S. Sutherland @sonjasutherland.bsky.social · 18/04/2025Why is the Trump Administration so keen to send American citizens to El Salvadoran prisons? The US has more prisons than anywhere else on Earth. If there isn’t enough room in American prisons to hold all the Americans that Trump plans to imprison, we’re in deep trouble. 030

S. Sutherland @sonjasutherland.bsky.social · 26/02/2025Funny how they always try to deflect criticism by accusing their political enemies of the very thing they themselves are doing. Like a bizzaro world version of “whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you.” 000

S. Sutherland @sonjasutherland.bsky.social · 17/02/2025I think we have to assume Trump employs bribery, coercion and blackmail wherever he can. It’s kind of his thing. Look what he did with the Democratic mayor of New York, for example. 010
