Litman: The irony of this just spillth over—because the Biden administration was subject to nationwide injunction after nationwide injunction in cases that didn’t warrant it. And they asked the Supreme Court, “Guys, can you do something about this?” The Republican justices declined to do so.

I think this is a brilliant framing of this issue. If the government can send people to a third world country to a lifetime of involuntary servitude, that is slavery. Query whether this meets the “jurisdiction” requirement of the 13th Amendment (the officials sending them are!)
Trump told America he had a deal with far-right El Salvadoran dictator Nayib Bukele to temporary hold U.S. deportees for a fee.
Now we know that was a lie.
Trump told Bukele he'd _sell_ him bodies to _own_—to be housed in his massive prison (CECOT) until death.
America is back in the slave trade.

If you’re continuously stunned by the behavior of gerrymandered GOP representatives in the world of Citizens United, don’t be.
Here’s how to think of them:
They are no longer public servants.
Improving public outcomes is not their goal. Nor do they do better in life…

He’s tanking the economy, destroying our standing in the world, depriving women and LGBTQ communities of their fundamental rights, attacking the environment, disappearing legal immigrants, gutting Veteran’s benefits and Social Security. And he’s making you pay for his golf trips while he’s at it.

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections."
Each defendant assaulted him.
