This reminded me of that time I turned the television on in the middle of the night to see an infomercial with two brothers selling real estate teaching you how to sell real estate... however they never once said anything about the fact that they were identical twin little people.

Here's an excellent explainer of the Kilmer Abrego Garcia situation by the great @kellyscaletta.bsky.social Very well worth the time to watch all of it.
I hope you can take the 18 minutes to watch this. I spent over 50 hours on this video, making sure I got every detail right.
I dismantle every single argument Trump and his people have made. No fake humility here.
Will be adding the Substack now.

Remove the Olympics & World Cup from US, it is not safe for visitors. When you travel to the US you risk arbitrary arrest and abduction, random acts of extreme firearm violence and terrorism, unknown pathogens and disease, and discrimination or xenophobic attacks.

"What does Jesus say about sending migrants to foreign torture prisons without due process?" I asked my soulless Jesus interpreter in my phone. The initial response did seem promising, answering, "Treating migrants with disrespect, or denying their fundamental rights, is a grave offense."
