If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring all removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

One of the reasons I’m struggling to inhabit the current historical era is that I along with many others have been saying that US prisons are torture chambers for decades and most people don’t mind this in the least. I’m not sure who will be moved to close prisons now.

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

Authoritarians don't need to point a gun at everyone or engage in tireless, individualized harassment and brutality. The key is to install a dictator in our heads. A constant, bleeding feeling that we are being watched, judged, threatened, and surveilled as our worlds shrink and darken.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

I drew the Marvel characters professionally for years and still don't know the difference between the Silver Surfer and Vision. OTOH I could spot Lana Lang 3 miles away. It's a ginger thing. #Redhead #MCU #SilverSurfer #Vision #Ginger #SuperHero

some local progressive just knocked on my door because he’s running for mid city west neighborhood council. I will vote for him for making the effort to talk to me and listen to my concerns! I guess what I mean is if you are running for a smol office go knock on every door. you will earn votes.

If you abduct someone and send them involuntarily and without recourse to a country where they've never lived to be imprisoned, that isn't deportation, it's human trafficking

Damn, Kamala's husband didn't resign after his law firm caved to the Dumfph regime. Between that and the Dodgers' caving in to visit the Oval, I have to ask myself why I thought any of these guys are worth my admiration.

Remember what you're watching is theater. They can't act for crap most of the time, but every single politician you voted for to represent you had to win a popularity contest (called a quote-unquote election) to attain their position. #politics

BREAKING: ICE has released the immigrant family from Sackets Harbor, NY that they unlawfully detained more than one week ago. No one — let alone a mother with three children — should ever experience ICE agents ripping you from home and sending you thousands of miles away to a detention facility.
