3/4. If we accept the idea that moving a person from one place to another undoes rights and disempowers the judiciary, we are endorsing the basic Nazism practice that enabled the killing of millions.

Mahmoud Khalil was here legally. Detained.
Rumeysa Ozturk was here legally. Detained.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia was here legally. Detained & deported.
MAGAs don't want "legal" immigration. They want to stop non-white immigration—just like pre-1965. "AGAIN" in MAGA always meant reviving Jim Crow America.

If you abduct someone and send them involuntarily and without recourse to a country where they've never lived to be imprisoned, that isn't deportation, it's human trafficking

The IRS agreed to share legally protected taxpayer information with DHS and ICE.
Federal law clearly protects taxpayer privacy. This agreement is illegal.
This is an assault on every single taxpayer's rights and will destroy lives.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling.
People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯.

Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Things COVID has proven:
1) The job you were told couldn’t be done remotely, can be done remotely.
2) Many disabled workers could have been working from home, but corporations just didn’t want them to.
3) Internet is a utility and not a luxury.
4) Universal healthcare is a necessity.

@washingtonpost.com They were not DEPORTED. Deported means sending them back to their country of origin. These people were sent to a maximum security prison in El Salvador, without any due process or any analysis as to whether they feared harm in El Salvador!
In America, EVERYONE has a RIGHT to due process - regardless of immigration status. It’s fundamental to our Constitution.
Deporting hundreds of people in secret by invoking a wartime proclamation is a blatant abuse of power by President Trump.

White House official says 137 immigrants deported under Alien Enemies Act
Trump officials said the deportations don’t violate a judge’s order barring use of the Alien Enemies Act for removals — but also questioned the order’s validity.
