Understand that this El Salvador gulag deportation was done partly in order to make the fascist video that the president now transmits, with his fascist message. The cameras are all set up in advance.

I'm not a lawyer, but I would strongly recommend that blue state AGs and legislatures start today figuring out how to make treason and intentionally violating judicial orders state level crimes, with appropriately harsh punishments.

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

This is incredible reporting and an important read. WIRED has been absolutely running circles around NYT and WaPo. I bought a subscription. They're going to need our support when Musk and Thiel try to sue them out of existence Gawker-style.
