Depending on where you are in Washington, you may have a ballot in the mail. Here in King County, we have the important issue of something something fingerprints. The Fuse voter guide is pro, so I will probably just go with that. But I don’t know, just it feels weird having the vote rather than it just being part of the police budget.

Anyway, if you’re confused about what’s on your ballot, Fuse do a pretty good job. So check out their voting guide.

Anyway, anyway today is a good day to contact your legislator or member of Congress.

    The UK Supreme Court has ruled that there are only two genders:

    • Men
    • Welfare Queen YLB

  2. 2

    Welfare Queen YLB takes comfort in the formal recognition that she is the only real unserious twat on HA:

    The United Kingdom’s highest court ruled that the legal definition of “woman” excludes trans women, in a case with sweeping consequences for how equality laws are applied.

    Britain’s Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the definition of a woman in equality legislation refers to “a biological woman and biological sex,” sparking celebrations outside court among gender-critical campaigners but warnings it was a “worrying” development for transgender people.

    Pa. Gov. Shapiro was targeted for ‘what he wants to do to Palestinian people’: warrant

    The suspect in the arson attack at the Governor’s Residence targeted Josh Shapiro due to his perceived stance on Palestine, according to a search warrant obtained by PennLive.

    The suspect, Cody Balmer, called 911 following the attack early Sunday, identified himself by name and told operators Shapiro needs to know he “…will not take part in his plans for what he wants to do to the Palestinian people,” the search warrant written by police said.

    I’m gonna love it when libbies have to hold their nose and vote for the Shapiro/Fetterman ticket in November 2028. Sure, they’re both from PA, but that won’t be the case when Fetterman gets the nod.

    This morning Judge Boasberg issued findings of probable cause for criminal contempt for the violations of his order of March 15th directing the DHS to prevent the departure of flights to El Salvador and to turn them around.

    “It appeared that the Government had transferred members of the Plaintiff class into El Salvador’s custody hours after this Court’s injunction prohibited their deportation under the Proclamation. Worse, boasts by Defendants intimated that they had defied the Court’s Order deliberately and gleefully. The Secretary of State, for instance, retweeted a post in which, above a news headline noting this Court’s Order to return the flights to the United States, the President of El Salvador wrote: “Oopsie . . . Too late 😂😂.”

    Out of 238 of them, 179 have zero criminal record, here or abroad. Yet they have been arrested and, with no due process, sent to a torture factility in El Salvador under contract to Fat Hitler.

    And Fat Hitler remains completely defiant of lawful court orders to present evidence concerning crimes or return them to the U.S. for lawful deportation hearings of that evidence.

    Because the evidence does not exist.

    Let’s say you believe that some immigrants lack due process rights. That’s entirely incorrect. But it’s a commonly held belief that seems to be a key part of why Republicans are using immigrants as the lever to pry due process out of the Constitution.

    Even if you do believe that, what’s to stop the government from claiming that you are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error” (“Oopsie . . . Too late 😂😂.”); and refusing to do anything to bring you back?

    The answer is due process.
    The law begins and ends with due process. Without it we are no longer a nation of laws, and there are no meaningful individual rights without due process to vindicate those rights.

    Autism can be prevented.

    Autism in up to date research is genetic. Is it possible that some future ‘Crispr’ technology can end autism?
    Maybe.

    No one had Autism when I was a kid

    But they did have Asperger’s, a term now out of favor as it has been folded into the diagnosis of Autism which really didn’t exist until that dumbass was in his 30s. Kids were being treated with Ritalin for ‘hyper-activity’ which is now known as a diagnosis of autism. Kids with sudden violent anger were often sent to ‘reform schools’ in what is now recognized as autism.

    Kids with autism will never go on a date or pay taxes

    Did he just call them useless retards? Close. Weird I displayed a lot of the characteristics of Autism and was diagnosed in my 40s. Married, working, taxed, kid with autism who has a high school girlfriend.

    You know who else is quite clearly Autistic?

    @9 “In a statement, White House communications director Steven Cheung said, ‘We plan to seek immediate appellate relief. The President is 100% committed to ensuring that terrorists and criminal illegal migrants are no longer a threat to Americans and their communities across the country.'”

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/judge-finds-probable-cause-hold-trump-administration-contempt-deportat-rcna201569

    As you point out, and this college dropout (Steven Cheung) doesn’t seem to understand (and at the very least refuses to acknowledge), there’s a missing link: These migrants may be illegals, but they haven’t been adjudicated to be “terrorists and criminals.”

    In Stalinist Russia, Nazi Germany, and Trumpian America, you get to point a finger at someone and say, “You’re a criminal or terrorist because I say so,” but you don’t get to do that in Constitutional America.

    The only way Trump, Rubio, Bondi, Homan, Baghdad Barbie, Cheung, and Doctor Dumbfuck can do that is in Unconstitutional America. And the courts of Constitutional America may have something to say about that.

    15,

    Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not “illegal” in any way.

    Under current law he may not be deported. But he has been deported. Thus his deportation is a violation of current law. And the people who deported him are the “illegals” in this case, not Kilamar Abrego Garcia.

    The way in which they carried out his illegal deportation and the place to which they arranged for him to be deported combine to make the Fat Hitler administration the “terrorists and criminals.”
    They kidnapped him without any probably cause to conduct a lawful arrest or detention. They placed a hood over his head and very rapidly conveyed him outside of the jurisdiction of the laws of his state of residency. They quickly put him on a charter plane and flew him out of the United States in violation of the law and orders to keep him inside the U.S. They turned him over to a torture facility. They paid the owners of that facility to torture him.

