WTF has this man done to be so targeted by ICE, on orders from #47? The idiots at HHS, want us to forget he was illegally deported by them the first time. It appears it's a coverup of their incompetence!

Feds fucked up, and in the tRump tradition, no apologies or retractions, just disappear their mistake...the game plan all along.

sigh, poor Abrego Garcia could make a good credible fear case over staying in the US.

Amongst other character flaws our beloved fuhrer’s blessed with is a psychotic infantilism. Now he’s so upset that anyone dares tell him, our godfather, that he can’t legally deport Kilmer. So of course the shit he’s pulling and, more likely than not, will get away with.

As for his voting EO, anyone who assumes that there won’t be a shitload of Republican secretaries of state and other R election officials who take it as an order from the top…

Then again, this is a nation so decadent and dysfunctional that we have establishment media uniformly cool with Trump’s lawlessness and numerous other failures of character and leadership as well as an electorate of which ~70% of voters were cool with his being returned to power last November.

Surely KAG's legal team have filed a habeas petition in federal court this a.m. to prevent a blatant snatch-and-deport move by ICE...the lawyers had plenty of notice as to the feds' intent, and a TRO must be granted.

And the habeas writ has just been filed, with an addendum stating that KAG's preferred destination for deportation is Costa Rica.

Trump is the poster boy for vengefulness. A weird amalgamation of Fourth Reich Führer and 1980s style mafiosa boss. Nothing he does anymore surprises me. But his seemingly effortless conversion of our country to an autocracy in only seven months is truly dismaying. I never guessed our democracy was so fragile or our politicians so feckless.

Forced deportations to remote (from country of origin) and/or otherwise problematic third countries is cruel and immoral. Shame on the SCOTUS "justices" who gave the okay to that option.

There is always a humane alternative: return them to their home country, or, if that would put them at risk, to a safe and stable third country.

This corrupted and inhumane process is being driven by the sadistic Stephen Miller and others of his ilk in the administration.

Anybody know anyone in Uganda!? This poor guy deserves to be safely extracted if they send him there. And then relocate him and his family in another country of choice! So wrong.

Workers Labor Day 2025

organized by AFL CIO

https://workerslaborday.org/

JOIN THE DEMOCRACY TRAIN.

🚂🇨🇦🇬🇧🇫🇷🇯🇵🇦🇺🇩🇪🇺🇦🇸🇳🇳🇱🇰🇷🇵🇱🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇻🇦

The AFL CIO protest has a slight slant towards worker's rights, while the MayDay protest leans more into civilian rights. Each speaks out against the Trump Regime.

Both have marches and rallies, while the AFL CIO is also hosting picnics and parades. They each share some of the same local events. Why not attend both?

🍃"It was 1999, and a series of events - orchestrated and exploited by Russia’s security services - secured Vladimir Putin’s rise to power."

🍃"Behind the scenes, Boris Berezovsky and Yeltsin’s inner circle - known as 'the Family' - were maneuvering to install Putin as their protector, quietly backed by the FSB, to shield them from prosecution and preserve their stolen fortunes."

🍃"Trump wants to be like Putin, and his words and actions on elections show him actively seeking ways to rig the process... He is building a surveillance state, chilling free speech, and weaponizing federal agencies to enforce his corrupt and extremist agenda. Each step mirrors the Kremlin playbook."

There will be continuous distractions to try to drag eyeballs away from the Epstein chasm. This is just the most convenient one right now. There will be a continuous stream of these. He understands how the media - social and asocial - work. He knows we will get dragged into these sideshows.

He should go back to 1989 & stay there. Let Ivana deal with him.

How does Kilmer Abrego Garcia afford attorneys? He apparently has more than one. He has kids and no visible means of support outside of, perhaps, his wife’s job. How did he even connect with attorneys?
