This, plus 20 Republicans who want to be remembered forever as patriots, rather than totally forgotten 20 years from now, & it can all be over. It won't happen, in part, because those 20 Republicans are never asked any questions by anyone in the media about the fascism.

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office.
I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

So The Department of Defense has chosen a new name, The Department of War, because it didn't think the previous name reflected how The Department of Defense (sorry to deadname you, Dept of War) identified itself accurately. But it is still going to kick trans folks out for doing the same thing.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 43 days.
As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

I don’t buy that he was “going to the back of his office where he could access a wifi signal.
That office is a SCIF, the windows even have RF shielding films and mesh, a wifi signal won’t penetrate it. And you can’t exactly call Comcast to install a line, so if he had a “dirty” line, it’s Starlink.

Trump and the Republican Party had no problem picking up the phone and asking Romania to return their dear friend and child rapist, Andrew Tate, but want us to believe they can’t do anything about Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

It is essential for the rule of law that everyone involved in this end up in prison. Nothing else is a sufficient deterrent against the intentional, repeated abuse of government power to systematically deny fundamental rights.
Gritting my teeth and watching the clock as DOJ misses its daily 5 p.m. ET deadline for giving Judge Xinis an update in the Abrego Garcia case ...
15 minutes late so far ...
