It is FAR MORE important that people debunk the accusations of terrorism, on which the political fight pivots, than focus on implications for US citizens IF this precedent holds.

As I said: Stewart Rhodes remains an adjudged terrorist. But Trump freed him and deported Abrego Garcia, who is not.
Wouldn't it be nice if every news outlet that covered the Bukele Oval Office meeting noted:

District court wrote: Abrego Garcia "has never been charged with or convicted of any crime."⤵️

Fourth Circuit: The government presented "NO EVIDENCE" of MS-13 affiliation. Abandoned argument before court. ⤵️

THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM

My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social.

The governing ideology of the far right has become a
monstrous, supremacist survivalism.

Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?

It's not because of immigrants, trans people, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.

It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains

If the expiring provisions of Trump's 2017 tax law are extended, the richest 1% would receive an overwhelming share of the benefit.

Shocker.

As this tax scam blows up the deficit, it will be used as an excuse to cut the social safety net for everyone else.
