Our simpleminded Attorney General thought it a good idea to go on TV and expressly state that she is promoting "cruel and unusual punishment" (in violation of the 8th Amendment) and denial of due process (in violation of the 5th and 14th Amendments). Can't wait until transcripts appear in courts.

🧵 NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night. Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.” She’s a constituent. Not a threat. Fascism again.

When you reduce millions of people to a single collective “they” & hold all of them guilty of the same crime, you’ve taken an important step to genocide. There is a reason collective punishment is forbidden under the Geneva Conventions. Whenever you hear “THEY” used this way, it’s a huge red flag.🚩

As Bukele prepares to arrest multiple journalists for reporting on the deal he made with gangs before the State of Exception in 2022, remember that the Trump admin chose to send him an MS-13 leader set for a trial in the US who might have testified about that deal, thus ensuring his silence.
