It frightens me a lot when intelligent, thoughtful people say “oh, #Trump can’t do that (some awful illegal thing) because ____ won’t allow it”.
Wake the fuck up please. There is no one to stop him. #SCOTUS just allowed this administration to wash their hands of a completely innocent legal immigrant who they mistakenly sent to a foreign concentration facility.
The guardrails are GONE.
Understanding this landscape is crucial to our battle.
#ICE director Todd Lyons: "We need to get better at treating this like a #business ,where this #mass #deportation operation is something like you would see and say, like #Amazon trying to get your Prime #delivery within 24 hours. [...] So trying to figure out how to do that with #human beings.”

US Dpty AG [& fmr #trump #criminal defense atty] #ToddBlanche on Wednesday banned #Justice Dept attys from traveling to or speaking at #ABA events, in a memo seen by Reuters that accused the ABA of engaging in "activist causes" contrary to the government's interest.
“This is amateur hour,” shouted Rep Steven #Horsford, D–NV, at Jamieson Greer, #Trump’s top #trade rep. “It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you.” News of Trump’s plan to #pause most of the reciprocal #tariffs that went into effect this morning was just reaching Capitol Hill. “This is not a game. This is real life,” Horsford yelled as he pressed Greer about whether or not the move amounted to #MarketManipulation by the admin.

Something we shouldn't allow ourselves to forget or unsee as the Roberts Supreme Court invents legal fictions to provide cover for Donald Trump as he rounds up and deports immigrants who are afforded no due process:
The Roberts Supreme Court is controlled by a bloc of right-wing "pro-life" Catholics, Roberts himself included in their number.

#SCOTUS handed #Trump a victory on Monday by letting him use the #AlienEnemiesAct, a 1798 #law that has been employed only in wartime, to swiftly deport alleged Venezuelan *gang members* as part of Trump's extreme #immigration policies.
The court granted the admin's request to lift Washington-based US Judge James #Boasberg's March 15 order that had temporarily blocked the summary #deportations under Trump's invocation of the AEA while litigation continues.

For those in the #US, now is the time to call #GOP senators and congresspeople to demand they vote for the one line resolution "There is no emergency" and therefor #Trump has no power to levy #tariffs. They must be forced to lift the equivalent of their legislative pinkies and end this madness, or we will rub their faces in the results--like a dog that's pissed on your best rug. 😠 The #FascistGOP must own this if they take no action to stop it!!
Yes & thank you.
#Tesla stock extended losses Mon, dropping below a price at which #Trump Commerce Secy #HowardLutnick predicted they’d never fall to again.
The shares plunged as much as 9.2% to $217.41 as of 9:41AM in NY, amid a broader selloff in global equity markets. Lutnick totally unethically said during a FauxNews interview on March 19—when Tesla closed at $235.86—that viewers should buy the stock, saying “it’ll never be this cheap again.”
