With all the videos of police illegally entering people’s home using intimidation & force to detain & deport American if not worse. Black peoples have dealt with that for centuries. It’s police brutality. That is beyond unconstitutional. That is why Colin Kaepernick knelt.… Now do you f’n get it?

When you think of what the US state has at its disposal, totalitarianism does not look impossible: - Facial recognition technology - Armed drones, that can take out marked people - A propaganda system already enmeshed in our lives (social media) - Militias ready to become death squads Resist now.

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

Today is Jackie Robinson Day in MLB, but what likely won’t be mentioned is how the Dodgers and MLB didn’t stand up for Robinson when the Trump administration tried to blatantly erase his history youtu.be/GGjn8ERT_Ew?...

Jackie Robinson, college student, officer, athlete was the first Black Player in @mlb.com because up until that moment Black Players were absolutely not allowed to play ball. Because of Racism. Jim Crow. Segregation. It must be said. Baseball should speak the truth. Jackie is a hero.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

During the first Trump administration they lost it when @aoc.bsky.social said they were running concentration camps at the border, and there were days of debate over terminology. Now, they are advertising their concentrations camps on Fox as central to their policy.

So essentially the president can do anything he wants, regardless of whether or not that’s his constitutional power, say no when told otherwise, and there’s really no mechanisms in this country to stop him? The branches of government and checks and balances were all just suggestions?

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.
