You don’t know who we just disappeared to El Salvador. Think about that.

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.

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard.

Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.

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.

The revisionist history from Washington and tel Aviv would have you believe Bashar al Assad fell because of Israel’s war in Gaza, against Hezballah etc etc

It wasn’t. Bashar fell because of the hope & commitment of the Syrian people, the unwavering belief of civil society, and Heroes like this man.

I’m convinced that’s always been the long term goal of the state of Israel, cleanse the whole country. The Oslo Accords were likely a mirage.
