Summary
The Trump administration is continuing to seemingly do everything it can to avoid securing the safe return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, wrongly deported to El Salvador last month due to an “administrative error.”
A senior State Department official signed a declaration swearing Abrego Garcia is “detained pursuant to the sovereign, domestic authority of El Salvador.”
Trump posted a message that confirms the U.S. is essentially wiping its hands of anyone deported: “These barbarians are now in the sole custody of El Salvador…and their future is up to President B and his Government.”
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the Trump administration must take steps to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return.
Ok, NOW are we in enough of a constitutional crisis to start getting upset??? I really feel like this is the incident that needs to be the breaking point.

And even then as long as the first people they start gassing were accused of crimes at some point then you’re good
Not crimes, “terrorism.” Crimes have to be proven in court, but terrorism can be denied due process, so it doesnt have to be proven, just “designated.”
Protest at a Tesla dealer? Terrorism, no trial. Write a post encouraging people to protest? Terrorism, no trial. Complain about ignoring SCOTUS rulings? Terrorism, no trial. Registered Democrat? The Democratuc party has been declared a Terrorist organization for supporting protests, all Democrats are Terrorists, no trial.
It’s already happening…
(But hey I mean they were no angels right? /s)
You gotta wait until they start using zyklon on seraphim. And even then they were armed.
At which point, people will be asking why nothing was done before that point
Mahmoud Khalil should’ve been the breaking point. Anyone didn’t understand the urgency of the matter then is gonna reenact that one poem or be dragged screaming and kicking into reality.
Mario Savio was speaking on terms of labor, but his “Bodies upon the gears speech” is extremely relevant, particularly the end.
We have 5m people connected through protest. Arresting and deporting legal migrants is kiddnapping. Witholding international passports is violence. Skipping due process, kidnapping, and illegally imprisoning a US citizen, then refusing to fix it, is violence.
I physically cannot fight. I pass out simply standing or walking too long. Of course I have a kid to protect too. There are plenty of people who have little to no benefit to an armed resistance in force.
But we all have a part to play. They are not fighting fair, and nor should we. History has shown that guerilla resistance is absurdly effective against government lower. Ukraine. Syria. Iraq. Afghanistan, Vietnam.
Fascists are idiots, and inefficient. They are focused on the in group so much they make themselves vulnerable. We have technology that hasnt existed before. Chemists, 3d printers. Open Source software. It doesn’t have to be guns blazing and explosives.
Nope.
Rape, insurrection, treason and fraud aren’t enough.
Why would laughing at SCOTUS be a tipping point?
Also everyone laughs or sneers or grimaces at SCOTUS these days.
The only people who take it seriously are the professionals in law who have so much sunk cost they cannot break away
Treason always comes first.
We’re already broken
It’s only fascism when it happens in Europe. Otherwise it’s sparkling authoritarianism.
yes we hit that point 3 months ago.
They’re just getting started. It’s going to get a lot worse.
