The convicted felon's DoJ is admitting that it sent a man to the El Salvadorean slave gulag "by mistake," but that it will not bring him back and US courts have no justification to order his return.

Courts willing to follow the Constitution and the law are the only things standing between us and Stephen Miller’s dystopia right now. And he isn’t happy about it.

This Mel Gibson story is horrifying, and also exactly what political corruption looks like in real time

If you've ever heard any of the tape recordings of the uncontrollable anger of Mr. Gibsonβ€”and then know anything about his domestic violence convictionβ€”the idea of him having a gun is very scary

What can you do?

Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness.

Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up.

Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards.

Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies.

Resist. Stand with others.
