Remarkable and courageous.
Most of my friends think I'm wasting my time and, I probably am. But I had to try.
Here is an open letter, and an honest plea, to Clarence Thomas, in hopes that he might do the right thing this decision season.
He hates me as much as I hate him. But I had to try.

As the Trump administration tries to remake society along apartheid lines, your vote to stop the assault, however unlikely, is absolutely essential.

Please make a comment to show that we don’t want a politicized federal workforce.
New from me: Everything feels overwhelming. But here is a tangible thing you can do: write a comment to oppose Trump's plan to convert 50,000 career civil servants into political appointees. Deadline is May 23. Please share!

If this stands, we have lost the Constitutional rights we fought and died for.
Trump is denying due process to foreign nationals here legally before ripping them from their families and deporting them.
Do we really believe this regime will follow any sort of due process for American citizens before Trump tries to deport them?
Call it what it is: fascism.

Before press came in — but while live feed was running on Bukele’s feed — Trump said to him: “home-growns are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.”

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.

Thank you, President Biden. I miss your humanity in the White House.

Exactly. And American citizens are next. We need millions of us marching in the streets.
Bukele doesn't "have something" on Trump.
Trump isn't afraid to fight for Garcia's return. He doesn't want him returned.
Trump and Bukele are engaged in a mutually-beneficial authoritarian partnership designed to profit off the destruction of legal protections. That's it. It isn't that hard.
