El Salvador is the new disappeared.
Trumps attorneys are telling the judges they dont know where people are. The regime is not complying with orders to return apprehendees.
There, but for the grace of God go any of us. It cannot be legal to be shipping US citizens to a foreign country. I know we are being deluged with atrocities left and right, but this assault deserves much more attention than it is getting.
Of course I dont have answers, but I just had to put the thought down that was rattling around in my head.

(100,132 posts)According to one source I read, last weeks rallies got 5.5 million Americans outdoors to protest. (I was one, and hope you were too)
According to my gut-level feelings, though, starting from trumps first term I gained more understanding of the good Germans than I had before. Terror. Keep your head down and maybe you and your family will survive.
See you on the hustings.

What I do know that as long the Republicans in Congress and the Courts stay in complete fealty to him, nothing will stop him until 2027. And then only if we retake the House or Senate.

Or, you can stay home on your duff and say "it won't work".

Like I said, unless any Republicans turn, nothing will happen until the next election.

with Indivisible, Hands Off, your local Dems, and others, for notices of rallies and marches.
Make your signs in advance cardboard from boxes is free, and Magic Markers are in everyones kitchen drawer. Ideas for signs get posted at DU frequently or write your own about what is on your mind.
See you on the hustings.

(100,132 posts)She covers the phone-in campaigns that Indivisible orchestrates, and results.
Her Monday program openings are especially good, as they cover weekend activities. If you dont get cable tv, not to worry her MSNBC program gets put up on YouTube.

(13,732 posts)At some point we need to fight back with real law enforcement that ensures residents are given proper due process before extradition. The use of masked, plainclothes agents is totally unacceptable and those "agents" should have been doxed and stopped in their tracks! Localized law enforcement might aid such efforts, but they should also monitor, track, report, and if necessary, arrest bad actors.
