The sheer amount of time, money, and resources this government has spent to torture one random guy is astounding.
The sheer amount of time, money, and resources this government has spent to torture one random guy is astounding.
And UnAmerican.
For them the fear and performative cruelty is the ROI
Noem will get her day in prison for her horrific crimes against humanity
Imagine the Hadean torment awaiting Trump and his cronies at the end of it all.
Why kind of "torment"? π€ͺ
Youβre looking at it wrong. The time, money and resources have been spent pandering to the racist Republican base. This is the promise Republicans make to their voters and they always deliver. The ultra rich get the corporate welfare and tax cuts. Everyone else gets the racism and culture wars.
That's right! However, they see it as an example. Cruelty is the point!
These bastards are such bigots!
illegal
Why?
No surprise, just clickbait.
Lots of us have know these things before Trump was elected. Maybe, we didn't speak out enough. Or, just talk to the neighbors. Now it may be too late for talk. Can we hold out until November 2026? Can we get the votes? Can we get the candidates? Or, can we reform the Democratic Party?
We can do it. We get through til 2026 by supporting each other here when we need encouragement. We've also got more elected Dems standing up!We can reform the party. The solution is to vote in primaries and choose candidates who clearly state what they stand FOR, not just who they're against. ππ
If Trump doesn't takeover Congress. Lock them out. Declare martial law. He declares emergencies at the drop of a hat. I have questions...
I think if it gets to that point, the protests up to this point will be put to shame. And I think some of the less die hard MAGA and the Never Trumpers will join us in the streets since he's fucking them over, too. His lies won't work once they start feeling the truth of that big ugly bill.
UGANDA?! WTF?!
Canary ainβt out of the coal mine, yet.
Yep. She's STILL a cunt. (And I don't use that word lightly.)
She puts the βcuntβ in βcountry.β
It is a crime against humanity a human rights violation they have no business to send them to Uganda he has no citizenship or connection to Uganda he has an American family this is cool and unusual punishment violates the 8th Amendment as well as the rest of the Bill of Rights.
Maga might think it's cool but it is cruel and unusual punishment.
It's truly Orwellian
We are there.
Our tax dollars!
One random, innocent guy!
They do it to prove that they can, and that makes it worth the expense. You cannot let anyone believe that the law will protect their rights if the Trump admin has targeted them.
It's about the optics and symbolism-- and cruelty
The ultimate in punching down, bringing the entire weight of the federal government (going way beyond!) to bear on one random man, with no way to make it stop. A howling, screaming, grievous injustice.
Uh huh and just more democratic rhetoric no solution while they spout the its not fair line this man is being tortured by a government that claims America is the land of the free such bullshit π
Millions of dollars spent on this dude. His crimeβ¦not being white
Epstein files
His terrible crime is that reporters learned his name early on and he became the face of Trump Administration illegal renditions to El Salvador.
Trump: "Garcia was born in Kenya....i mean, Uganda."
The intended moral of this story, as with all fascism, is "it gets worse if you fight back."
Too bad for them we're not going to listen. I think there's one HUGE difference between modern-day Americans and Germans from the 1920s. We're far more stubborn and even a bit spoiled. Hell, MAGA acts as entitled as their ππ© does. When the Medicaid and SNAP cuts hit, I think they'll turn on him.
I think they will think it's all worth it if "undeserving" brown people are punished
Once it hits their own pockets and bellies? The most fanatic will remain loyal, but not all of them will. They're breaking from him already and his approval rating is the lowest ever. The GOP town halls are already a nightmare, and its REPUBLICANS who are showing up to give them hell.
Nah, itβll be when Trump dies of natural causes and Vance steps in. Heβs a good stooge, but heβs no president, and certainly no dictator. Peter thiel will try to puppet him, but MAGA is nothing without a mascot.
I'll take it if it results in MAGA's decline.
At the very least theyβll probably die a lot sooner.
He embarrassed them because they screwed up. They will kill people for a lot less soon.
One guy they ADMITTED to sending to El Salvador in error. And no have spent months claiming he's a danger. Do they think we'll forget they deported him IN ERROR?
