Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.

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.
stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation.

-You cannot legally deport people without due process.

-You cannot legally deport citizens.

-They are defining down deportation to break the law.
Leavitt confirmed that the WH is working on deporting US citizens to El Salvador

Take Husband’s Name? No Vote For You!

GOP “Save" act is an attack on women.
It’s men-only voting like way back when.
Birth name must match in this awful act.
Money can fix your name. That’s a poll tax.

What are the odds that enough Supreme Court Justices believe we shouldn't put people in foreign torture prisons without due process & especially when the government misrepresents the evidence it has in briefs it submits to the Court?

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

The SAVE Act is a poll tax.

Over 69 million women would have to get new IDs to vote under the SAVE Act—all of which, except military IDs, cost money.

As @mcclellan.house.gov explained, whether it’s $1,000 or 1¢, no one should have to pay to vote.

Trump wants to control all federal firing & hiring. He wants to be able to reduce & refill the ranks of career fed'l employees. It's soft coup (non-military) happening before our eyes, but too many people aren't paying attention. Read about it here: joycevance.substack.com/p/humphreys-...

I clicked the "Dogs" thread for a little happy escapism from the political hellscape. Unfortunately, it shares the first letters with a certain despised acronym. So... moving over to "Cats" for a smile or two.
