Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

Trump says he'd like to deport US citizens to El Salvador: "I'd like to go a step further. I don't know what the laws are, we always have to obey the laws, but we also have homegrown criminals that push people into subways... I'd like to include them in the group of people to get out of the country"

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukeleโ€™s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: โ€œWe want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.โ€

They're building concentration camps for political dissidents

This sneering resistance to the judiciaryโ€™s intervention was both entirely predictable and profoundly ominous. From the start, the U.S. governmentโ€™s behavior in this case has been a conscience-shocking breach of both laws and norms that once stood as a firewall to safeguard all of our civil liberties. And it is now spiraling out of control. In a matter of days, Justice Department lawyers and administration officials have burned through basic legal duties in defense of a hideously unlawful scheme that seeks to permanently render innocent people to a black site. They have torched their credibility by violating the most fundamental obligations of candor to a courtโ€”not hesitantly, but proudly so, with undisguised disdain toward judges attempting to salvage whatever remains of the rule of law.

The Justice Department spent the weekend defying a federal court, and this morning Trump and his top officials revealed that they will defy the Supreme Court, refusing to take ANY steps to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back from El Salvador.

In โ€œWay of the Kingsโ€ thereโ€™s a cursed king who doesnโ€™t know whether he will wake up a genius or an idiot each morning.

Thatโ€™s how I am now with anger. Today I am very angry.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. Itโ€™s not intellectually superior. Itโ€™s the virus theyโ€™re trying to infect us with. NO
