This is important for us all to watch, absorb, save, and rewatch. I trust Marc Elias and others at Democracy Docket. They have been winning in the courts throughout Trumps many assaults.

Keaton in “Godfather” “helped us see the Corleones as both fascinating and repellent” — right down to the final shot, where “the door swings shut in front of her, obscuring her like a closing tomb.”

"Send them back where they came from" not good enough when they have embarrassed the administration. They must be deported to a place where he might be tortured.

Julie DiCaro @juliedicaro.bsky.social · 1d

So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS won’t agree to send him there because it’s not cruel enough.

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

For weeks, Mr. Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who is married to a U.S. citizen, has made clear that he would not challenge his deportation if he were sent to Costa Rica, which has promised him legal residency and guaranteed that he would not be sent back to El Salvador.

But the Trump administration has refused to deport him to Costa Rica, and in an earlier hearing this week, Judge Xinis pressed the administration to consider the option or clarify why it was unacceptable.

🚨 HEY NYC — This clip alone is completely disqualifying. Absolutely humiliating stuff from @andrewcuomo, refusing to condemn Trump for going after NY AG Tish James.

A vote for him is very clearly a vote for Trump.

Trump is a political arsonist. He requires crisis and chaos to survive. If there is no crisis, he will create one. Chaos is his oxygen. He lights the match, relishes in the destruction, and eventually takes credit for the solution. It is he who must be extinguished.
