JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

Yes. We’re fully in. But that doesn’t mean it’s going to stay that way. Or that Americans have resolved to throw up their hands and take it. It’s always the people, from lawyers and artists, blacksmiths and merchants, farmers and even slaves and their children that built this nation. We aren’t done

Ja, absolut....wir hier in Deutschland haben aus der Vergangenheit bitter gelernt und sehen mit Erschrecken,wie Amerika,das Mutterland der Demokratie,genau diese jetzt abbaut!!Unser großer Freund Amerika...forciert zu einem Feind,der Demokratie...passt alle auf!!!

I read hannah arrendt’s origins of totalitarianism - they are ticking every box. Once they are in it takes a while to remove them. Here in Europe we have our own challenges but feel so helpless

Now that it's clearly here, I can look back and see signs that it was falling over my entire lifetime. And those older than me can do the same. I once heard a historian say that American democracy started to fall on the day The Great Compromise was signed. That was 1787.

We were marching against the stolen election in 2000. It's been in the works for much longer though. See Project 2025, or ask anyone who's left any of their "Christian" cults.

Lack of judgment did it: The price of bread or tyranny. 🤔 It wasn’t an easy choice, but a loaf of bread and Project 2025 won. The rest of the western world looked on like we’d lost our minds as a GOP congress stands deaf and dumb. But, we’ve lost a whole lot more than our minds - freedom! Beware!

@extendedmetaphor.bsky.social

Dems should blitz this moron as someone calling for the violation of the Constitution such that our insistence on adherence to law is now a trigger for our being prosecuted. Demand his resignation. Trump won't comply. Then tar and feather Trump as a dictator no different than Hitler or Putin.

This is why character matters! MEGA was able to convince so many that their fellow Americans with different opinions were their enemy: so UNAMERICAN. Hatred & division isn't the answer. MEGA supporters need to get back to basics and act based on US values like equality. MEGA will come for them next.

I mean if they just arrest SCOTUS at that point everyone's gonna pick a side and flip shit. Not an accelerationist but damned if that wouldn't wake up some people who are still burying their fuckin heads in the sand.

Go 🖕yourself, Gorka. He isn’t a terrorist. You’re lying. And by the way, the only ones in the process of terrorism are you and the trump cabal. You, and the administration have committed a felony by refusing to allow someone due process under the Constitution of the United States. Mr. Contempt.

No one is immune to propaganda. You can see all the people here who insist that Trump couldn't have won all the swing states so it must be rigged. (Never mind more than half of the elections in the USA the winner won all the swing states.)

@bjchippindale.bsky.social

By margins JUST large enough to preclude a recount? With a "Russian Tail" in the early voting numbers? But I don't insist, I merely suspect. The mechanism must be demonstrated. Paper ballots, counted by hand. Painfully slow but far more difficult to corrupt in bulk. Needed because trust is GONE

Terrorism is the use of violence (j6th) or threats of violence (Reposting it'll be our 1776 if we lose) to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals. We by definition let a terrorist run our country

Considering fascists have always a much easier time corrupting that which already exists instead of coming up with something original, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for them to do any better than Bellamy's.

Contradictions are a wild feature of this government. You can ban protests against Israel while also being antisemitic. You can fire researchers while also seeking broad autism research. I can't with them.

p
@burnseternal.bsky.social

Yes, this administration has made a "science" (pun intended) out of keeping the American citizens enough off balance so that we're trying to look at and possibly react to each new travesty while the next one is happening. The goal is to overwhelm and defeat. We cannot let that happen.

That is an insult/threat I have never seen before. Thank you for expanding my horizons in this time when there is a great need for a metric butt-ton of fresh insult/threats.

Prior to 2016 I wouldn't have believed this was possible. Sadly, this is just the start of what's to come. If I had the money to move my lineage out of here, I'd be remote.

Due process is the minimum any civilization owes to the human beings it has jurisdiction over. Everyone has to have the right to present their case to an impartial judge. If they can't exercise that right, it isn't a civilization. It's a hostage situation.

@indybhoy.bsky.social

Serious question. What is the current viewpoint of the Pro Israeli lobby groups who support Trump but stand idly by as Far right Nazis take over his government? Where is their voice in this madness. Because it was pretty vocal to get him elected.

@ambervz.bsky.social

Why did Biden do nothing about this? Why did Biden do absolutely NOTHING to protect the world from this? Its not like they didn't see it coming FFS. The Democrats need to be held accountable for their BLATANT neglect.

@crunk1977.bsky.social

The President and his administration clearly HATE America. They hate that it's a melting pot, they hate the constitution, they hate democracy and they hate the freedoms we give people. It's not even debatable.

ANGEL - BadAss Resister
@nivula.bsky.social

They also hate that the middle class was doing pretty well. They have to take us down a notch and reward billionaires more. Poor billionaires, no class, no guts, no love, no empathy, just money. That's all they have.

