It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…

“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

Republicans, Democrats, Independents - Trump expects us all to lay down while he steamrolls over our lives and liberties. Fuck that, and fuck him.

Meet Edward “Big Balls” Coristine, one of Elon Musk’s young tech prodigies working at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Coristine is the great-grandson of a “former” KGB spy.

Coristine's great-grandfather, Valery Fedorovich Martynov, was sent to the United States…
