If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Trump’s Disappearing People Czar Homan gives a babbling, lawless, un-american answer about grabbing people without due process and sending them to hard labor prisons in far off lands. 🇺🇸

Looks like Trump's businedd play of stiffing the small contractors after they do the work also works in a kleptocracy.
Chief Justice John Roberts on Wednesday night said that the U.S. Agency for International Development and the State Department did not need to immediately pay for more than $1.5 billion in already completed aid work.

This crazy video shared by trump is not really to simply own the libs. It is more about creating a distraction story to compete with the atrocious budget bill for tax cuts passed by the house. Keep your eyes on the ball Americans.

Christian support for Trump that essentially boils down to “he’s a great deal-maker” only makes sense within a world that prioritizes the accumulation of wealth, which is another way to say that many people support Trump because they’re greedy.

Less than 10 days and MULTIPLE CASES already where ICE under Trump's hyper-charged enforcement orders have arrested Puerto Rican citizens!

This man's family was sent to an ICE detention center in Milwaukee. Once ICE confirmed they were citizens, all they got was a "sorry."
🚨What the hell is going on? 🧵

Another PUERTO RICAN family detained, a man tells Telemundo his sister, her mother in law, & a child were taken by ICE in Milwaukee & driven to facility where his sister explained they’re US CITIZENS. ICE response to this flagrant violation? “Sorry”

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed.

The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

Some assumptions you have to hold to believe this is decent:

1. US colonization ended long ago, + the struggles against them now are futile.

2. Indigenous ppl (when organized) will always follow capitalist modes of production.

3. The primary and only relationship to land is one of ownership.
a decent article from the dreaded noah on how a blut und boden nationalism has come to cloak itself in the language of "decolonization" and "indigenous land"

No, you are not on Indigenous land
Pieces of territory belong to institutions, not to racial groups.

Vance’s two most memorable debate moments seem to have been complaining that he was supposed to be able to straight-up lie and refusing to admit that Trump lost the 2020 election, both of which should be disqualifying and also are scary given he’s a coin flip away from being VP come January 20.

Trump is publicly sexually harassing his political opponent. That is the language for it.

It is not “charged discourse,” it is behavior that has been illegal in the workplace since shortly after the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings.
