*INSTITUTIONALIZATION IS WORSE THEN JAIL*

Disabled, mentally ill, and homeless people thrown into institutions don’t get phone calls, lawyers, or trails. THEY ARE DISAPPEARED with no time limits or advocate for as long as the state pleases.

You know it’s bad when prisoners have more protections.

In effect, the Supreme Court ruled that only it could decide issues on a national level. And then, with thousands and thousands of people waiting in limbo for resolution of many legally disputed Trump orders, the justices went on summer vacation, not to return until October.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

They are in charge.

NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him.

He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons.

He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him.

He’s defying the Supreme Court.

Don’t you see what’s happening here?

This Trump/El Salvador prison situation has turned into a massive, lawless debacle that’s locked up people without a shred of evidence they’ve committed a crime. THIS IS THUGGERY that should NOT be swept under the rug, because this could happen to ANY of us. Time to raise our voices!!!!!!

“Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.
