- Rumeysa Öztürk has never been charged with a crime.
- Mahmoud Khalil has never been charged with a crime.
- Momodou Taal has never been charged with a crime.
- Badar Khan Suri has never been charged with a crime.
State Department spox Tammy Bruce just blatantly lies and says that students are getting visas revoked for "illegal activity" (Rumeysa Ozturk was not charged with a crime)

A lot to be said about this. Two thoughts:

1. If the US were actually at war with Venezuela-TdA, Secretary Noem would likely be in violation of Geneva Convention III article 13 (exposure to public curiosity)

2. The USG admitted to court: Many of those sent to El Salvador have no criminal record

Cool cool. Powerful congressman has no idea what editorial standards means
oh my god -- Comer thinks "editorial standards" literally refers to standards for editorials and is corrected by the NPR head

The Constitution is very clear that you don't have to do due process if number too big
And here we go -- Fox News is now saying we should get rid of "due process" because it's too cumbersome.

Brian Kilmeade: "But I also think it's not practical to think that we can do due process on 8 million people."

Unfuckingbelievable, he STILL thinks "let the fascists do all the horrible things so people will vote Dem in the midterms bc we aren't as bad" is a viable strategy. @schumer.senate.gov is not equipped for this moment in history. This is not 1992, Chuck. This is a coup.
Schumer: "Our plan is to make Donald Trump the quickest lame duck in modern history by showing how bad his policies are ... I believe by 2026, the Republicans in the House and Senate will feel like they are rats on a sinking ship because we have so gone after Trump."

every person involved in this needs to be in prison
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

It is human trafficking.
Totally agree with this. Flying a person to a third country that they may never have been to, directly into a prison where they are going to be forced to do hard labor, is not a deportation; it's something else entirely.
@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!

Trump issued an executive order invoking a wartime law the Alien Enemies Act of 1798—a little-known law—would allow the government to deport without due process.

Even if you aren't *yet* part of a targeted population, do it now.

Who knows what happens to the process now that they're taking an axe to USPS.
Apropos of nothing— a reminder to keep passports renewed and to know you can’t travel on one that’s 6 months from expiration

Musk said our civilization's greatest weakness was empathy. Cops demonstrate his ghastly concept: they exist to protect the property of our oppressors over our rights bc it is profitable to do so. Empathy would prevent them from doing the profitable thing at the expense of our liberty.

Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.
