Trump could declare himself President-for-Life, announce that the Constitution is inoperative in its entirety, and begin mass public executions of all Democrats, and every news story about the subsequent court case would have to include the phrase "Justices Thomas and Alito dissented"

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.
