If the U.S. government can now jail people in foreign prisons without any due process whatsoever, how is any American safe?
There’s no public safety rationale for deporting criminals and gang members without a hearing to prove that they are who the government says they are.

Understand that this El Salvador gulag deportation was done partly in order to make the fascist video that the president now transmits, with his fascist message. The cameras are all set up in advance.
Biden hält an den visuellen Konventionen demokratischer Repräsentation fest und normalisiert damit seinen Nachfolger, der demokratische Prinzipien aktiv untergräbt. Ein verstörendes Signal.

The @nytimes covered Trump’s "gig" at McDonald's in at least seven articles but missed this photo by Bucks County Herald freelance photographer Sara Pinkus.
Pinkus, a retired bank manager who describes herself as a “photo enthusiast,” made the most telling image of the day.

"As pressures increase and the risk of Earth's climate system switching to a catastrophic state rises, more and more scientists have begun to research the possibility of societal collapse."

#KamalaHarrisForward I believe VP Kamala Harris and her VP pick Tim Walz are our best chance to move forward. They are our best chance to push back on encroaching fascism and threats to democracy, and our best chance for creating the world we all desire and deserve. Politics is messy... but messy is no excuse for checking out. Messy is the work and the work can be joyful. Messy is what it takes to get through the daunting mess in pursuit of a better future. But we only win if we show up.

Donald Trump falsely claims on Truth Social that Kamala Harris' campaign "faked" the size of her crowd at Detroit Metropolitan Airport, saying that "there was nobody there".
The crowd at the airport in Detroit was very real, as numerous videos and images from the rally prove.