After all tne dust settles, I hope the justice system will make Trump's minions pay for this. He has immunity, but they don't.
Welcome to π π€‘fascism ... @ π·πΊπΊπΈTrumperica And #Trump s "minions" belong to the system now. In several months there will be no (independent) "justice system" anymore.
Fascism eventually flames out. It always has. We will prevail in the end, and I have zero doubt about it. The ride is going to be bumpy, but we're going to make it through.
Good luck! π πΆβπ«οΈ
Thanks. I know it's not going to be easy. But our saving grace is that Trump is a dumb fucking ape, and we're smarter. We'll keep our cool like LA and DC before us. When there's no violent footage to justify sending in the National Guard, he'll look more foolish to the world than he already does.
#Fascism is not succeeding due to its smartness but with means of manipulating dumb people + pure violence.
I can't deny the manipulation of stupid people. I'm still not giving up, though.
Pooh Bear has always been very wise...lol.
they *cannot* be seen to lose.
Kind of illustrates how impotent and useless the "resistance" is I live in MA far as I can tell, my state legislators are not doing all they can to stop/slow Trump and ICE so, to fight Trump, my personal goal is a primary campaign to unseat MA state senator @cindycreem.bsky.social
They canβt admit they made a mistake.
So much for the spirit or letter of the law.
πππππ πππππ Glory to whoever rescues Kilmar Abrego Garcia, either here or from Uganda! βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ
Maga will burn in hell
And all so Kristi Noem can feed her fantasy of being the first female president.
Real governance is hard, and this administration needs to distract from their own crimes, so they're wasting our money and torturing immigrants while our own economy and infrastructure suffers. Are we cool with that?
Ditto!
Fuck these Nazis.
Its political persecution.
I swear to god I hate the current administration so much. Noem is a piece of shit, plain and simple.
Maybe he has the epstein files?
My reaction exactly and a great example of their uselessness.

When an unhinged attack dog is the highest prosecutor in Trumplandia.
The Democrats should have used every resource at their disposal to get him out of the country safely to a place where he could seek asylum from the USA.
I donβt understand how the govt can deny him due process and just get away with it. Why canβt the courts step in and put a stop to this, even if it means citing DHS officials for contempt? Why?
The majority of the Supreme Court Justices are corrupt, racists, sexists, spineless and godless as their Orange King and MAGA lords. It's terribly sad!
I was glad to see that earlier today, a judge (Paula Xinis) extended a temporary restraining order and forbid the govt from deporting Garcia. Itβs temporary, but was an important move in restoring his rights. www.newsweek.com/trump-admini...
bsky.app/profile/kyle...
I would contribute to a fund to get him the hell out of America and get him to Canada where he could be safe. Every time I see his face my heart breaks I cannot imagine being the target of these rageful man children like this.
I'm so glad Biden's Justice Dept, etc went to such pains to not appear political in going after the scumbags from Trump first term & Jan 6. Clearly not a total mistake.
Nazi corruption of Germany caused WW2. This movie #DontBeASucker was filmed by the US Army to educate and protect US citizens from those same tactics here at home. Now, in 2025 we have POTUS, Speaker, AG & their minions manipulating us with Nazi tactics #ProtectTheConstitutionπΊπΈ youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4
This is obviously a distraction tactic against the Epstein file release, causing the extreme focus on one individual, to the extent of fabricating "charges" against him. There are CRIMINALS in the country who ACTUALLY NEED to be apprehended and deported, but that takes a CONSTITUTIONAL legal system.
Completely average construction worker, throw a stone on a building site and you'd hit 3 guys like him.
Honest question: WHY are we shipping any humans to Uganda?
How is it Constitutional to demand a man plead guilty to horrible crimes or be sent to a place that is dangerous and likely to just send him back to El Salvador against US Judicial rulings? I have NEVER been more ashamed of the USA in my 6 decades here.
I don't understand how the courts are allowing this shit.
They have not been asked to rule on this yet.
Thanks, I clearly need to read up a little more. I must have misunderstood the status of his case. I thought he was indicted with court appearances pending. Plus it's been quiet in the news about him in general. Until now, anyway.
