Why not deport these homegrown Nazis?

I'm just a poor country political historian and not some big city media fella, but it *does* seem like a slightly big deal that the leader of the United States presented comically faked "evidence" in the Oval Office to justify his power to disappear ordinary people into a Central American prison?

It’s actually Sir William Blackstone but yes, that’s the premise of due process

All this because they didn’t have a hotel pre-booked when they arrived. Insane.

We the people are PISSED!📍NYC / April 19 Join the People’s Movement at www.FiftyFifty.one. #PeoplesMovement #FiftyFiftyOne #50501Movement #April19 #NYC @polrev.bsky.social @meidastouch.com

Cohen: Take MeidasTouch Network. They’re beating Joe Rogan, they’re beating Fox, they’re beating the lame stream news. So when there’s a march, all you have to do is contact the Meiselas brothers — next thing you know, you’ve got ten million people showing up. That’s an army.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

BREAKING: Senator Chris Van Hollen is taking action on the imprisonment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and is currently on the ground in El Salvador to demand his release.

The problem is sociopathic corporate greed. 🧐

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

Trump is ordering a nearly $100 million military parade for his birthday. My latest for @votevets.org on his wildly stupid idea. Be sure to hit that subscribe button! youtu.be/0-E5eI_2G3I?...

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING #handsoff

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

This!

According to @chenoweth.bsky.social’s work, regimes change or collapse when 3.5% of the population takes to the streets. Yesterday was just shy of 1%. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

We put together the best of the TV coverage of today’s #HandsOff protests against Trump, Musk and the destruction of democracy. youtu.be/TV8TdaDSzsQ

This is what a movement actually looks like, MAGA.

Today. Find the location nearest you and join everyone.

A man’s gotta have a code. Trump’s code is that the Saudis are paying him millions to host the golf tournament, so that’s where he is.

If you were a halfway decent human being and you knew an innocent man was rotting in foreign prison—likely suffering nightmarish conditions—because your administration screwed up and send him there, you’d do something about it immediately instead of shitposting lies all day.

Right-wing YouTuber Tim Pool has made it to the White House pool — someone from his “Timcast” channel will be part of today’s pool duty covering the president. Last year, DOJ revealed Pool was receiving millions of dollars from the Russian gov. Pool says he didn’t know where it was coming from.

"Like the idea that people now are fleeing communism, and then we are treating them as if we are the communist autocrats, where you get no due process, you have no rights, and we just send you into a fucking gulag in another country. It is just absolutely enraging." - @timmiller.bsky.social

So, our allies hate us and are telling their citizens not to visit America because they don't want them, you know, deported or sent to detention centers. This in turn will hurt our economy and threaten US tourists and sites abroad. Are you great again?

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Thursday the State Department has revoked 300 or more student visas, as the White House increasingly targets foreign-born students whose main transgression seems to be activism, in a drive to ethnically cleanse free speech. youtu.be/K_S3KljF0w4

The incompetence of this administration is staggering.

The fact that the Department of Justice has not, and will never, launch an investigation into this massive national security breach tells you all you need to know about this lawless and profoundly corrupt Administration.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Pete couldn't be more right ##USDemocracy

The entire conversation is a disaster. It was an illegal use of a disappearing messaging app which none of them objected to. Hegseth appears to have copied and pasted the targeting packages into the chat, and Witkoff was literally in Moscow when he joined the chat. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

The Trump administration halted funding for a national database that tracked domestic terrorism, hate crimes, and school shootings, as part of broad cuts to violence prevention programs. The move eliminated a critical resource designed to enhance public safety amid persistent and pressing threats.

Any member of the military who did what they did on signal would be kicked out or arrested.

BREAKING: Trump signs an executive order attempting to make changes to U.S. election procedures and threatens funding cuts to states that do not comply. The order is likely to be swiftly challenged in court by voting rights groups.

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing… There would be bipartisan calls for investigations Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

“It’s so unbelievable,” a former White House official, granted anonymity to discuss The Atlantic’s report candidly, said Monday. “These guys all have traveling security details to set up secure comms for them, wherever they are.” www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Collins: Do you think someone should be fired over this? Buttigieg: Absolutely… if there’s not accountability for a screw up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here..

BREAKING: 34,000 people have showed up in Denver, Colorado this evening to see Bernie Sanders and AOC fight oligarchy and authoritarianism.

NEW: President Trump has outlined his extreme vision for U.S. elections since his inauguration. In recent weeks, his administration has taken steps to enact his ideas and dangerously weaken our election systems.

Donald Trump has reportedly spent $18 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration. This is happening as he slashes the federal workforce, guts funding for vital programs, and tees up major cuts to Medicaid to pay for more tax cuts for the rich. Hello?
