Totally agree with this. Flying a person to a third country that they may never have been to, directly into a prison where they are going to be forced to do hard labor, is not a deportation; it's something else entirely.
@washingtonpost.com They were not DEPORTED. Deported means sending them back to their country of origin. These people were sent to a maximum security prison in El Salvador, without any due process or any analysis as to whether they feared harm in El Salvador!
In America, EVERYONE has a RIGHT to due process - regardless of immigration status. It’s fundamental to our Constitution.
Deporting hundreds of people in secret by invoking a wartime proclamation is a blatant abuse of power by President Trump.

The mistake is to think Zelensky could have salvaged this. Trump admin just doesn’t want to support Ukraine. Period. There was also never going to be a peace agreement. That’s been clear but everyone has been pretending otherwise. There can be no confusion now.

Bezos isn’t “bending the knee.” Corporate media isn’t either.
The oligarchs aren’t scared or capitulating, they’re part of a coup in the middle of an aggressive class war. The longer we keep framing it otherwise the worse it’s going to get.

Good where-things-are piece by Katherine Stewart, and I'm glad to see it in the NY Times.
In particular, thinking of the Trump governing coalition as 3 main prongs: the oligarchs, the fanatics, and the mass of Trump voters.
The latter includes some who didn't sign up for what the former are doing.

I'm struck by the near-total failure of leadership across civil society, in a country that fetishizes the concept. Whole sections of leadership books at every bookstore. Named, endowed "leadership" institutes and curricula across higher ed. Awards and special recognition for "leaders." AND YET
