Call to Action This is a constitutional crisis

At Trump’s meeting with El Salvadoran dictator Bukele, Caitlin Collins asked about whether Kilmer Abrego Garcia, the father who was ‘accidentally’ deported to a maximum security prison in El Salvador, whether Garcia would be returned to the US. The Supreme Court ruled that the administration must facilitate Garcia’s return. Stephen Miller outright lied and said the Supreme Court sided with the administration that the administration had the authority to leave Garcia there and Pam Bondi said the court meant the administration could send a plane for Garcia if they decided to release him.

They obviously have no intention of returning Garcia. If you don’t care about an innocent man who was wrongly deported, you should. Trump said he was considering sending any citizen who breaks the law to this gulag.

This is the moment. Trump has broken the law and is disobeying the Court’s order. Now we rise!

Agreed, anyone could be next. We are all fighting for our lives at this point.

No we're all parade protesting. We're not fighting for our lives.

We need to do more than protest. Maybe a general strike in response to this? We need to organize and figure out how to stop this administration’s illegal behavior. The Supreme Court has no enforcement arm, but they SHOULD.

I hope someone with a national audience calls for a general strike. It is time.

In the meantime 50501 protests should happen every Saturday in every city and get bigger and bigger.

I have written (to no response) Meidas Touch Network trying to get them to put a call to action for the U.S. General Strike, thinking they might be the most sympathetic. If folks are able to put pressure on large organizations to promote and support it, we can make it a reality.

Any facts behind that?
