Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

The American President pardons guilty insurrectionists but allows innocent men to rot in foreign prisons.

Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

I'm begging media outlets to stop using Bukele's self-imposed moniker, "world's coolest dictator." Even in quotes, it's gross.

This is a very good point that I haven't seen made yet. It's not just Trump that is undermining trust in the US. It is also the inability of US institutions to stop him. And even if you make that "inability to stop him so far," it's already too far to maintain trust.

china is brutal af making these

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"
