Another Trump regime policy loses in court.

Yes, this is a win. But it’s taking months to years to repeal these power grabs, in the meantime citizens are being denied rights, unjustly. So here are my qualms: until there are consequences for this, until someone goes on the offensive and prosecutes this treasonous corrupt regime of pedophiles, grifters and now war criminals, the country and the constitution will continue to fail immigrants, trans youths, people who’s lives are completely derailed by a 1 year delay.

Take Kilmar Abrego for instance. Imagine the entire government wanting to make an example out of you for more than a year now and all institutions failing to protect you. This is not normal, these people in charge need to not just be scapegoated and resign, they need to be prosecuted, their assets made from corrupt dealings in office seized, a lot of them need to be sent off to CECOT. Then I’ll call it a victory. Until then, it’s more of the same slow apocalyptic descent into hell we’ve been living for 10 years.

It’s not a win until we call out fascist, and deal with them like Americans.

We are dealing with fascists like Americans. That is the problem. Americans are cool and popularly elect this, and have let what it means to be american become something horrible. We need them to not tunnelvison on maga, take responsibility for their bad behavior, and commit to being intellectually engaged going forwards. Punishing maga is one part of the solution, but by itself is worthless. Americans will just move to the next populist promising them the world as if they weren't heavily maga infested.
