.@lulaoficialbluesky.bsky.social inspired hope for the Amazon. Now is the moment to honor that promise by standing with Indigenous peoples and revoking Decree 12,600, which threatens Amazon rivers for agribusiness profit. Defend the Tapajós. Protect life. #nãoaodecreto12600

If any other president said something like this in a speech to a military academy, it would be a massive scandal. Instead, it isn’t among the ten most dangerous things he’s done this week.

Respondents emphasize that Abrego Garcia was improperly removed to El Sal-
vador because, although he could be removed anywhere else in the world under a
2019 order of removal, that order granted statutory withholding of removal to El Sal-
vador alone. But, while the United States concedes that removal to El Salvador was
an administrative error, see App., infra, 60a, that does not license district courts to
seize control over foreign relations, treat the Executive Branch as a subordinate dip-
lomat, and demand that the United States let a member of a foreign terrorist organ-
ization into America tonight. For starters, because MS-13 members such as Abrego
Garcia have since been designated members of a foreign terrorist organization, they
are no longer eligible for withholding of removal under 8 U.S.C. 1231(b)(3)(B). Fur-
ther, the United States has ensured that aliens removed to CECOT in El Salvador
will not be tortured, and it would not have removed any alien to El Salvador for such
detention if doing so would violate its obligations under the Convention Against Tor-
ture. Moreover, respondents treat the relief here as “routine,” Resp. C.A. Stay
Opp. 1, but that relief goes far beyond merely facilitating an alien’s return, which is
what courts have ordered in other cases. This order—and its demand to accomplish
sensitive foreign negotiations post-haste, and effectuate Abrego Garcia’s return to-
night—is unprecedented and indefensible.

Susan Crawford Wins Wisconsin Supreme Court Election, Despite Elon Musk’s Millions (Gift Article) Susan Crawford defeated Brad Schimel for a State Supreme Court seat in a race that shattered spending records and maintained a liberal majority on the court.

The first of many big defeats for Elon Musk.

He is delusional, unstable, and weak.

He is overplaying his hand.

If we fight, we win.

He will go down as one of the most despised men in history.

It is up to us. Time to turn the tide.

Republicans and Elon Musk are also causing a constitutional crisis in the states The GOP is going to unprecedented lengths to seize power over state courts in North Carolina and Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court race is a referendum on Musk-ism as well as the GOP's extraordinary steps to rig the political system to maintain power.

“I’ve never seen this much interest in a state supreme court election coming directly from the White House," an expert told @ariberman.bsky.social.

This progressive judge is Democrats’ best hope to take down Elon Musk Susan Crawford can strike the first electoral blow against Musk and Trump’s plans for oligarchy.

Why Musk spending $25 million to buy Wisconsin Supreme Court:

-Tesla suing WI
-Keep gerrymandered US House map favoring GOP 6-2
-Make it easier to overturn elections
-MAGA judge pledged to be “support network” for Trump

WI voters can reject oligarchy today
