Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

NYT: "The White House scoffed at the prospect of returning a Maryland man who had been mistakenly deported, despite court orders urging it to pursue his return."
I'd like to draw your attention to the word "urging." Courts don't "urge." That's not how courts work, NYT. Stop laundering his fascism.

What do these corporations have in common?

T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife

United States Steel
In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Judges have been trying HARD to avoid having to send people to jail for contempt, but honestly, it's FAR past the point it was reasonable to pretend to believe "I know nothing, can't answer nothing, national security, above the law" bullshit is a reasonable answer on a civil rights matter.

We are going to have to have contempt hearings in Abrego Garcia, and the district judge is going to need to start putting people in jail until they comply with the very basic order of “tell me where he is and what you are doing to find out.”

The grimmest realization is not the very old one that Trump is a hyper-sensitive narcissist who thinks criticizing him should be illegal.
The grimmest realization is that a substantial number of Americans are born serfs, best suited for a monarchy, who thinks that’s manly and admirable and right.

Trump at the DOJ: "I believe that CNN and MSNDC, who literally write 97.6% bad about me, are political arms of the Democrat Party. And in my opinion, they are really corrupt and they are illegal. What they do is illegal."

Today the biggest split among Democrats is between those who want to stand and fight and those who want to play dead.
House Democrats united to stand and fight. Too many Senate Democrats played dead.
We need more leaders from the stand and fight wing of the Democratic Party.

As one of millions of woman who has ridden the subways (and El) in these cities and dozens more, what is he even talking about?
Having spent plenty of time in all three of these cities, including riding the subways in each, wtf is he even talking about?
Trump: "In major cities like New York, Chicago, and Washington, mothers can't walk their children to the park without fear of being shot, or killed, or raped, or anything. Women can't ride the subway without worrying that a hoodlum will shove them onto the train tracks."

Funny how during ICE raids in sanctuary cities like Newark & Chicago, they name the people arrested but never the businesses hiring them. Being undocumented is a crime, but exploiting undocumented workers? Apparently, it’s just business as usual. Curious, isn’t it?
