I hope this is something that doesn't get lost when we talk about deportations: NO ONE should be abducted without accusation or explanation by unidentified thugs and shipped to a foreign prison indefinitely without legal representation or the chance to contact loved ones. NO ONE, innocent OR guilty.
There are very uncomfortable echoes in the discussion about Abrego Garcia of questions people ask me about how I can "feel comfortable" defending "criminals" and "professional tenants" and "welfare queens" and "scammers" and "deadbeats."

It's "yes people are entitled to a defense BUT..."

There is more evidence behind the claim "JD Vance killed the pope" than there is behind the claim that any of the people renditioned to the slave camp in El Salvador are gang members.

I used to be so angry at mainstream outlets for never writing the truth about Israeli war crimes...but I didn't realize how much worse it will be when they DO cover it, but nobody in a position of power is moved to stop it. Everybody knows and nobody cares.
This passage in The New Yorker, definitively proves the IDF systematically breaks international law *and* lies about it.

Firsthand testimony of medical equipment “methodically” destroyed.

But, IDF spokesperson: “Claims that the IDF deliberately targets medical equipment are unequivocally false.”

People are not mad enough at Israel for intentionally starving Palestinians. It seems surreal to me that the international community is allowing this to happen. There are warehouses full of food and medications that other nations have sent but Israel won't allow in. We are watching a war crime live.

Fascism is what happens when you legally enshrine the protection of bigoted beliefs more than the victims and targets of bigotry. That's what happened here.

Free Kilmar. Free everyone unjustly imprisoned in El Salvador by the Trump administration. Free every political prisoner.
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

The full quote from RFK, Jr. is truly disgusting and this is 100% him calling for institutionalization of autistic people. This is horrifying.

if i live to see these idiots out of power, whoever takes power next will try and browbeat me into accepting that reversal of the Kill All Faggots Mandate isn't a high policy priority and it needs to stay in place so they can get a cloture vote on a means-tested 20% subsidy for the ebola vaccine

The fact that the government is using charges of antisemitism to justify sending people to concentration camps is the most enraging manipulation of discourse that the current fascists have engaged in thus far.

They’ll live out their Nazi fantasies all while claiming they are doing it for the Jews.

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing.

"That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done."

"That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release.

Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

No one should be above the law, most especially the President.

Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional.

They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.
Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."
