Really cool that the Windows 11 news widget shows Charlie Kirk conspiracy headlines from IBTimes, an outfit run by members of "The Community" cult.

“Antiscience has gone beyond U.S. borders to Europe, Australia, and Africa. Defeating it will require unprecedented commitment and international cooperation, not only between scientific organizations, but also their host governments.”

Kidnapping.

Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.

Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.

A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

-You cannot legally deport people without due process.

-You cannot legally deport citizens.

-They are defining down deportation to break the law.

Hi, sending people to El Salvador, if they're not from El Salvador, is not deportation. It's human trafficking, and this entire regime is complicit in crimes against humanity.

I hope I live long enough to see them all stand trial with the whole world arrayed against them.

The Trump administration is committing crimes against humanity right before our eyes.

They are disappearing people who are in this country legally and sending them to El Salvadoran prison camps to be tortured.

Every official involved deserves nothing less than to be tried at The Hague.

Watched Nuremberg (2000) last night for no particular reason. Highly recommended, great feel-good ending.

This garbage is what the BBC consider "US politics unspun". You understand more about US politics if you never pay attention to it than you do following the BBC. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
