Jessica: Abrego Garcia's legal status was approved by the Trump administration in 2019, and every year since then, he has checked in with the departed of homeland security, and no one has said anything about him being a gang banger.

This is the same perverse Nazi logic that led Hans Asperger to distinguish between Autism and Asperger's Syndrome: those children who would be killed and those who would be used. Don't get bogged down in arguments about ability or humanity. These are overtures to genocide.

Lisa Murkowsky says “We are all afraid…. Retaliation is real.” If US senator is no longer free, we’re in a full blown crisis.

Hey, Justice Roberts, is this what you meant by "“facilitate and effectuate the return" of Mr. Abrego Garcia? Because I'm not a lawyer, but it sure as hell looks like contempt of court to me.

Conservative commentator David Brooks says it’s time for a mass uprising against Trump

“We have apparently pre-normalized a potentially nation-ending betrayal of everything American. A lawless, juvenile middle finger to the Constitution — on the 250-year anniversary of Paul Revere’s ride.” —Jim Stewartson

A thing of beauty. Drinking in every word www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Smart move in #AlienEnemiesAct litigation just dropped and makes sense given the public record. @aclu.org @democracyforward.org tell Judge Boasberg: "Plaintiffs will amend their Complaint to reinstate their habeas claim to seek relief for the class of individuals who were removed to El Salvador."

I guess the markets didn’t like to hear the Fed Chair tell the truth about where the economy is heading under Trump.

It's crazy that we're actually at the stage where some people are arguing it's OK to snatch people up off the street and send them to foreign prisons to die without any kind of trial or judicial process. But here we are. And they wonder why we call them Nazis.

Isn't abducting, holding and transporting someone to another country without charge, due process and a court order called kidnapping and trafficking?

PUTIN'S LOVING IT. DUMPY IS FOLLOWING ORDERS.

It's call due process you fucking nazi.

How many more have to die before something is done to stop him and his fucking Nazi co-conspirators?

It's of course false to assert, as this reporter does, that leaders of so-called sanctuary jurisdictions are categorically violating the federal harboring statute, 8 USC 1324. The question is intended to introduce some particularly insidious misinformation into the news cycle.

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?

This is it. We’ve abandoned Europe and our allies for a Third World tinpot dictator.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Time to start impeachment proceedings. If the Supreme Court doesn’t matter, we do not have a working democracy. If we cozy up to an El Salvadoran thug, what are we?

"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

Reminders: "Concentration camps" aren't the same as "extermination camps." Both were/are horrific. Most Nazi camps were *outside Germany*, away from the eyes of German citizens. Those trains? Were to, uh, deport the category of people whose lives were deemed unimportant. Never again is now.

Is 47 really that weak? He couldn't even get a puny dictator like Bukele to release a falsely- imprisoned man? I really thought he had more power than that.

Time for the Hague to step in and deal with Trump and all his minions.

“We are here: Trump is openly defying the Supreme Court while sitting side-by-side with a Latin American strongman who openly mocks our judicial system from inside the Oval Office.” @timmiller.bsky.social and I are depressed, alarmed, angry. Where is the resistance? www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CSh...

🚨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-...

Trump is now officially a Dictator www.facebook.com/share/p/1h91...

Putin is an inhuman piece of shit. And, disgustingly, the Russian Orthodox Church, allegedly a Christian denomination, supports his actions in Ukraine.

BREAKING: Last night, the Harvard faculty chapter of the AAUP and the national AAUP filed a lawsuit & TRO to block the Trump administration from illegally demanding that we keep quiet and change how we teach and research at the point of a financial gun. actionnetwork.org/user_files/u...
