These executive orders are all illegal. Yet they are being treated by the federal government practically as a higher form of law than that which is passed by the legislature. And therein lies the fundamental problem of Trump 2. This, almost more than anything else, must be stopped.

The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump admin must facilitate the return of SMART Union Local 100 apprentice Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

They need to quit wasting time and bring our union brother home NOW!

They quite literally believe that they can make reality into anything they choose it to be.

This, among many other things, has to be seen as a red line.

As the Trump regime urges "drill baby drill" and romanticizes coal mining, emissions keep going up and carbon sinks are showing signs of severe stress.

Remember ... just because you're not interested in the climate crisis does not mean the climate crisis isn't very much interested in you.

Go to the online DC or Florida Bar orgs and file a complaint against Pam Bondi for not complying with the Supreme Court ruling to return Mr. Garcia from El Salvador. Her bar # is 886440.

One of the keys to beating Trump is to make him look small. The universities are finally starting to do this.

Here’s what I’d like to see: Harvard, Columbia, Yale etcetera rescind the degrees for any current administration official who works with the government to dictate what these institutions teach. Because you can’t collaborate with domestic terrorists.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a β€œterrorist,” who was β€œsent to the right place.”

This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent.

He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

Universities will win if they stick together and focus on what's actually important - non-profit teaching and research towards the public good - and ditch this neoliberal idea that the university is just a business like any other.

If Trump gets away with this crap in El Salvador then, yes, folks, we are a fascist country operating a network of concentration camps.

This HAS to be reversed.

There are three key facts in the Holocaust Encyclopedia produced by the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. This is the second key fact:

What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.
