Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

That right?

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

I remember when the President of the United States saw it as his job to RESCUE Americans held illegally abroad. Now he muses about ways to SEND us there.

In Utah, you can strike out the "may." That is what is happening.
did you know our tax dollars may pay for keeping coal plants open
while at the same time increasing our electricity bills
in the name of subsidizing a failing sector of the fossil fuel industry?

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
