We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

Luis Alberto Castillo arrived in the United States so that he could “give everything to his son,” said his sister. Then, while scrolling on TikTok, she found out he was headed to Guantánamo.

The Trump admin is arguing that the Executive Branch is not subject to constraint by the Judicial Branch. Their position is that the president has unlimited authority and checks and balances are not meant to exist on his powers.
It’s a coup by false reinterpretation of the Constitution.

So I guess we’re in the capitulation slash vichyfication phase. Everyone can see that nobody in power is fighting back at all but unless you knew that they’re all in (no really) on it no one has a coherent explanation.

posting about palestine here feels a little bit like wearing a keffiyeh in an airport like it’s not technically wrong but there’s an unspoken agreement that it would be troublesome. i think to truly defeat twitter it should maybe feel a little less like an airport.
