Florida today. The fact that 1/2 our country refuses to protect our children from real threats while blabbering about a handful of trans athletes being unfair makes me sick to my stomach.

This is not deportation. Deportation is normally to your home country, and you are normally free once there. We are sending innocent men to an inhumane prison in a foreign country that is not their home to be tortured and likely die in there. This is not deportation. It’s many times worse.

Are trump supporters able to recognize that presidents ignoring the constitution and the supreme court could bite them in the ass someday? What if a president decides guns are illegal will they realize tyranny hurts them too? Because they sure seem ok with the destruction of the rule of law now.

More dear leader insecure propaganda bullshit. If Trump can prove he’s actually 6’3″ and 224 using any kind of verifiable measuring methods, I’ll self deport to El Salvador.

I can think of about 1000 more reasons that Trump should be rotting in a cruel prison in El Salvador than they can give for Kilmar Garcia to be there. Due process matters. If they destroy it for some, it dies for us all. It’s wrong. It’s unamerican. It’s unacceptable. #bringkilmarhome

I was traveling internationally this past week. For the first time in my nearly ½ a century, I was reluctant and embarrassed to admit where I was from.

I take no joy in watching the markets crash and Trump destroy American business and the economy. Ok, that’s a lie. I take a little joy in the fact that Tesla is crashing even faster than most of the market.

US exports to China. China has announced a matching 34% tariff in response to the Trump’s plan. Farmers are going to get hammered.

The trump fascists sent a legal immigrant to a prison in El Salvador, due to an “administrative error”. The Trump admin is arguing in court that they do not have the authority to demand El Salvador to release him back. This was all done without due process, a dviolation of the constitution.

Protect Yunseo Chung. Trump and his fascist admin are demonstrating their disdain for the constitution by weaponizing deportation to trample on freedom of speech. I don’t give a flying f**k how you feel about Israel/Palestine, this should trouble every american. https://leftofmiddle.com/cm7j

The trump administration is saying it’s ok to ignore the Constitution as long as you’re ignoring it for a lot of people or it would be too much work.

This is so fucked and illegal. Please read the whole thread [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Elon Musk’s Super PAC is now offering Wisconsin voters $100 each to sign its petition against “activist judges.” How the flying f**k is this legal?

Your daily reminder that this fascist pardoned the people who used violence to try and overthrow our democracy.

“Respect the Troops!” Approximately 31.2% of active-duty military members self-identify as belonging to a racial minority group, which is higher than the 24.5% non-white demographic share of the US population. Trump and white supremacist Hegseth are trying to erase them.

Unilever removed the CEO of Ben & Jerry’s for progressive political posts. That’s pretty much the Ben and Jerry’s brand. So, add all these brands to your “don’t support fascism” list.

“In the self-evident truth that all people are created equal, all means all. Nothing more. And certainly nothing less.” Federal Judge Ana Reyes Congress has failed. The judges are our last hope of preserving democracy.

Trump supporting State Senator Justin Eichorn was arrested today

Trump supporting State Senator Justin Eichorn was arrested today for soliciting a minor. I’ll wager a sizable sum that for any Trans person you can find that assaulted a woman or kid, I can find a politician, a policeman, and a religious leader. So I’m giving 3 to 1.

ICE Administrator Homan says today “We’re not stopping. I don’t care what the judges think.” The Trump administration is declaring, openly, that they rule with unchecked authority. This is tyranny and anyone that believes in the Constitution should be pushing back.

Deporting people to some of the worst, most violent prisons on ea

Deporting people to some of the worst, most violent prisons on earth without due process is not the America I grew up believing in. It’s f**king depraved. We don’t know if these people are actual gang members. They might be citizens. We don’t know because the orange dictator is a tyrant.

Neither outcome from the CR bill vote today was good. But the fact that the Dems voted for it without even forcing some concessions from the other side is just mind-bogglingly stupid. I guarantee that if the rolls had been reversed, Republicans would have gotten something before caving