They can, believe it You're right now reading this on a device that tracks your every move and every word and probably has pass codes, search history and "secrets" on it. They are watching.

@aludren.bsky.social

10% of the population of Poland was murdered for being Jewish during Nazism. They can get 30 million Americans, which is "us". Plus another 30+ million that voted for Harris... They could do it. Not in a day, or a single year, but it could be done and I won't put it past them to try

Viktoria L
@viktorialrr.bsky.social

I believe they could if they were more competent but alas,they are not. I think the ones who started this decades ago,before Trump, will retreat and come back later but stronger.We shouldn't ignore them but this MAGA group now is dangerous but like a toddler with a gun kind of dangerous. IMO 🤷🏼‍♀️

WundahDawg
@wundahdawg.bsky.social

Okay, they wouldn't issue this obscene threat unless they were feeling the heat, so we're doing something right. What gets me is that this administration AGREED, in court, that they had made a mistake, but want to keep hi in hell just to intimidate others. Sick as fuck.

Amias Channer
@amias.net

The legal situation is more complex than the moral arguments. Crossing multiple nations laws requires a treaty which is entirely outside one nations courts powers, it requires heads of state , who in this case are corrupt. Gorkas response is hyperbole but it has legal basis so caution is advised

JGeo

He must be dead... They are going waaaay out there to stop this inquiry. Capital murder charges anyone? Conspiracy to commit murder charges, anyone?

Due process is the glue to our democracy and Kilmar Abrego Garcia deserves due process. Being in the government doesn’t give you the right to threaten and bully anyone who disagrees with you. FO Sebastian Gorka.

Your point is well taken. I was out in the streets protesting on April 5. I will be there again on the 19th and May 1. I call my Congress reps. I write to John Roberts. RESIST!!

Squallity
@squallity.bsky.social

It was all there. “He was a criminal” “It was an administrative error” “A judge ordered his removal” “We can’t bring him back” “It’s terrorism to defend him” It just happened REALLY fast.

hooplaw.bsky.social
@hooplaw.bsky.social

The GOP administration is a criminal conspiracy. Everyone, including the press secretary, who lies to aid and abet it should be prosecuted for every death they cause. And sending people to CECOT is sending them to their death.

Lori Sirianni
@4animallife.bsky.social

What a stupid scare tactic by a stupid Trump goon. Gorka knows, or ought to know, that the First Amendment guarantees broad, robust, SCOTUS-affirmed protection of such free speech, and political speech is particularly protected. Don't be gaslit, Americans.

Miss Marci
@fight28.bsky.social

And that’s the way it’s always been. But with more people waking up( not woke) two different things but to be willing to live in a heart/soul centered life, and finding their true power things will start to shift. For if you are living in the light, it shines the darkness! Making it easier to see!

Grami13
@grami13.bsky.social

What an idiot. So who exactly will be charging the Supreme Court Justices with aiding and abetting? Or anyone in the entire judicial system? Because by Gorka’s rules they’re among the “anyone’s”.

Shannon Zak
@shannonzak.bsky.social

So what does that mean? He’s going to go after the congressman who flew there and people working at the US embassy there for trying to bring him home? The judge? News? Social media posts? His wife and parents?

Matt Quinn (The Electric Rabbit)
@electricrabbit.bsky.social

Got to say, from the other side of the world, it's looked a lot like Americans have *always* been people to screw with. You've spent decades letting the oligarchy recreate your country in the image they want - look at healthcare as a profit center - and this is just them finally going all in.

nurseroxy@ramblinroxy#DontTolerateTheHate
@handle.invalid

Such convenient conviction to say that; who else has been so easy to screw with- in your worldview? Throughout history of humankind, what people have gained or kept freedom without fighting? Without friends? So lucky to have publicly paid elections;$20 fine or duty to vote! Hope it's forever.

I’m advocating for due process for every “person” as the Constitution states It also states I have a 1A right to speak out Threatening us with “federal charges” that are fucking unconstitutional will not end well for the freaking deplorable Nazi fascist fucks like Gorkafuckyou

Kye@gxldsociety.bsky.social

MUST WATCH: El Salvador’s VP says Trump paid them to hold Kilmar Abrego Garcia. That’s not immigration enforcement. That’s international human trafficking. Where the fuck is the DOJ? Oh I know—somewhere kissing Donald’s ass! Pathetic!

🧠 Babe
@lakeinla.bsky.social

Your feelings are valid. It's a 180-day plan, 6 months. Chopping up our constitution and bending it to suit their fascist racist needs is appalling. Not only have we given corporations and billionaires too much power, but we've also given our federal judges and politicians too much power. Now what?

Ocarina
@ocarinas.bsky.social

I'm prepared to go to jail for doing what I know is the right thing. This regime has been abducting people from their homes, their schools, their workplaces, and off the streets and hauling them off to an El Salvador concentration camp with no due process. We should *all* be outraged to action.
