Exiling people beyond the protection of US law without due process is not only unconstitutional, it's a rejection of the entire American revolutionary project. Sending people "beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences" is one of the grievances enumerated in the Declaration of Independence.

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

"We have to bring the Israeli hostages home, but the Americans who got black-bagged can go rot for all I care" is a prominent US political position

WSJ: The exemptions undermine the Administration’s legal justification that his tariffs are needed to meet a national “emergency.” Imports of glassware and umbrellas from China are an emergency but imports of electronics aren’t? www.wsj.com/opinion/on-t...

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

Tr*mp: "The peace talks are promising." Putin: "My latest missile attack killed 21 people, including 7 children, on Palm Sunday."

STAND and DEMAND the immediate return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. BRING HIM HOME! Abrego Garcia is a SMART Local 100 first-year apprentice who was working full-time to support his young family — before he was brutally abducted and illegally deported to El Salvador. SMART General President…

📣 @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social ! Thank you for having the bravery to call a lame horse out . The decision of when to "call out" a lame horse depends on the severity . The severity is real for our country. We need more people like you, to stand up and make the call out.

Food for thought…

Labour MPs pressure foreign office to recognise Palestinian statehood

It is PAST time for some people in the DOJ to be in jail over this. They are continuing to stonewall and the supreme court has already put all their excuses to bed. www.npr.org/2025/04/11/n...

The passive voice is the weakest of all the voices. There’s no one performing the action, so no one to blame but the victim.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia needs to come home. The Supreme Court agrees. Why aren't they complying? 1. They don't want him to come back because that means others can too. 2. They don't want him to bear witness to the regime's crimes against humanity. 3. He's dead and they know. (Hope I'm wrong)

" It may even be desirable to restore America’s standing with creditors and trade partners."

Make Habeas Corpus Real: You Have Garcia’s Body, President Bukele. Now Bring Him Home, Hopefully Alive and Well.

Witkoff touching his heart the moment he sees Putin to show admiration and respect is also nauseating. The representative of the most powerful country in the world fawning over a tyrant of an almost broken imperialist nation. That would have tipped the balance of power towards Putin in that meeting.

One man in CECOT "doesn’t even know that his child’s been born," his lawyer said. Another has muscular dystrophy affecting his right arm, per a court filing. The facts fit "every definition of an enforced disappearance under international law," an attorney told me. www.huffpost.com/entry/cecot-...

Just a reminder.......

Why on god’s name are we still providing arms to Israel? Shame on you Starmer and the UK Labour government. As for Trump and the USA…. No words! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

This era of mass grift—driven by one of the most corrupt administrations in American history—isn’t just a crisis. It’s a massive opportunity for the Democratic Party to lead an unapologetic, system-wide anti-corruption campaign.

absolutely insane, a betrayal of the most basic principles of freedom of speech for which the American republic is supposed to stand
