Trump defying a 9-0 Supreme Court decision is the reason I say "if we still have free and fair elections in the United States" when I talk about 2026 midterms.

@kyledcheney.bsky.social posted this yesterday but seeing people who're unaware of it. CIA revealed yesterday that John Ratcliffe had deleted his Signal messages. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump and Bukele claim they can't release anyone from CECOT BUT THEY ALREADY HAVE: at least 9 detainees El Salvador released back to the US in the last 3 months NINE other people freed. Why not Abrego Garcia, who's there on an "administrative error"? DEMAND HIS FREEDOM NOW

When you think of the Republican Party as a Mafia-style organized crime family instead of a political movement, everything makes more sense.

Not just morally wrong but terrible negotiating strategy — senseless and nihilistic.

"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

“ICE Agents Realize They Arrested Wrong Teen, Say 'Take Him Anyway'” The “young man, Merwil Gutiérrez, was later deported to El Salvador's notorious super prison...” 4/15/25 www.newsweek.com/merwil-gutie...

So, people and institutions now have choices to make and yes, they are complicated, fraught with consequences but you're either going to be part of Vichy America or you are not. And that is not complicated at all. www.unpopularfront.news/p/welcome-to...

Merwil Gutiérrez, whose family opened an asylum case after arriving in the US, was deported from New York to the notorious Cecot prison in El Salvador despite his relatives’ insistence that he has no gang ties or criminal history, according to Documented.

NEW from me: A whistleblower says DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data...and then someone posted a threatening letter to his door. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

The existential national crucible that Donald Trump has brought to the fore with his experiment in disappearing people to a torture gulag in El Salvador presents us with one of the starkest test of values and the constitution our country has ever faced. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/has-americ...

It's genuinely hard to express to sort of normal not politically plugged in non-lawyers *how* lawless the Trump administration is, and I think that's some part of the problem. You sound like you're hyperventilating, but it's just a flat description of what is going on.

It certainly looks like Elon Musk’s henchmen stole all the data from the agency which protects workers rights, tried to cover it up, and then threatened to kill the guy who blew the whistle on it.

SCOOP --> The cop who initially attested to Abrego Garcia's alleged MS-13 membership was subsequently suspended and indicted for serious professional misconduct: Sharing case info with a sex worker. This undermines Trumpworld's smears. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1940...

"We were initially told the 238 men sent to El Salvador were hardened Tren de Aragua gang members from Venezuela, but now we know most of them had no criminal records."

"Harvard is changing course, perhaps because it grasped the true takeaway from Columbia’s cautionary tale: Appeasement doesn’t work, because the Trump administration isn’t really trying to reform elite higher education. It’s trying to break it." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

As to how this could happen, suppose somebody was using non-govt-secured devices to do sensitive govt work—say, to share info on Signal. Foreign spies would naturally target those people, might gain access to those devices, and could then track everything happening in 'near real-time'. For example.

Last year, the United States sold more educational services to the rest of the world than it sold in natural gas and coal combined. wapo.st/4luJyph

A whistleblower complaint says that Elon Musk's DOGE team of technologists may have been responsible for a 'significant cybersecurity breach,' likely of sensitive case files, at America's federal labor watchdog reut.rs/4je9RyG

He is a union apprentice and raising three special needs kids, two of them from his wife's previous relationships so yes he is certainly in the running.

Yeah, it's the people describing him as the father of an autistic child who are "sensationalizing" this, and not the people who are insisting this guy with no criminal record is actually some sort of Super Terrorist Voltron who's worse than Osama bin Laden, MS-13 and Pablo Escobar combined.

Bukele has already returned migrants to the U.S. because they were from Central America or they were women—migrants the Trump admin had unilaterally declared as “criminals.” This is all a joke to them. It’s truly sick.

DOOCY: Deporting American citizens to Central American prisons -- is it legal? LEAVITT: Well, it's another question that the president has raised. It's a legal question that the president is looking into.

Where we are as a country

In September 2021, Texas banned nearly all abortions. A JAMA Pediatrics study found that, between 2021 and 2022, infant deaths in Texas surged 12.9%, compared with a much smaller increase in the rest of the US of 1.8%. Infant mortality rates rose 8.3%. www.cnn.com/2024/06/24/h...

this is Mohsen Mahdawi, the green card holder who was just arrested by ICE for rendition at his citizenship interview

“A republic, if you can keep it.” Guess it’s time to decide how much we want to keep it.

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

Since the Trump admin continues to claim Mr. Abrego Garcia is a gang member, I thought I'd take the time to put together a timeline, based on all the documents filed in court, which lays out all the "evidence" the government has ever offered. As you'll find out, there's very little "there" there!

Once again, if you voted for Trump because you thought he'd lower your grocery bills, I have some very bad news for you. news.bloomberglaw.com/internationa...

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

Wouldn't it be nice if every news outlet that covered the Bukele Oval Office meeting noted: District court wrote: Abrego Garcia "has never been charged with or convicted of any crime."⤵️ Fourth Circuit: The government presented "NO EVIDENCE" of MS-13 affiliation. Abandoned argument before court. ⤵️

1. He was in the U.S. legally. 2. A fed court ruled that he CANNOT be deported. 3. Trump defied the court & deported him to an El Salvador prison. 4. The Supreme Court unanimously ruled Trump must bring him back to the U.S. 5. Trump said no. Are we a nation of laws or not? What say u America?

There we go. Support this man.

“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...
