President Trump said the only way out of "Alligator Alcatraz" is to be deported — but that's not the way U.S. law works.
We're defending people's right to contest their detention and deportation in court.

😂 Good point. Bondi ordered 1,000 FBI agents to review roughly 100K pages of Epstein files (the ones that don't exist but now exist again but Obama wrote) - and Senator Dick Durbin said the FBI agents were told to "flag" any mentions of Trump. This is a must read from Marcy:
Reup: Congratulations to Pam Bondi for creating an additional 1,000 people who know what is in the Epstein files.
Really superb work!

Pam Bondi Reportedly Created 1,000 Witnesses to the Jeffrey Epstein File - emptywheel
In her bid to politicize the search for Jeffrey Epstein files, Pam Bondi created one thousand witnesses to what might be in the file.

Don’t forget: Trump already tried to sue a woman in 2023 for calling him a rapist, and a judge threw the case out. The woman he tried to sue? E Jean Carroll. 😂

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID.
This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

Hey remember in 2017, when Donald Trump was President, and North Korea successfully tested a thermonuclear device, and in response Trump, like, decided to become best friends with Kim Jong Un?
It's always bizarre seeing what countries are "allowed" to have nukes.

I believe the separation of Church and State is one of our most important ideals as a nation. When that line blurs, law and equality matters less, and flawed mortals get to act with more and more unchecked power in ways that threaten freedom.

Trump has gutted food inspection programs at the FDA and USDA — including the committee that investigated last year's fatal Boar's Head listeria outbreak.
The USDA is also rolling back safety regulations to “streamline” meat processing.

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.
