This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Offering impunity for political violence is wildly dangerous
Less pithily, it is one part of an ongoing insurrectionist movement to strengthen authoritarianism in the United States by demonstrating there is no real cost for pro-Trump political violence. bsky.app/profile/past...
Pardoning the people convicted of crimes related to January 6 would be an extension of the insurrection that began that day, as I explained to the Washington Post: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Musk comes from a family that moved to South Africa *for* the racism. He has repeatedly endorsed Great Replacement Theory in the US & Neo-Nazis of the AfD in Germany. He championed the rights of white nationalists and restored Nazi accounts to Twitter.
But I'm sure the Nazi salute was an accident.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
