Re: U.S. CECOT detainees, the main q is NOT 'did they ever allegedly commit a crime?' Rather: Is the US allowed to deliver them into lifetime imprisonment in a notorious Salvadoran prison camp without charge, trial, sentencing, or consideration of international/asylum/anti-torture law? Clearly no!

“The best part of this was realizing how much support there actually is in my town. I had no idea.” That’s the magic of showing up. You helped people feel less alone in places where they’ve felt isolated for far too long.

Is the “what he actually said” version of the model being suppressed or like, wut. is. happening?

How can the financial world be “caught off guard”? This wasn’t hidden in an obscure document. Trump sat onstage with the Bloomberg News guy and said all this out loud. 60% tariff on China and 20% across the board. We all saw him say it! How does your model not have a “what he actually said” version?

The Democrats need to have somebody that is ready to go in front of the cameras and explain to the American people what is going on and how the Democrats can fix it. Like I said, every day that passes is another day closer to 2026. The Dems need to present a coherent alternative now! 5/x

Counterpoint to my previous thought - in a weird way I think we lend T***p power when we are surprised by his actions inasmuch as the usual human response to surprise is to assimilate the Surprising into the New Normal. So maybe the move isn’t shock but rather outright rejection/dismissal

Can’t stop thinking about George Bailey saying “Potter isn’t selling, Potter’s buying! And why? Because we’re panicky and he’s not” WHO is gonna be the George Bailey of the moment & say yo ’merica we *think* we don’t have options BUT WE DO Y’ALL. We don’t have to unwittingly give power to despots!!

I dreamed terrible things were happening, that I didn’t know what to do about any of them A woman sat in front of me, calm, like an apparition drinking tea as chaos abounded “If you think the story of reality is too hard,” she said, “you’re being called to change it”

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

Remember. It’s never: We fight for (these people) because maybe we’re more at risk if we don’t. No more Niemölling. We fight because they are coming for anyone. Every single person matters. Each and every human being’s life and safety is worth the fight.

Today in Salt Lake City, Utah. Didn’t know what to expect when I got there not long after it started. I could hear the crowd roaring from a long way away. “We are the people.” Other chants: “Deport Elon Musk” I’ll post more videos and photos in comments below. #protests #50states
