Simply astonishing. We've had 19 months of Israeli government ministers and military commanders telling us they are destroying Gaza. They've destroyed Gaza. And yet western politicians and media still refuse to call it a genocide.
Watch Israel's lips: IT'S A GENOCIDE.

The reason Mahmoud Khalil missed the birth of his child was because a Biden appointee judge kept him in prison. Obviously, Trump deserves primary blame. But it takes a village to do fascism.

No food, aid, or fuel have entered Gaza since March 2.
Community kitchens have closed. Children are sick, thirsty, and starving.
Now Netanyahuβs government wants to occupy Gaza and shut down the existing aid distribution system run by the UN and its humanitarian partners.
Arms embargo now.

A screen grab of a tweet by Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele showing photos of U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen meeting with wrongly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia, with a caption reading, "Kilmar Abrego Garcia, miraculously risen from the 'death camps' & 'torture', now sipping margaritas with Sen. Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador!"
Bukele is using these images to troll US critics of his black-hole prison system and Trump's rule of law violations.
But what they actually confirm (through the lack of shackles and armed guards) is that Abrego Garcia is not the dangerous terrorist he and Trump have portrayed him to be.

Texas and Missouri filed suit in 2021, claiming the program's disbandment was unlawfully
"arbitrary and capricious." They shopped their complaint to the federal court in Amarillo, Texas, where they were guaranteed to draw Kacsmaryk, an ultra-partisan Trump appointee (who would later attempt to ban mifepristone medication abortion nationwide). To nobody's surprise, Kacsmaryk sided with Texas, issuing a nationwide injunction that forced the
government to restart Remain in Mexico almost immediately. Biden's Justice Department promptly begged the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit to freeze Kacsmaryk's injunction, providing ample evidence that his order would
"significantly harm our diplomatic relationships" and mandate complex "diplomatic engagement" with foreign sovereigns. The 5th Circuit refused a stay, blowing off these concerns in one brusque paragraph. Any harm to Biden's foreign policy agenda, it asserted, was "self-inflicted," because the government should have "simply inform[ed] Mexico" that terminating the program "would be subject to judicial review."
The Justice Department then asked the Supreme Court for emergency relief.
Kacsmaryk's decision, it wrote, "imposes a severe and unwarranted burden on executive authority over immigration policy and foreign affairs." His injunction, DOJ wrote, wrested control of foreign policy "by requiring it to immediately negotiate with Mexico to reinstate" a dormant program- "effectively dictating the content of the United States' negotiations with foreign sovereigns." It marked nothing less than a grievous "intrusion into the executive's management of foreign policy," encroaching upon the core of his "constitutional authority."
SCOTUS didn't care. By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court refused to grant a stay; its bare-bones, one-paragraph order did not even address Kacsmaryk's interference with the president's power over international relations. All three liberal justices dissented.
Can district courts order the executive branch to engage in specific acts of diplomatic negotiation?
If SCOTUS doesnβt think so now, why did it let Matthew Kacsmaryk force U.S. diplomats to negotiate the revival of a Trump border policy in 2021 after Biden tried to end it? slate.com/news-and-pol...

INCREDIBLE opinion by Wilkinson refusing to stay Judge Xinis's orders in the Abrego Garcia case, condemning DOJ's arguments as "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear."
