How many more people will be sent to "El Salvador" before we take to the streets?

“El Salvador” is the new “disappeared.”

Trump‘s attorneys are telling the judges they don’t 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 don’t have answers, but I just had to put the thought down that was rattling around in my head.

This is a dominant culture fight. When its the dominant culture - that's when folks will lose their minds.

According to one source I read, last week’s 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 trump’s 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.

I really don't know what it will take to make a difference.
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.

It will take perserverance. Change is not instant.

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

Get rid of those 6 and the next 6 might take the job seriously.

… 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 everyone’s 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.

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 don’t get cable tv, not to worry — her MSNBC program gets put up on YouTube.

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.

said they can deport US citizens before the courts can act. Are you OK with that?
