Why aren’t lawyers suing the government for not giving due process to the many immigrants that are deported to god knows where? The DHS are clearly committing crimes by deporting immigrants. This is so horrible! I wonder how many and how in the hell DHS gets away with this!
Our only option is to resist, that means their is risk, danger, discomfort, but so did that group of men at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Jul 4, 1776 and before that. the Boston Tea Party, Battle of Breeds hill, Lexington and Concord. These people, the revolution could never had succeeded were it not for the women, had the backbone and will to take risks and suffer discomfort.
Not the case with the present generations. They feel impoverished and put upon without cell service.
Does this mean that Vivik Ramaswamy, Kash Patel, Tim Scott, Nimarata Haley, Bobby Jindahl, Herschel Walker, Kanye West. Byron Donalds , Clarence Thomas, ascendancy is temporary.
Or if you get on the right side of the massah, you can sit with him by the fireplace and sip brandy.
If the state constitutions mirror the 4th, 5th, and 13th amendments, then Miller and everyone down the chain of command, down to the street level could be charged with state crimes and trump can put his pardons where the sun don’t shine!
“When this regime has been relegated to the dustbin of history, we’ll have a hell of a big job reestablishing this country’s once-vaunted embrace of human rights. There will have to be either full-on trials or something like the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission.” The actions of this regime are just hunky-dory with SCOTUS and the Repugnican Party, and history suggests we can’t rely on the corporate establishment Democratic Party to attend to its responsibilities, nor on the legacy media to attend to its. Holding elected feet to the fire must be a priority. Yet another round of dereliction could prove fatal to democracy.
We are going to have one hell of a huge rebuilding job once these monsters are gone from the scene. I don't know if I'll be around to see it-I'm 73 now-but I hope to live long enough to see them gone for good.
An easy way to validate American cruelty to people of color is to look at how the White world is responding to Ebola in Africa right now. How many people in your circle even know there is an Ebola epidemic in the Democratic Republic of the Congo where the death toll has already exceeded 2,000. Trump & Musk both heartlessly DOGEd USAID.
Trump's history of racism is not remotely a secret. Start with his $85K he paid for Central Park Five ads in all NYC papers in 1989 demanding the death penalty for 5 minority teens later found to be innocent of the rape in question.
Trump’s saboDOGE of the country and many parts of the world continue. T’s eCONomy IS CORRUPTION and Musk’s T-shirt “Tech Support” means “WRECK SUPPORT”.
Trump and MAGA's racism is compartmentalized. There are a lot of Indians, blacks and Hispanics in the cult regime and cult, not to mention the Muslims that voted for him or Jill Stein.

This is so very wrong - where is the compassion, religion, laws and empathy? If I feel for the horror of these people being victimized and tortured, I cry.
These people are, as Thom characterizes them, monsters. No decency, no kindness, no empathy. It's horrible. I'm elderly and largely housebound, so all I can do is pray.
As a small step keep using the phrase "ICE concentration camps". People don't like hearing that term as they get it confused with the Nazi extermination camps, but the basic concept of forcing civilians into guarded areas is much older than that. The Spanish in 1870s Cuba, followed by the Americans in the Philippines and the British during the Boer War did it on a big scale. In those cases the death of the incarcerated was secondary to holding large numbers of non-combatants. When we reframe what this government is doing it goes beyond dragging people off the streets and emphasizes organized policies to mistreat, dehumanize and hide them.
Frankly, from where I sit, I was unaware the "the monsters" of the US ever tore down a "World Where Dark-Skinned Humans Don’t Count." So I don't know why it would require rebuilding. Perhaps it just needs a bigger ballroom.
This is one of Thom's best reports of so many. We can't allow this mistreatment and killing of human beings due to race or any other reason to continue.
Trumpublicans regard the United States as their own private country club, and happily deny membership to anyone not of their race, income, sexual predation, or supposed religion. Given the powers of law, they exact the most brutal revenge; given the powers of war, they carry out stark terrorism to end all terrorism.
Clarence Thomas, Vivek Ramaswamy, Nimrat Haley, Herschel Walker, Tim Scott, Kash Patel refute that statement. As to why they are accepted, that is another matter I have discussed elsewheres
Deportation is human trafficking. It is a block chain business for Tempertantrump. The business is money laundering. The government funds the corporations and they, in return, fund the “Republican” /NAZI politicians, who secure forever tax paying funds.
The only "persons" who matter in MAGA world are corporations. Which are, of course, persons according to SCOTUS based on a mistaken, corrupt ruling by a corrupt SCOTUS in the 19th century. The only "good" thing about that is that maybe, like too many actual humans, these artificial creations can be "executed", by revoking their charters. Won't happen, of course.
We who view ourselves as the real Americans may be able to regain control of the machinery of government for a time, but the rot of MAGA is in many ways irreparable. Too many of its adherents are young, insecure males who will be around defiling our values for decades. And in the world at large, our word is now worthless. Just like our treaties with Native American tribes were. I don't see us ever recovering from that, because given our system, another creature like the flatulent faux orange felon in chief could be just around the bend. Why would anyone outside in the world choose to rely on us?
Still, despite my absent hope, we have to try to make November a clarion call. If that fails, we will only have one alternative, and it will mark our end. Our youngest child and grandson are already charting out how they might be able to emigrate to New Zealand. They know it will be hard. But it is wise for them to plan that. I imagine many others are doing similar things.
What can the average person do now to help stop this now???
It doesn't feel like voting does a whole lot, does it, Sally?
Not voting is surrender.

Illinois and some other states are legalizing going after ICE for human rights violations.
Wonderful! See what ICE is up to now:
https://www.404media.co/?ref=daily-stories-newsletter
I looked up if saturated electric gloves could shock the ICE agent wearing them. Yes.
Is it a crime to stand near an ICE agent with a bucket of water. No, unless you use it on the ICE agent.
AI makes mistakes, so not 100% sure about this information.
I got this via 404 Media. I wouldn't put it past them.
I also found this on 404 Media:

I am up on both the epidemic in the DRC and of Trump's long history of hatred of people of colour.

Absolutely!
Rhe NAZI's had the example, and used it of Britain in South Africa during the Boer Wars, conditions were horrible,
Frankly, from where I sit, I was unaware the "the monsters" of the US ever tore down a "World Where Dark-Skinned Humans Don’t Count." So I don't know why it would require rebuilding. Perhaps it just needs a bigger ballroom.
A favorite quote from the late Dr. Paul Farmer; “The idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that is wrong with the world.”
Sublime, mate.

This is monstrous.
You ain't seen NOTHIN' yet! ICE is buying electric shock gloves to incapacitate their victims from the get-go. These people are utterly evil.
https://www.404media.co/?ref=daily-stories-newsletter
I've seen evil from the US government before, but this administration is rapidly outdoing all of the previous evil.

I saw that. 404 Media is a good source. Quite disturbing to say the least.
Deportation is human trafficking. It is a block chain business for Tempertantrump. The business is money laundering. The government funds the corporations and they, in return, fund the “Republican” /NAZI politicians, who secure forever tax paying funds.
So here is the ass-inine (not a typo) vile Orange Doofus and Miller's plan.
Face off with:
India: ~1.48 billion people
China: ~1.41 billion people
Total 2,89 Billion DARKSKINNED Others
USA White's (including Hispanic Whites): ~254 million
Makes sense.

Anyone who can be made to believe an absurdity can be made to commit an atrocity. Sounds like an ICE recruiting poster.
Thank you, Napoleon.
