Totally agree with this. Flying a person to a third country that they may never have been to, directly into a prison where they are going to be forced to do hard labor, is not a deportation; it's something else entirely.
@washingtonpost.com They were not DEPORTED. Deported means sending them back to their country of origin. These people were sent to a maximum security prison in El Salvador, without any due process or any analysis as to whether they feared harm in El Salvador!
In America, EVERYONE has a RIGHT to due process - regardless of immigration status. It’s fundamental to our Constitution.
Deporting hundreds of people in secret by invoking a wartime proclamation is a blatant abuse of power by President Trump.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too?

My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.
My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.
I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

Every time I see the still shot of Trump with Zelensky in that mockery of a meeting, the overwhelming urge to chop his stupid jazz hands off from the wrist befalls me.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

Billionaires became billionaires by exploiting people—not by caring about people.
So when billionaires work to dismantle CFPB, USAID, NIH, CDC, & social welfare in general, it's because all they know how to do is exploit.
That's who they are. Stop trusting them. Start taxing them out of existence.

It’s too bad the cost of eggs is so high. It would be so therapeutic to have a carton on deck to throw at cybertrucks in the wild 🤷🏻♀️
