damn...

"Justice Sotomayor saw it. She warned in her separate opinion that the government’s argument — if left unchecked — could allow any person, even a U.S. citizen, to be abducted and imprisoned abroad by our own government with no legal consequence, as long as they moved fast enough to outrun the courts."

It has been sickening (literally) to watch all of this unfold knowing that most people don’t recognize that SCOTUS is working hand in hand with the Trump regime.

The conservative majority on the bench was put in place by the same groups who wrote Project 2025 + or - a few billionaires.

Words matter and Sotomayor seems to be the only one willing to acknowledge it.

Words can ensure justice or provide cover.

We are all we got, it looks like.

This has taken about 2 weeks longer than i predicted, but that’s only because we have aSCOTUS that’s dishonest and now scared (rightly so apparently).

Will any republicans in power stand up? They are the party in power. Unfortunately, the next question is what will the military do.

I wish I had good answers. I mean I know what they’re supposed to do, but we crossed that line 4 or more years ago.

Thank you for providing this texture; it's very important. I have been seriously disturbed by a related consequence, which I just wrote about here. https://open.substack.com/pub/starvingjunglefever/p/the-racist-trump-threat-that-chills?r=1h269a&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
