The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Not only should we stop referring to CECOT as a “prison,” but we should stop referring to this as deportation. That also implies process and a legal system led to it. This is legally sanctioned human trafficking. El Salvador is profiting off our government’s trafficking of humans to it.

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

This administration sent 200+ fathers, sons, and husbands to be tortured in a foreign prison for the rest of their lives. 9 in 10 have no criminal record. None received any due process. If you aren’t outraged, you need to check your fucking humanity.

“Disruption” is supposed to be the idea that bad things sometimes lead to positive results. True! Then the tech bro cult turned disruption into a positive all on its own. Kinda like how capitalism turned greed into something that could be leveraged, then capitalists decided greed was purely good.

@60minutes.bsky.social finds no evidence of criminal records in US or any other country for 75% of Venezuelans kidnapped and rendered to El Salvador. Of the rest, 22% had non-violent arrests for things like traffic violations.
