State-sponsored kidnapping

The Trump admin took people by force, based on flimsy accusations & sent them not to their home country but to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador—in defiance of a court order.

Holding people against their will through deception and threat is by definition—kidnapping.

Lots of "Very Serious People" don't want to admit what is plain and obvious and in front of our eyes and explains so much:

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are two of the most ignorant and uninformed people to ever be allowed near public office anywhere in the western world.

It's obvious to all of us.

Did y'all hear about Elon Musk new $2 BILLION FAA contract?

Conflict of interest . . .👀

Instead of Republicans taking jobs and programs away, they need to be investigating this—but OH RIGHT—they report to King Musk.

Rep McCormick (Roswell—safe red) can’t gaslight his constituents—but they need to wake up. He won’t do a damn thing to stop Trump.

A woman asks about Trump declaring himself “king” & what he will do to stop him. His smugness is off the charts.

This is the guy who said hungry kids should get jobs.

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention!

This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.
