"And so I think the question is ultimately going to be one, not for Chief Judge Boasberg, but for the #SupremeCourt. Can you continue to try to walk this tightrope, or at some point are you going to have to get off the fence?
And if you get off the fence, do you get off the fence in favor of the power of the courts, or do you get off the fence in favor of packing up and going home and letting the #Trump administration do what it wants?"

#trump is having a really bad week.

SO many federal judges are standing up to him, including #scotus who said they aren't going to listen to his appeals, and that the #usa is essentially lawless if he does not listen.

Judge Xinas is currently setting up a second contempt of court case, after judge Boasburg already started contempt proceedings.

This will allow them to start arresting people.

I want anyone complicit with Trump in JAIL.

Well I don't know about you, but there's nothing *I* love more than to be lectured by a British-Hungarian-American nazi about why demanding due process before we traffic a man legally residing in the United States with his American family, to a forever torture prison in El Salvador, is actually supporting terrorism; and if powerful administration officials are to be believed, so is protesting against Trump and his fascist regime:

Trump Adviser Compares Opposing Abrego García’s Detention With Backing Terrorism

"As independent journalist Ken Klippenstein reported, White House Senior Director for Counterterrorism Sebastian Gorka said in an interview with Newsmax that the divide between the Trump administration, which has sent hundreds of people to a notorious foreign prison without trial and disobeyed a Supreme Court order, and those who oppose its actions boils down to a disagreement between those who “love America” and those who “hate America.”

Those committed to abandoning constitutional rights guaranteed to anyone on U.S. soil, according to Gorka, are in the former camp.

“We have people who love America, like the president, like his Cabinet, like the directors of his agencies, who want to protect Americans,” said Gorka. “And then there is the other side, that is on the side of the cartel members, on the side of the illegal aliens, on the side of the terrorists.”

“And you have to ask yourself, are they technically aiding and abetting them?” Gorka said. “Because aiding and abetting criminals and terrorists is a crime in federal statute.”

Let's start by stating the obvious: in a just universe, Sebastian Gorka would have been tried, convicted, and "deported" via rocket directly towards the sun years ago; but here in our modern fascist-dominated unreality, this little nazi muppet is the Trump regime's "Senior Director for Counterterrorism." In other words, this bloated fascist toad is the guy literally in charge of going after "terrorists," which if you've been paying attention, is also the word multiple Trump administration officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, and deputy DHS secretary Troy Edgar, have used to describe Tesla vandals, and protestors in general.

As such, it should absolutely alarm you when Seb Gorka goes on TV, repeats and reinforces the government's fact free claim that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is literally a "terrorist," and starts accusing people who oppose Trump's illegal "deportation" of Garcia of potentially "aiding and abetting" terrorists; because, again, for some mysterious reason (they're all nazis too) the Trump regime gave this disgraced War on Terror-era reject authority over protecting America from whoever the hell the regime says are "terrorists" apparently. How Gorka finds the time to do so amid his typically busy day of doing Islambophia, warmongering, and spreading fascist ideology, remains a mystery.

Look, I hate to keep beating the drum about American imperialism and War on Terror policy decisions being why we're in this moment, but ultimately almost everything the Trump regime is trying to do to transform the United States into a fascist dictatorship rises out of those two horrible realities. Trump is using a fake "war" against "gangs" that the president alone has the right to declare "terrorists" for any reason at all, to grant him emergency powers to do all sorts of fascism; and Gorka (as well as other regime officials) are quietly, but repeatedly asserting the regime's right to take this fight against "terrorism" to the streets of America. On its face, none of this is legal; but given the ridiculous Calvinball powers our society has already granted the imperial presidency to make war, fight "invasions," and stop "terrorism," it's entirely possible these chucklefucks will get away with it - especially with a 6-3 fascist high Supreme Court that has already allowed Trump to declare a fake war in the first place, holding final say on the legality of the regime's actions.

skykiss ♾️🇺🇦 Vote Midterms

When a president defies #scotus it’s not just about one issue. It’s not just about immigration. It’s about power. It’s about the death of democracy — one defiance at a time.

We have co-equal branches of government for a reason. If we let one man ignore the rule of law, what’s next? Our voting rights? Our freedoms?

This is bigger than politics. It’s about the foundation of our country. Don’t sit quietly and watch it crumble. Use your voice. Flood your representatives. Demand they stand up for US.

Here’s how you can take action NOW:

Find your House Rep ⬇️

Find your Senator ⬇️

➡️ Call and email them — daily
➡️ Tell them: Uphold the Constitution. No one is above the law.

Your silence is compliance. Do not comply.👏🏽

Feds Charge Ahead with Plan to Destroy #OakFlat

#SupremeCourt poised to consider #ApacheStronghold’s appeal

By Becket Law, Censored News, April 17, 2025

WASHINGTON – "The U.S. government today announced that it is forging ahead with plans to transfer a #NativeAmerican #SacredSite to a multinational mining giant in as few as 60 days, despite a
federal lawsuit challenging the action as illegal.

"In Apache Stronghold v. United States, Apache Stronghold—a coalition of #Apaches, other Native peoples, and non-Native allies—sued to stop the federal government from transferring Oak Flat to
Resolution Copper, a Chinese-owned mining company that plans to turn the site into a massive mining crater, ending Apache religious practices forever.

"The government has announced it will now forge ahead with the transfer even though the case is currently under consideration by the U.S. Supreme Court.

"Since time immemorial, #WesternApaches and other Native peoples have gathered at Oak Flat, outside of present-day #SuperiorAZ, for sacred religious ceremonies that cannot take place anywhere else. Known in Apache as Chi’chil Biłdagoteel, Oak Flat is listed in the #NationalRegisterOfHistoricPlaces and has been protected from #mining and other harmful practices for decades.
These protections were targeted in December 2014 when a last-minute provision was slipped into a must-pass defense bill [#NDAA] authorizing the transfer of Oak Flat to the Resolution Copper company.

"#ResolutionCopper now plans to turn the sacred site into a two-mile-wide and 1,100-foot-deep crater.

"The majority owner of Resolution Copper, Rio Tinto, sparked international outrage when it deliberately destroyed 46,000-year-old Indigenous rock shelters at one of Australia’s most significant cultural sites.

" 'The feds are barreling ahead to give Oak Flat to Resolution Copper, even as the Supreme Court considers whether to hear the case,' said Luke Goodrich, vice president and senior counsel at Becket. 'This makes the stakes crystal clear: if the Court doesn’t act now, Oak Flat could be transferred and destroyed before justice can be served.' "
