So let me get this straight. Russia is backing Iran in the war. The US is buying oil from Russia... so we're now just helping fund Russia in killing American soldiers.... WTF.

The 'great peacemaker' says we had to bomb Iran yesterday to stop an imminent nuclear threat. Weird, because last June he told us he had 'completely and totally obliterated' their nuclear program. Hard to have 'peace and stability' when the entire justification is make-believe.

One correction. Even a studio apartment is unaffordable at this point.

NEW from Abrego Garcia's attorneys: "The Government continues to delay, obfuscate, and flout court orders, while a man’s life and safety is at risk. Its request for an extension ... is another stunning display of arrogance and cruelty." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
PLAINTIFFS' OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANTS'
MOTION TO MODIFY SCHEDULE
At 6:43 p.m. yesterday, the United States Supreme Court issued an order finding that this Court "properly require[d] the Government to 'facilitate' Abrego Garcia's release from custody in
El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador." Noem et al. v. Abrego Garcia et al., 604 U.S. _
(2025), slip op. at 2. The
Court further ordered the Government to "be prepared to share what it can concerning the steps it has taken and the prospect of further steps." Id.
Last night, this Court ordered the Government to file, no later than 9:30 a.m. today, a declaration from an individual with personal knowledge, "addressing the following: (1) the current physical location and custodial status of Abrego Garcia; (2) what steps, if any, Defendants have taken to facilitate Abrego Garcia's immediate return to the United States; and (3) what additional steps Defendants will take, and when, to facilitate his return." Dkt. 51.
This Court's order to facilitate Abrego Garcia's return was issued one week ago. It was
not stayed until Monday afternoon. Accordingly, the Government should have been taking actions Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday morning, and the Government can report on those. TheSupreme Court lifted the stay yesterday evening. Accordingly, the Government should have been taking actions last night and this morning, and it can report on those. The Government should
likewise be in a position to tell the Court in general terms what its further plan is to facilitate Mr.
Abrego Garcia's return, and who in the Government is responsible for implementing that plan.
Instead, the Government continues to delay, obfuscate, and flout court orders, while a man's life and safety is at risk. Its request for an extension- filed this morning in defiance of the Court's rules requiring consultation with Plaintiffs' counsel-is another stunning display of arrogance and cruelty. It did not take that time to ponder whether to remove Garcia-which it effectuated within 72 hours of his unlawful seizure and it does not need that time to comply with this Court's and the Supreme Court's rulings. We vigorously oppose the Government's motion,
and we further request that the Government immediately report on Mr. Abrego Garcia's safety and
well being. We will attend the scheduled hearing at 1 p.m.

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

That's something I honestly hadn't fully considered until now.. the absolute evil behind leaving services open for red districts and shutting them down in blue is ALMOST unfathomable. This is the man who Christians idolize? If I were to believe in an Anti-Christ, Trump would be suspect #1

It's actually wild. This close of a call on something that is BLATANTLY unconstitutional, is worrisome. Not that I wasn't already worried, but, ya know.

River Garling @rivergarling.bsky.social · 05/03/2025
I mean, their reasoning is missing a couple of key points such as: it's unconstitutional and you don't know how the government even works.. but we know repubs haven't cared about that for a long time. So I will take this as a very small win and hope our pressure is getting to them.

We need to be clear about this: Billionaires and corporations are the root cause of nearly every problem the average American has. Billions and billions of dollars are spent to make you think that you can't have free healthcare or free education simply because the richest wouldn't be quite as rich.

River Garling @rivergarling.bsky.social · 03/03/2025
Nobody needs hundreds of billions of dollars. Nobody needs one billion dollars. The wealth inequality in this country is obscene. People die every day because they don't have food and/or affordable access to healthcare. Children are starving. Billionaires. Should. Not. Exist.

My brain is having a really hard time reconciling the fact that our nation actively supports Russia now. I can't comprehend what benefit this gives the American people. How can we support a fascist lunatic that hates America? And also, how can we support Putin??

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

This is so incredibly important to remember. Every single House and Senate Republican, to this point, is 100% complicit in every action that Trump has taken. They have all quite literally sold their morals and values to the highest bidder.

This is literally the absolute pique of ignorance. "Why don't you wear a suit"? Are you kidding me? That's what you wanted to contribute to this discussion? Not anything about his country being invaded by Putin or men, women and children being murdered. Nope. A suit. Am I in the twilight zone?
