Why are republican congreess women suddenly dropping out of politics today? Perhaps they don’t want to spend the next couple of years explaining away pedophilia in their ranks?

Sean Hecker, Kilmar's attorney, once hailed how much courage it took Kilmar to challenge what DOJ/DHS is doing to him. That stuck with me. Kilmar Abrego is just some guy, vulnerable in a way most of us are not.
But he has taken on Trump and ... thus far at least, prevailed.

"Today’s ruling is a powerful affirmation that the rule of law still matters," Sandoval-Moshenberg said. "The Court made … clear that the govt cannot detain a person indefinitely without legal authority, and that every agency involved must now comply fully and promptly with the Court’s directives."
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is released from ICE custody following judge's order
Judge Paula Xinis of the U.S. District Court in Maryland ruled that the Trump administration lacked the legal authority to continue holding Abrego.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

Antifa is not a real organization. It's simply an acronym, a philosophy - it means anti-fascist.
And every American President - before the current one - has opposed fascism.
Let's take back our flag.
