It’s Impeachment Day! He has to go!! He is letting innocent people suffer purely for his own sick ego. He enjoys having people beg for mercy! He wants everyone to suffer. He wants everyone to bend the knee! No kings in America! Impeach this evil scumbag! NOW!!

At this point, Judge Xinis should order the immediate return under threat of contempt and let the Supreme Court tell the Administration otherwise.

I’m sad for our nation and our world, this is what was elected to be the steward of our future and environment…

Yes, we're in constitutional crisis. Right now.

Pro-life until birth...The Hypocrisy!🤔

My prayers have been with Governor Shapiro and his family. What happened is unacceptable. This kind of violence has no place in our country.

Sending an all-female crew into outer space for a few minutes, at the cost of millions — while women down here on earth are dying without reproductive care… is a choice.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy should get the Nobel Peace Prize. Can you just imagine the temperament he has had to show to stay on focus and stable for the world to see. Who wouldn't want him as a leader, regardless of whatever happens.

I doubt that anyone from America who goes into CECOT will ever come out. And this is by design. If indefinite imprisonment with no prospect of release imposed by fiat without due process isn’t the definition of a gulag, then I don’t know what is.

What remains when courts no longer carry weight, when moral appeals drown in the applause of power, when a man vanishes in the name of political expediency? Then the rule of law dies, not with a bang, but with a handshake. Say his name…Kilmar Abrego Garcia

Trump wants to spend $45B to expand ICE detention — and let the private prison companies who bankrolled his campaign run at least a half dozen new detention centers. This won't make us safer, but it will make the border-industrial complex even richer.

We’re nearing the point, if we’re not already there, at which congressional dems need to provide an impeachment ultimatum. Something like: republicans help get Trump’s illegitimate administration out of office, or we’ll make a new one on our own.

The moment the orange convicted felon was sent back to our White House instead of to prison for his crimes is the moment democracy died in America. Both Hillary Clinton and VP Kamala Harris warned everyone that he would be a lawless tyrant and that has come true.

I haven't posted all day...because I was working on this. I just finished: The Dangerous Road to Autocracy-We Have Arrived: When Lawlessness Becomes Policy (No Paywall) www.jackhopkinsnow.com

“If we normalize this, there’s no end.” This is what @schumer.senate.gov said he was waiting for. Defying court orders. We are there. Now what?

We’re sending the guy with 0 felony convictions to a horrible prison in El Salvador and keeping the guy with 34 to run the country? Insane.

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.

Any other leader of a foreign country who would have sat in the WH with the president and refused to return a man who was wrongly deported would have been tossed out on his ass...but only after he was humiliated on national television. It's 2025: this president is helping keep him there.

Agree!

So much winning…

I will not roll over to these monsters.

It's happened. Any talk of "becoming an autocracy" ignores what is happening right in front of our eyes: Only the present tense is appropriate now.

It Seems So Obvious That This Should Be Done….

Interesting isn't it that people like Cody Balmer, who sets fire to the governor's mansion in Pennsylvania gets their legitimate due process under the law but Albergo Garcia, who committed no crime gets none. This is America now.

Law professor here: Things are F-U-C-K-E-D up.

Senator Cory Booker: "The truth is that right now, our nation is in crisis. The President has inflicted harm after harm on Americans’ safety, financial stability, the foundations of our democracy, and any sense of common decency." He's spot on. This administration is a nightmare.

Turns out autocracy is bad for business

There will be no restoration of a constitutional republic until he is not only removed from power but repudiated as having never legitimately held it. The system simply can't fit back together again without that. You can't shatter the foundation to this degree and then try to rebuild on top of it.

For the mathematically handicapped

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

By the time major media agree that it's a dictatorship, it will be so far along that they'll be afraid to call it a dictatorship.

These are not press conferences; they are staged shows with Trump's henchmen.

Can’t say more strongly: they are claiming the power to disappear people with no recourse, to entirely remove anyone they want to, forever, with no ability to stop them. “Unamerican” doesn’t do it justice. Diametrically opposed to anything even remotely resembling a society we should support.

If Stephen Miller had been in Germany in the 1930s, Adolf Eichmann would've been insecure about losing his job to him.
