“It does matter how you win, and there is a cost to standing up for what is right. But it may be that, like the hero Beowulf — who voluntarily leaves his home in Sweden to help the Danes in their fight for survival — we are sometimes called to pay it.”

I mean we haven’t yet but I feel like we could if we wanted to
surely we can come up with something better for 7 billion people than being lorded over by a bunch of plundering elderly murder and torture enthusiasts who whisper to each other about printing spare organs so they can immiserate others in perpetuity

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.
I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

@jasmineforus.bsky.social: Abrego Garcia "a lot less criminal than the person that's sitting in the White House because last time I checked, he didn't have any criminal convictions."

YES bring Kilmar home 😭 and everyone else sent without due process. And as a souvenir I would love some democracy if you have room 🙏
I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Hypothesis: there’s no contract and we’re not actually paying El Salvador.

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments
BREAKING: Trump administation attests that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is alive and secure but is under the "sovereign, domestic authority of El Salvador." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is not normal. This is not legal. This is not governing. We are allowed to remove them from office. The impeachment process exists precisely for situations like this. And if Congress isn’t doing their job either, well, we know what to do.

It’s like a suicide bomber is in charge, except not exactly. Bc we’re the ones covered in C4.
What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs.
That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result.

Please understand—the structures that supported our govt, society, and economy are largely gone. If we want a chance at getting them back, we have to band together and support each other through a general strike. Collective power is how we win.
