Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Musk’s staffers are now forcing federal employees at several agencies including the FAA to sign non-disclosure agreements. The goal is simple: silence the resistance through more threats and now, forced agreements. Maybe we’re not supposed to be talking about being forced to sign NDAs… oops, lol.

DONALD TRUMP LITERALLY SIGNED HIS NAME TO A CERTIFICATE PROVING HE COMMITTED TREASON

By Pardoning Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio, Donald Trump provided aid and comfort to a individual found guilty of sedition against the united states of America, and is guilty of treason.

He must be removed from the office.

Acts of Treason: 18 USC Ch. 115: TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES

Any attempts to aid Trump by forestalling justice or providing him comfort by failing to carry out one's duty to bring Trump to justice, is guilty of treason. They must be removed from office.

THIS IS CONSTITUTIONAL LAW. THIS IS A SLAM DUNK. ARREST HIM.