The deal they offered him is plead guilty, do jail time here for crime you claim you did not commit and then get deported to Costa Rica, if you refuse to plead guilty we will just deport you to Uganda who is likely to send him back to El Salvador. This just happened so not argued in court yet.
Jesus Christ. These people are evil.
It's not that they are allowing it, it's just that they move a lot slower than the thugs with guns and planes move.
True. Why the fuck won't they fast track these cases given what's happening? It's so frustrating.
Exactly. It is unconstitutional but trump and his mouth breathing minions donβt care.
I will never give up, and will always call for lawsuits and protests but I also no longer think Trump has any limits on what he thinks he can do.
He obviously doesn't he was given free reign by a crooked Supreme Court and is using it to take over America yall fked up by sitting on your asses at voting time best hope your not next on his list
Excuse me but describing the USA as a monolithic unit makes you look unintelligent.
I didnβt vote for any of this.
He doesn't. A perfect candidate for a dictator - vain, corrupt, deranged, arrogant and without a dose of empathy. It is still shocking how quickly USA is following the authoritarian manual and even exceeded it - occupying your own capital is something which doesn't happen.
Well it does Russia North Korea Venezuela etc your on the edge of the cliff America
Weβre already halfway down the face.
Are you in the UK? Maybe look at what is happening there bro
Actually im in Canada the real land of the free which America should not be allowed to use as a slogan as its now the land of the detained
would love if a journalist could find out how much and never stop bringing up how much money this administration is wasting on a daily basis
The #Drumpfenreich must be destroyed.
Yes. I was saying this yesterday. They canβt quit him.
Why would they deport him to Uganda when he's literally from a completely different country altogether?
Despicable
All for Dear Toddler's petty revenge.
his real crime, at this point, was making Trump look bad
Yep. He embarrassed them. They swore up and down that they would never allow him back in this country, and that even if they wanted to allow it, it would be impossible to do. We see how that turned out.
A cautionary tale for EVERYONE.
The lesson we have to take from this: We have to remove Trump and all the authoritarian heels who have attached to him from power, and be vigilant about keeping them out permanently. The lesson they want us to take from it: be afraid of ever crossing them. We have to refuse to be intimidated.
Remember that Trump showed those doctored photos of his knuckles with "gang tattoos" because he is a stupid, old ass, racist idiot with zero morals, nor critical thinking skills.
He's an eye witness to crimes that should put Trump, Noem, Rubio and everyone else involved in prison for over a 1000 years. They're making an example of him.
As a fellow Marylander, outrage is an understatement. The emotional, physical, and financial duress put on this family is abhorrent.
just to prove the didnβt make a mistake in the first place.
nazis doing nazi shit
Maybe there's something wrong with your premise.
The GOP: cruelty, spite and lack of shame.
In the Great Reckoning that - in my dreams - follows this era, I think justice demands that the architects of these atrocities be renditioned to random shithole countries. For Stephen Miller, I'm thinking Somalia, but maybe others have a better idea.
Uranus. It's a hole.
Itβs senseless cruelty and criminal behavior. These people must be stopped!
quick - since he's in custody, check his knuckles for "MS13"!!
We should be sure to spend at least an equivalent amount of time torturing them after this is all over. The Tribunals should be specifically cruel to ICE and DHS employees. Especially cruel. Horrifying things. Things from Saw movies. Things Edward the Confessor or Henry VIII did.
It's to strike fear in to everyone else.
They have got to be absolutely miserable to act this way. So weak-minded.
Arrest trump and his cabinet
All to never admit they fucked up.
Probably approaching what he spends on playing golf, and that would pay many many salaries. The time and resources of so much government though...
I haven't seen Republicans so focused on one person since a trans kid tried to play little league.
All republican voters do is complain about not having enough money while simultaneously electing the most wasteful pieces of human garbage imaginable.
Do not under any circumstances give attention to the ghouls cheering on r/conservatives if you wish to retain any shred of faith in humanity. racist monsters are ready to make ovens great again.
Oh the comments on any story about him is about 2/3 people expressing outrage and sympathy, and 1/3 full on sadistic glee from bigots
it is the absolute pit of hell in red-pilled spaces.
