State-sponsored kidnapping The Trump admin took people by force, based on flimsy accusations & sent them not to their home country but to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador—in defiance of a court order. Holding people against their will through deception and threat is by definition—kidnapping.

Due process “is how any of us can have confidence that the folks being packed onto airplanes and whisked off to El Salvador are members of TdA—as opposed to US citizens; political dissidents; or others whom the Trump administration would just as soon be rid of.” www.stevevladeck.com/p/bonus-133-...

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I think Marco Rubio needs to be sent back to school because when you say that someone doesn’t have a right to have a country, that’s an act of war. When you arbitrarily rip up trade agreements, threaten a country, say you’re going to break it, that’s an act of war.

Putin & Trump have choreographed a scam where Trump will announce tomorrow that he persuaded Putin to allow a Ukrainian army surrounded to return home, and will use that to try to legitimize Putin’s demands so they can blame Ukraine when they don’t accept them. It is all a lie.

NEW: Photo released showing the treatment of 100s of people deported by Trump to El Salvador, in defiance of a federal judge ruling. Remember, none of these individuals had any due process. They had no opportunity to contest any evidence, if is existed. A grievous human rights violation. 1/2

I’m totally fine with deporting gang members who commit crimes who don’t have legal status. I just don’t want Tom Homan or an ICE agent grabbing anyone off the street and flying them to a prison in El Salvador while claiming they are all of those things with zero due process.

🧵 This is a perfect example of what I've be describing as disordered discourse, and it's threat to democracy. Politicians are afraid to speak openly about key issues. Why? Because disordered discourse has captured the system itself—forcing obedience, punishing dissent, and making truth irrelevant.

Not only is this the second explosion in a row for Musk, but this launch wasn't even supposed to happen—as the investigation into the _last_ one isn't done yet. The only reason this launch went forward is Trump's FAA cleared it prematurely as a favor to Musk. Now FL travelers are paying the price.

They export most of their products to Canada; they get a lot of supplies—their fertilizer all comes in from Canada—this is going to crush the livelihoods of people who supported them.
