What took so long?

They “monstered” him disgracefully, for page after page day after day.

It would not have been worse to have tarred and feathered him, whipped him up and down every high street, followed by a town crier proclaiming denunciations of him.

It is the #Meidasification of News.🙄

The thumbnails reflect the shouty/frantic bro-ificated clickbaitery of the “business model”🙄

The ‘lede’ is always buried many many minutes into the clip and it’s preceded by many many minutes of ranty filler by eg Ben Meiselas, of tangential “context” 🙄

Nb Vance purpose is to
INFANTILISE THE CRITICS and
THEIR CONCERNS

“By focusing on what kids are saying in a group chat—grow up! I’m sorry,” Vance said. “Focus on the real issues. Don’t focus on what kids say in group chats.”

NPR article contains this statement:

“But she also acknowledged that she is a frequent target of criticism from fellow liberals”

Which encapsulates how fantastical and skewed the “analysis” is

@rparloff.bsky.social did a remarkable job live blogging the hearing, and reproducing the thread in text form is a public service.
Roger is correct the hearing was remarkable: Govt efforts to conceal their continuing bad faith towards Abrego were comprehensively dismantled by his assiduous lawyers.
In the week ahead Judge Xinis may order well Abrego Garcia's release (triggering immediate emergency appeals). To see why, here's my live account for @lawfaremedia.org of Friday's remarkable evidentiary hearing—in either text form or original bsky thread. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/abre...

Outstanding work by @rparloff.bsky.social

and it must be said by Abrego’s lawyers:

skewering the Govt utterly cynical efforts to abuse his rights and manipulate the process and evidence to pretend otherwise

So after post/79

Have I got this right. Basically ICE/ERO have twiddled thumbs since July, had occasional conversations that didn’t go anywhere, didn’t keep a file, yet Govt position is “Abrego cd be removed in 72 hours to Eswatini/Ghana/Uganda” 🙄
Amirite 🤷‍♂️

Indeed, and how do you expect Eswatini to abide by non refoulment of people effectively forced on them ?
Bonkers

Does this mean Eswatini have said no in the past but sort of relented when people put on plane anyway ⁉️
How well does that bode for nonrefoulement⁉️
R: anything else mursky or anderson told you relevant to today?
S: anderson said eswatini said no, but conversations ongoing.
... but said no cases have been denied once manifest is sent over. ... that's the list of who's going on a flight.
R: manifest has nothing to do with MOU?
S: no.

Eswatini has been arbitrarily detaining Jamaican nationals deported there by US for 2 months without access to lawyers.

Thighs is all a bit crap by ICE
While bench conference proceeds, this is what @joshgerstein.bsky.social heard:

Also re refoulment and arbitrary detentions by Eswatini www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne....
Eswatini: Repatriation of Jamaican national must be followed by justice for all US deportees
Eswatini’s authorities must disclose why Orville Etoria was held in detention without charge for more than two months,

Excommunication was lenient then…

A provocative and unnecessary post. Doom casting gets you excommunicated

Was Roger initially unable to identify DE because he was shrouded in a miasma of lies?

Enquiring minds want an image of how this magus of malevolence makes his entry.
October 10, 2025 at 3:23 PM
Good point well made.

Hope all good with you all. Take it easy.
