Thank you for this. I feel so helpless. I will be at the next protest with Kilmar Abrego Garcia's name on my sign but it feels futile. What else can we do?
I am equal parts infuriated, scared and grieving for humanity.
Don’t give in to that feeling - it is not fact. The fascists are the minority and they’re trying to scare us into thinking otherwise, SO THAT WE WILL GIVE UP. Don’t let them. :)
You read my mind! Just thinking the same thing when I saw the video. Two sociopaths passing the buck and neither mentioned a mistake or Garcia's innocence. It's not just the two people who are innocent who need to be sent back. It was bad enough to have CIA with black ops sites but a President who is sending people to a concentration camp in another country without due process! Looks like the two dictators are just going to ignore the innocent. If they caught them, they are guilty. All of them, every single one, need to be sent back to the US.
And, more infuriating, Americans who think this is OK. I get that the guilty ones are really bad guys who did terrible things. Our Constitution states we will have no cruel or unusual punishment. Trump is shitting on the Constitution again.
CeCot is defacto cruel and unusual. There is not even any darkness allowed for sleep. Lights are on 24/7. 2 "toilets" for 70 or more men. One large basin of water for cleaning themselves. Sleeping on metal beds. No visitors ever so their family members are also punished. These men are walking dead. They are not prisoners. They are being tortured 24/7. Anyone who thinks this is OK is just a sadistic MFr.
Bukele is some piece of work. Have you seen the collar on the shirt he sometimes wears with a sword on either side of an eagle? He always appears so cool, so calm, so quiet and unassuming and he smiles so much, but those eyes are dead. Well, now we know what he is actually doing behind closed doors.
The people who are in CeCot are living the worst possible 24/7 reality, and we have to get the ones that USA sent there back by exercising our First Amendment right to protest loudly and continuously. This is NOT OK.
Absolutely. This is the crossing of the Rubicon for what's left of our Democratic-Republic. I hope April 19 is another BIG protest event that shines a light on these horrible trends.
OT: Hey Jim & Subscribers, heads up -
At some point in the last few days, Jim’s articles stopped appearing in my Subscriptions feed. Is anyone else experiencing this?
I stumbled across a clip of Rudolf Hess doing the same double nazi salute, as Musk did at the inauguration.
Look on YT for “You don’t know Hitler” (2006) at 14 m 30s

Thanks for continuing to shine the light on the madness, the lawlessness, the crimes against humanity. You are a great American and humanitarian.
