It’s interesting that the administration wants you to know that Bari Weiss is in league with them.

It's pretty fucking fearless to go back and do your goddamn oversight visit where they last framed you for assault.

It's actually worse. The Supreme Court has held 9-0 -- Clarence Thomas and other executive power fanatics included -- that detainees rendered to another country via the Alien Enemies Act are entitled to a pre-deportation hearing. There is no legal debate whatsoever.
Belatedly, this line from Weiss' memo is...something
Let's get someone who says banishing to CECOT was legit, she says
Here's the thing: There's a consensus among legal experts that *wasn't* legit
You can find someone who says moon is made outta Fluffernutter. Doesn't mean you should quote 'em

🗣️ We are here to demand justice for Mr. Brutus and that Delaney Hall is SHUT DOWN. Deaths like Mr. Brutus’ are preventable — but the federal agenda and their private prison accomplices put profits over people at the expense of OUR OWN communities.

This is one of the hardest truths history teaches us.
Atrocities are not only carried out by monsters.
They are carried out by ordinary people who are told they are righteous, superior, or “just following orders.”
The danger happens when neighbors stop seeing one another as human.

“We need to be able to get the principals on the record” doesn’t apply to Levi’s, Smith College or Washington University.
What’s more troubling is that Weiss apparently didn’t even try to get the other side. If she had and they refused to talk, that’d be in the stories
