There are actually quite a few undocumented Russians in the US.

Anyone have any videos of ICE forcefully deporting them?

Or just the brown people?

Pay attention to their messaging. They’re going to steal the next election and say it’s because they got rid of “democrats.” Couple this with the fact they’re amassing a citizenship database, and prepping to charge state election officials with crimes.

When people ask me "how will the public notice capacity failures?" I will point to the fact that Trump is seeking to significantly degrade the ability to prepare for and respond to national disasters at a time when national disasters are getting worse. See also: FEMA.

DOGE cut hundreds of jobs at the National Weather Service, but experts who spoke to WIRED say the agency accurately predicted the state's weekend flood risk. What’s more, they say it underscores the need to sustain funding to the crucial agency.

Reminder:

Our US suggested vaccinations weren’t just magically dreamed up (before RFK Jr and his cult came along).

Vaccination schedules are the result of decades of thought and scientific work.

I grew up among kids with polio. I had whooping cough as a toddler but still remember the pain.

NEW: Trump's Justice Department has sued every federal district judge in Maryland to challenge a court order temporarily barring the government from carrying out some deportations. The move marks the administration’s latest attempt to undermine federal courts.

All the warnings from authoritarian and fascism experts are now fully reality today. If there was any grey line or ambiguity before about whether we're in a fascist state, it is now completely clear we are. There's not sitting back or staying silent anymore.

To admit a mistake takes away from the sense of omnipotence they’re trying to project.
Urging people to focus on this. The Trump administration always has the option, *at any time,* to bring back Abrego Garcia and *try to deport him again through conventional channels.*

Why won't they take *that* step? This is the question that must be answered now.

Trump is asked if he’s planning to ask Bukele to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia & Trump punts to Pam Bondi.

Bondi claims it’s “up to El Salvador if they want to return him – that’s not up to us. [SCOTUS] ruled that if El Salvador wants to return him, we would ‘facilitate’ it, meaning provide a plane.”

UPDATE: El Salvador’s brutal far-right dictator, Trump and Musk friend Nayib Bukele, has confirmed that he will never return any person sent to him from America. And Trump has confirmed he wants American citizens sent to El Salvador to die in a foreign gulag. This is a five-alarm fire for democracy.
Yes, Donald Trump is Planning to Send U.S. Residents En Masse to Death Camps in El Salvador Run By Dictator Nayib Bukele
The White House meeting on Monday between Trump and Bukele isn’t quite a Hitler-Stalin summit, but in the context of this century’s politics and America’s descent into fascism, it approaches it.

El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, mocked SCOTUS today showing just how much damage Trump has done to our country during the past 84 days. Only 1,376 days to go. Will the Republican Party do anything? How about Jill Stein and the Stein Shites? Protest voters? No? Well, that figures.

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.

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.
