They are absolutely not. 🧵

And I don’t fucking buy here excuses of “well, that’s not what he said during the campaign” and “these are low-information voters who are worried about kitchen table issues”. Americans’ apathy towards these people is disgusting. You are choosing to be ignorant because you can’t accept reality

Who had hope for an America that believed in freedom and we threw him away like that. How many more of these 200 people are like this? If your response to Trumps immigration is policy, then this is what you’re endorsing.

Those places are fucking black holes where they throw people away and lose the key. These places are like the early days of the Assad prisons. Think of the most dark horrible prison in any movie and that’s what this place is. We threw an innocent man coming to America to escape an evil dictatorship

A Venezuelan artist escaped to this country fearing for his life because he believed that Maria stood for freedom and human rights. Without a trial or any due process, our government has shipped him to an Salvadorean prison where violent gangs members are starved, beaten and tortured.

If you’re a normal everyday person sitting in a focus group or answering a survey and your response when being asked about Trump’s immigration policy is that you’re glad he’s deporting criminals or bad immigrants who didn’t come here the “right way”. You need to wake the fuck up

They don’t like Kendrick, They don’t like Taylor Swift, they don’t like Beyoncé. Yeah let’s listen to a bunch of old farts play songs that haven’t been popular in 30 years

Kendrick is literally one of the most relevant, popular and talented artists of today. Why would they not have him do the Super Bowl?

To all the people complaining about Kendrick’s halftime show. Get a fucking life. Just because you’re old and think 80s show tunes are hip and groovy doesn’t mean I want to listen to that shit

They are gambling that the attempt to destroy democracy and install a dictator won’t last and they will be the last one standing to claim power.

Just like the courts, they know that appeasement is a path to power as his ally. But in order to appease him, they have to hand him the power of their institutions. They are quickly losing their usefulness. Eventually they will only exist as meaningless figureheads or Trump will cast them aside.

By trying to appease Trump by giving him favorable rulings, they have also handed over their power to him. A similar thing is happening to Congress in their complete refusal to do any kind of review of his appointments or to insist that Congress controls the budget.

By undercutting the rule of law, they actually destroy the relevance of their own institutions and undercut their own power.

The courts decision to grant Trump de facto criminal immunity, immunity that they definitely would not have given a Democratic president, actually undercuts their own power. Judge Canon’s corrupt and self-interested legal rulings do something similar.

I feel like the Congress and the Courts are falling into something that probably has historical precedence. They know that their only path to power within the party is to give Trump exactly what he wants. But what Trump is asking of them is to abdicate their power and hand it over to him as king.

If you’re a spoiled 30 something who’s never worked a day in your life and was born with a trust fund then great news! Republicans are looking to cut the estate tax to zero so you get all that free money!

Then he’s responding to political backlash. This whole thing is a clusterfuck. And somehow this make the government more efficient!!? How!? All I see is a bunch of meddling idiots messing up systems they don’t understand while Medicaid patients and cancer researchers get screwed

This is not some coordinate effort for government efficiency. It’s not run by smart people who are trying to make the government work better. It’s a bunch of ideological dweebs who have never actual accomplished any public service pushing an agenda that Trump doesn’t understand or care about.

In the last week Trump issued an EO to freeze the government, then sent out a memo to clarify the freeze, then rescinded the order, then stated on twitter that it was still in place somehow. WTF is going on?! They don’t know what the hell they’re doing.

Give herself a brand. This seems incredibly short sighted, probably not going to work and sells out her own parties political position for small personal gains. Ughhh

The only explanation I can think of is that she is trying to carve out a place for herself in the Democratic primary of 2028. 2020 was a crowded field and her biggest problem was standing out. Being the Democrat who worked with the other side and was “pragmatic” will make her stand out and

It makes you sound slime a hypocrite and a liar and that all those claims that Tump is a threat to democracy, that’s just politics as usual. Meanwhile, he pardons hundreds of violent criminals who assaulted and even killed police who saved your life, signs an EO to rewrite the constitution. What!?

Their only reaction will be to not notice or to be delighted in your humiliation. Democrats can’t spend the last four years telling voters that Donald Trump is an authoritarian, a rapist and a criminal but I really enjoyed our little road trip. What!?

What idiot consultant told Amy Klobuchar to go on MSNBC and tell everyone how great of a car ride she had with Donal Trump? This makes no sense. The voters Democrats need to win back either hate you or are paying attention to you. And this doesn’t solve either of those issues.

Do they really think that if they just bend the knee and stop fighting they’ll win over voters? What are we doing!? The way to defeat people you oppose is to fight against them.

Why do Democrats think that putting on this show of working with the other side and finding common ground will do anything for them politically? Republicans spent Biden’s entire term calling him an illegitimate president and doing everything in they could to paint the administration as corrupt.

Now it’s happening to our entire society and an organization like the ADL defending obvious antisemitism is a clear example.

Opportunity. Then, you have completely forgotten what you cared about in the first place. Your entire value set will be gone and you’ll just be stuck defending whatever BS comes out his can with no actual theory of what you are fighting for. This is what’s happened to the entire Republican party

It’s the same thing Republicans and every other spineless twerp in Washington has done for years. Forget your principles, values and morality to buy political favor with Trump. But they forget what everyone does which is that Trump never cared about you, has no loyalty and will burn you at the first

Also, just a thought. The ADL are not idiots. They see what the rest of us see and know it’s disgusting. They see this as a valuable moment to buy Trumps favor by forsaking their values and selling out their principles because they hope he will pay them back.

When one of Trumps closest allies gives an official speech on his Inauguration day, and clearly does a Sieg Hail salute. The ADL comes to his defense. Extremism and Antisemitism on the right is embraced under fear of retribution and remains fringe on the left.

When antisemitic was voiced on college campuses, Democrats had to distance themselves from those protests and amend any statement about them with a rejection of antisemitism. And even then, they came under pressure from the ADL for not being sufficiently Pro Israel.

The Elon salute and the immediate attempts to justify and explain away this behavior just clearly demonstrates the difference between anti-semitism and extremism on the left and right.

For people who are about to credit all their prosperity to these fake populists. It’s like handing thousands of dollars to people and asking them to come to your side on issues like abortion and healthcare. If Trump doesn’t screw everything up, blue collar America is about to have an awesome four

One of the most frustrating things about this election is that Biden’s historic investments in blue collar infrastructure and jobs paid zero political dividends. As a voter in California, I’m paying massive federal taxes (especially after cutting the state income tax deduction) to fund investments

I don’t understand the the Democrats strategy of picking and choosing nominees to fight against in the administration. What political benefit is there to allowing some of these crazy people through to focus on the insane ones?
