It is essential for the rule of law that everyone involved in this end up in prison. Nothing else is a sufficient deterrent against the intentional, repeated abuse of government power to systematically deny fundamental rights.

So by paying our taxes, we pay for a Central American dictator who runs the 116th-richest nation in the world to build five more supermax concentration camps slated to be filled with our countrymen and wholly innocent legal permanent residents of the United States? Is that right?

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of NC Alliance for Retired Americans and VoteVets AF, my firm has filed an appeal to the Fourth Circuit to block the Republicans' efforts to steal a North Carolina state Supreme Court election. Follow Democracy Docket for full details. www.democracydocket.com/cases/north-...

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

ETTD (Vance, too!)

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference. The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

Donald Trump is deporting legal US residents to a foreign gulag, and he has stated publicly that he is moving on to citizens next. This is a Constitutional crisis. Will a single Republican stand up for our Constitution?

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.

This, from the Holocaust Memorial Museum.

No one should be above the law, most especially the President. Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional. They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

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

Americans have to ask themselves where is the Red Line? Where is the tipping point? Is it not the Executive openly defying an order from the Judiciary? FOTUS is refusing to return an unlawfully imprisoned man in defiance of a SCOTUS order. This is dangerous.

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

@euwatch.live DEAR FRANCE/EU, AMERICANS, WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR FRIEND AND HOLD YOU IN HIGH REGARDS, NO MATTER WHAT OUR SUPERIORS DO TO UNTIE THE BONDS WE HAVE HAD ALL THESE YEARS. IT IS SHAMEFUL TO SEE A PRESIDENT BE SO HURTFUL TO OUR ALLIES AND TRY TO RUIN THE GOOD RELATIONSHIPS WE HAVE HAD!

Emergency video: it’s time to start making plans. Either the house steps up to defend the constitution, or our generation does. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

If the government isn’t willing to return innocent people who were wrongly deported, all deportations should cease.

Wouldn't it be nice if every news outlet that covered the Bukele Oval Office meeting noted: District court wrote: Abrego Garcia "has never been charged with or convicted of any crime."⤵️ Fourth Circuit: The government presented "NO EVIDENCE" of MS-13 affiliation. Abandoned argument before court. ⤵️

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Senator Chris Van Hollen has requested an urgent meeting with President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador to address the situation involving Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was “mistakenly”deported from the United States to a prison in El Salvador.

I’ve just posted this video message to members of the DC Bar, urging them to vote *AGAINST* AG Pam Bondi’s brother to be its next president. Please pass this on to anyone who is eligible to vote. www.instagram.com/reel/DIcQFxt...

I am calling for a total and complete shutdown of detainees being removed from the United States to foreign prisons until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.

“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?

No American can afford to ignore the systematic erosion of what it means to be American. We are way past political and ideological disagreements. What’s at stake is our adherence to the Constitution and rule of law. What safeguards all of our rights. Without it, we cease to be America.

Did anyone notice that Buekele didn’t wear a tie? I thought that outraged people when Zelensky didn’t

"The security of the world is at stake." Well worth watching President Zelenskyy's interview on 60 Minutes www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine...

Important SCOTUS Reminder: Bush and his DOJ argued that habeas corpus did not apply to Guantanamo because it was outside US territory. The SC later ruled in Boumediene v. Bush that detainees at Guantanamo have a right to habeas corpus, even though the base is not US sovereign territory.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

27 years and still a shithole. The definition of stupidity.

A double tap by mistake, as one occasionally does

Precisely 😊

Good point!

If New York Dems pick Cuomo it does not bode well for staging a meaningful resistance on the left. Electing someone other than a serial abuser is the bare minimum

After the attack on Shapiro’s residence, I feel like it’s important to remind people how easy it is for people to become irrevocably radicalized online. Right wing media (both “new” and legacy) is using the same tactics we see groups like Al-Qaeda use to recruit.

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

El Salvador won’t return Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Meanwhile, Trump is not only refusing to bring him back—he is lying about the Supreme Court ruling compelling him to do so.

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