How do we make this guy famous?
This picture may haunt me to the end of my days.
It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man.
An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/

3/4. If we accept the idea that moving a person from one place to another undoes rights and disempowers the judiciary, we are endorsing the basic Nazism practice that enabled the killing of millions.

2/4. The entire practice of the Holocaust of the Jews involved zones of statelessness. It is easier to move people away from law than it is to remove law from people. Almost all of the killing took place in artificially created stateless zones.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

From @theathletic.bsky.social: Mary Kate Cornett was a normal 18-year-old, thriving as a college freshman at Ole Miss. Then, a false internet rumor — amplified by ESPN’s Pat McAfee — about her and her boyfriend’s father destroyed her life. nyti.ms/3RtsbYf

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

Tucker Carlson is now repeating unfounded allegations that weapons sent to Ukraine are ending up with groups that include Hamas. The Hamas claim originated from a fake BBC-Bellingcat video created by a Russian disinformation campaign mimicking news organisations and was debunked months ago.
The fact that idiots like this scumbag, have an audience of millions, and can spew evidence free BS like this, with zero recourse!?! I finally get that a huge number of people, have no idea this stuff is spreading like a virus.
