Yep. This has consistently been their strategy since Reagan. It is diabolically effective.

… which is one of the reasons I think that it’s particularly courageous.

Yes. It’s a true act of courage. Bukele could do something to Van Hollen too, and you know that the US wouldn’t do anything to protect its own citizen.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

Our cowed, shitty major national newspapers NYT and WaPo are, hours in, still not covering the nationwide anti-Trump protests. (The Guardian is, of course.)

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody. She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

It took the entirety of the 20th century to build what they're already destroying.

You don’t know who we just disappeared to El Salvador. Think about that.

Oh yeah, that’s totally standard operating procedure for cops these days. (And reprehensible) What makes this one more terrifying is that they are in plain clothes, with no identification, and refusing to identify themselves in any way. Total secret police shit.

I know less than nothing about football, but isn’t this guy a big Trumpist? In which case, go away forever to whatever cave you came from, dude

I’m always amazed at the centrist appeaser mediocrities that come out of New York State. (Not @aoc.bsky.social, who is consistently fantastic)

In order to be a legislator of any value, one must never vote for any Trump bill, or to approve any Trump nominee, for *any reason whatsoever*. Doing so enables galloping authoritarian takeover. Shame on you, @schumer.senate.gov
