“Never again” is now.
In Case you have to deal with bad faith whining about Garcia Abrego's knuckle tattoos. (oh scary he has tattoos on his hand).
Lets review the timeline real quick in regards to the tattoos. Detailed timeline available here -
https://abcnews.go.com/US/timeline-wrongful-deportation-kilmar-abrego-garcia-el-salvador/story?id=120803843
3/15 Kilmar Garcia Abrego is detained by ICE. Sent to an El Salvador prison, CECOT without due process.
4/1 Media and a legal defense raise public interest. ICE and the federal admin make excuses, 'detained in error, but declared a gang member' etc, after the Trump admin 5 or 6 years prior had ruled he was in the country legally.
4/17 A photo op is arranged to show Abrego is alive, meets with Senator Van Hollen.
4/18 Trump holds up his photoshopped 'translation' of the cartoonish knuckle tattoos, a picture first published from El Salvador Dictator and sketchy cartel affiliate/bitcoin bro Nayib Bukele.
So Let's see- they detain a guy, the case goes to the highest court, and then almost a month later they say 'whelp look at these weird prison tattoos sideways and its totally just like all the members of MS-13 who have MS-13 on their body spelled with the four characters M and S and 1 and 3 the only difference being these tattoos aren't those characters. Bro we knew he was in the gang. And now that he's in our complete control, we didn't tie him down and tattoo some random shit on his knuckles, trust us bro, who would do something like that? Just tattooing markings on a prisoner who was denied legal recourse based on ethnic assumptions? We're not like the last people who famously did that at all- trust us bro. We just waited until the case had been in the highest courts before showing you this totally reliable photo.
Also if you look at his staged photo with the Senator? He's hiding his hands under the table- probably because they just held him down and randomly tattooed him? Regardless if this is just a theory or not- he had been processed and found innocent several times, and this is just some half baked "Fuck the Constitution, America has a King now, and we can hurt whoever we want, yeehaw racism is amazing again" motherfuckery. But for my money that photo op is a picture of a guy forced to dress like a fucking tourist and experiencing body horror after having been marked up by fucking monsters, all because he wanted to send at least one last message to his wife and child.
And if you think any of that benefits America in any positive way, I hope you fucking drink bleach, and chase it down with horse wormer, and I hope you get every cruel perverted nonsensical whimsy the Mad King can cook up. You people are a minority in America and your hate movement is on borrowed time.
(don’t mind the shit grammar I edited this right after waking up)
The thing is - this helped a bunch of useless decrepit parasites and hurt everyone else. Royalty really just is like that. Tyrants and dictators really are like that. Hurt people indiscriminately. Claim somehow his actions benefit gullible people through demagoguery and propaganda. If you like a cruel dictator because you believe that his cruelty and irrational greed will benefit you, doesn't that seem to presuppose either a) you are going to be able to be in that room full of a small handful of deal makers in the white house, or b) the person who you admire because of their absolute lack of empathy or concern for others is somehow going to show concern for you personally and people just like you?
That's beyond really fucking dumb. You may be a Republican but you aren't going to feed from the trough of the corrupt Republican machine. You are grist for their appetite. Your families and communities are grist for their lust for conquest and power and absolute control. Corruption only helps a small handful of assholes. Just because you may be infected with delusions doesn't mean anything good will come from them. This is pure destructive Mad King Bullshit.
No corruption to see here folks please don't pay attention to the giant red flag. I really fucking hate it here.
BREAKING NEWS: Every Republican Senator just signed off on the DOGE destruction of Social Security!
Frank Bisignano has spent the last few months helping Donald Trump and Elon Musk take a chainsaw to Social Security.
Shame on these Senators for being complicit in the attacks on Social Security.
Reposting this from a friend bc I think it is VERY important to know of this, and for immigrants, and other possible victims of the ICE Raids happening right now
“Trump is corrupt. So corrupt, in fact, that it is kind of alarming to me that we are not talking about his corruption even more than we are already talking about it. I mean, his family started some damn crypto companies and then he, as president, declared that he is going to get the US government to buy a ton of crypto. He is directly selling off pardons and commutations to felons who can pay adequate bribes. He is firing prosecutors who are Democrats and installing buffoonish loyalists in important legal positions, so they can conduct witch hunts on his behalf. The world’s biggest and most complex corporations have been reduced to paying bribes in order to directly beg the president for their priorities, at the club the president owns.”

Saw this on wikipedia and thought it was cool - The author of the short story that inspired "They Live" - Ray Nelson In Paris, he worked with Michael Moorcock smuggling then-banned Henry Miller books out of France.
