If they aren’t stopped, people are gonna start limiting their comments out of fear for themselves and for strangers. Goddamned

fascists and Nazis.

This SCOTUS decision was divided between the men and the women. I remember in psychology classes when we studied Carol Gilligan’s theory of moral development and the different criteria women vs men use to decide ethical and moral issues. I find the imprisonment of these men to be horrific. But apparently, others seem to think “oh well. They got what’s coming to them.”

The punishing inhumanity gives me chills. That these men cannot even communicate with anyone outside the prison is simply horrific. And done in our name.

CECOT in El Salvador is NOT the new Guantanamo, it is the NEW AUSCHWITZ! Who will be disappeared there next? When will the first women and children be sent there or have they already be sent? If records are being deleted when people get on the plane, then how do you know that they are not already there? How much is the US government paying CECOT to take these deportees?

I guess they figured out they don’t have to build concentration camps after all. Lawless Central American countries are happy to take Trumps money. How much are we actually paying El Salvador to basically help exterminate innocent people? El Salvador should read the memo that everything Trump touches dies. Theirs is coming.

The justice system is not set up to handle fixing the harms that happen while the court slowly grinds. They seem to ignore the simple parts, like

-- Frump disqualified himself for office with J6, and again when he pardoned J6ers

-- Frump declared a fake emergency so he could play with tariffs

-- Frump doesn't have authority to create a Department

-- Frump broke the law by firing Inspectors General

-- Frump broke the law by impounding funds

-- Frump is breaking the law and Constitution with executive orders, which is opposite of his job description and oath, so that should qualify as misdemeanors at least, for impeachment

-- Frump broke the Emoluments Clause (again)

I'd say, rather, that it's the new Auschwitz. It follows the plan almost exactly, including the parts we don't yet know about.

Hitler started the camps outside Germany as well, if I remember correctly.

Absolutely. Most of them were in Poland.

That was what I thought. Keeping them close, but still out of sight, as the tangerine toddler is doing here.

This is at least a bit encouraging, but what about the people that are already incarcerated in El Salvador? Is there nothing that can be done to get the innocent people back here to at least have hearings???

One thing I have not seen reported anywhere, is what is it costing taxpayers to house those imprisoned in El Salvador? I had seen that Guantanamo was costing $17,000 per person per week.

The market today will adsorb the Chinese tariff addition. A total of 84% on U.S. goods and agriculture. One good thing, there is plenty of room for our stock market to fall. And don’t forget to think about the cruelty from 5 men on the Supreme Court. If my brother were in that El Salvadoran prison, I don’t see how 5 men could still be on the court. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/cruel-capriciously-smelly-supreme?r=3m1bs