Its not safe to live in America unless you are rich white dude.
They have to deport Mr. Garcia. He has become a symbol of hope to other immigrants - he's assuaging their fears. If he were to win and be allowed to stay in the US, other immigrants would follow suit (which they should do, regardless). He's a threat to this regime.
It's because awful people cannot ever admit error
Are you fucking kidding me? This is why I canβt stand opening my phone. It would be different if you knew there was some way of preventing these atrocities from happening but it just leaves you to sit with fury. Damn this is just disgusting. βπ¨π¦
Cruel and unusual.
They need to make an example out of a few people to scare the shit out of everyone else.
Now he is going to end up in Uganda? This is not just unconstitutional and malicious. It is also super weird. America is really changing into an autocratic regime
The anti-Matt Damon
Serious question here: Why him and what for?
Kilmarβs arrest is ethnic cleansing in a suit & tie. They spit on the law outright. This regime has weaponized bureaucracy into a deportation death machine, targeting dissenters and brown bodies with Nazi precision. Call it what it is: fascist cleansing, dressed up as immigration policy.
Too bad the orange monster isn't deported to Uganda. The world would rejoice (except Uganda of course)
Literally, just a guy with a wife and kids from Baltimore.
This can't happen? WTF?
There is no conceivable reason, legal or illegal, for DHS to make this move. Absolute cruelty is ALL this is about and serves to make DHS and ICE lose all credibility.
Our taxpayer dollars, the ones not funding healthcare or any of the other things itβs meant for.
Maybe Noem could point to Uganda on a map. Or even Buffalo, NY
And didn't they release a truly bad guy to be a witness against him?
Waste, fraud, and abuse all in one - the trifecta from this abomination of an administration
Itβs not about punishing him. Itβs about diverting from the actual truth of their stupidity
Pedophile NAZI Trump's children will pay for this.
π
All because he had the unmitigated gall not to be a member of MS-13.
Itβs all fragile little man-baby Stephen Miller.
Weβll get a judge to stop it that is the only solution
They just can't admit they made a mistake
Heβs to be made an example of for the crime of being inconvenient and embarrassing.
"Stop fighting back!" The motto of white supremacists everywhere -- especially the Orange Pendejo.
This is heinous. A pox on all their houses. The wheels of justice have ground to a halt in the US. No longer the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Politicized DOJ in action
Step it up Democratic leadership !!!!
On what charge?
The charge of making Trump look bad.
I can't help but wonder how is any of this sustainable long-term? The amount of money they must have spent on this over the past few months alone must be huge. Even all the cuts don't seem enough.
Waste, fraud, & abuse. Thatβs what theyβve allocated an insanely large amount of money to commit.
WTF is wrong with these people. They are not showing us strength, they are looking like what they are out of control, stupid, losers.
Not until you get a court order! Are we skipping due process again? Fuck Pam Bondi, Kristy Noem, Tom Hardman, and every ICE Gestapo Agent involved in this travesty of justice! The time will come when it's you on the docket and even though you don't deserve it, you'll get due process.
Part of how they operate: make examples of how far they'd go to get one person, so people see, they could do that to anyone. Attempts to use fear to suppress resistance.
#IFoundSomeGovWaste
Racism has no spending cap for this shit show administration
All of this is an affront to the First Amendment. The fact that someone in the government can get a bug up their ass over one person and spend all this time and effort to make their life a living hell is chilling.
This is all Miller. The Nazi vampire canβt have an Hispanic man defeat him. Itβs no surprise his family has written him off for his evil actions.
One random guy to make an example of. Itβs obscene.
There is no amount of taxpayer money they wonβt spend to triple down on cruelty and simply being soulless assholes.
Makes me sick to my stomach to see how they are persecuting this man and all the others who are being swept up in these inhumane raids
They just made him a martyr.
Jolly roach gregars samsa woke in horror one morning finding himself human.
Inefficient evil
I'm sure that it would house at least 1 homeless person for a year. But then it's not really about: Immigrants The homeless The poor The middle class Price of Eggs America will never be ALL white again because it NEVER was.