    Kidnapping. Human trafficking. Torture. Terrorism. By Republicans.

  17. 17

    @11 “there are no meaningful individual rights without due process to vindicate those rights”

    That’s not true. Natural law always exists. And one of its fundamental precepts is the right of self-defense.

    The Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto had a natural-law right to shoot Nazis. So did the French Resistance.

    Thus, if rule of law ceases to exist in the United States, and masked men are snatching people off the streets in the manner you describe, then citizens endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights would possess a natural law right to defend themselves against being kidnapped by a lawless authoritarian regime, and incidentally will have nothing to lose by doing so.

    I’m not saying this is a desirable state of affairs. It absolutely is not. It’s a desperate last resort when tyrannical governments go after innocent people based on nothing more than who they are. It was what the Warsaw Ghetto Jews and the French Resistance had left when law and due process was taken from them.

    Because assholery is the point.

    ICE sent out a blanket text today to a contact list of unknown origin telling people that it is time to leave the United States and that if they don’t the “Federal Government will find you,”

    Reports that the list included multi-generation U.S. Born persons with names of Hispanic origin, naturalized citizens, possessors of green cards and H1B visa holders.

    ICE has answered no press inquires as to how this list was compiled.

    They are quite literally trying to drive out non-white legal immigrants through fear tactics.

  19. 19

    @16 Let’s not overlook what else is going on. When Trump talks about sending already-incarcerated American criminals to an El Salvadore dungeon because of its reputation as a “hellhole,” he’s doing two things:

    (1) he’s adding punishment that hasn’t been imposed by the courts via an extralegal process; and

    (2) he’s violating the Eighth Amendment ban on cruel and unusual punishment,

    completely apart from the illegality of rendering American citizens to foreign countries.

  21. 21

    Rather than engage on the law, or bother attempting to comply with court orders, the admin strategy is now shifting to simply asserting pure lies outside of court as a way of trying to muddy issues being decided inside of courts.

    Dog-Killer Barbie’s spokesperson today issued a statement claiming that upon his arrest Abrego Garcia was “carrying rolls of cash and drugs”, was “wearing an MS-13 gang uniform”, was in direct criminal association with “two other members of MS-13”, and that previously two article 3 criminal court judges has determined that he was a gang member. All of these statements are lies. Abrego Garcia was alone when he was arrested. He was initially booked for “loitering” which is an unenforceable law, and he was wearing a Chicago Bulls baseball cap along with his trades apprenticeship work clothes and required safety gear.

    These lies can’t alter the legal process since their falsehood was already confronted, tested, and disposed of six years ago the last time Fat Hitler was president. At the end of that process when the immigration officials were unable to validate or support any of their fake claims with any witnesses, testimony, or evidence, Fat Hitler’s own immigration judge issued an order withholding deportation because they were lying then. They are still lying now.

    Only the purpose has shifted. Now the purpose of the lies is to cover for their own criminality and to help persuade mouth breathing incel dipshits like the Nazi Fucktard that “there something to it” and that “don’t trust faggy laws and courts”.

    El Salvador’s government denied Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) a visit with Kilmar Abrego Garcia ….

    Van Hollen … traveled to El Salvador on Wednesday and met with the country’s vice president, Félix Ulloa, to request a meeting or a phone call to check on Abrego Garcia’s welfare. Ulloa turned him down.

    “He said you need to make earlier provisions to go visit CECOT,” Van Hollen told reporters after the meeting in San Salvador, referring to the maximum security prison with a reputation for torture. “I said I’m not interested in a tour, I just want to meet with Mr. Abrego Garcia. He said maybe if the American Embassy will ask, maybe that could happen.”

    Ulloa also rejected Van Hollen’s request that Abrego Garcia be released from prison, telling him the Trump administration was paying the government of El Salvador to keep him there.

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kilmar-abrego-garcia-el-salvador_n_67fff5b3e4b0b55f47db5923

    Because Garcia hasn’t been prosecuted by the Salvadoran government nor sentenced to prison by a Salvadoran court, and is being held solely at the behest of the U.S. government, El Salvadore appears to be surrendering sovereignty over its own citizens on its own soil. But if not, then you’d think Garcia could seek his release through a habeas corpus proceeding in Salvadoran courts. After all, he hasn’t been convicted of anything in either U.S. or Salvadoran courts.

    https://www.csj.gob.sv/sala-de-lo-constitucional-proceso-de-habeas-corpus/

  23. 23

    Let’s say Garcia files a habeas corpus petition with a Salvadoran court, and it’s denied on the ground he’s a U.S. prisoner, therefore Salvadoran courts have no jurisdiction over his detention.

    That would sure look like an admission by El Salvador that he’s still in U.S. custody, and it follows that the U.S. government could retrieve him simply by asking for him to be turned over to U.S. Marshals sent to bring him home.

    Tesla’s current promotion to try to slow the plumeting sales in key markets has involved a NaziGremlin truck towing around a “glass box” trailer in which rests an artistic rendering of one of the new “due to be released at any moment” sedan models.

    This has two great advantages for the shitcar company.
    The first is that it puts some of the growing inventory of unsold NaziGremlins to work. The second is that by using a trailer and a NaziGremlin to tow it they don’t have to explain why they don’t have any operating prototypes of these imaginary models.

    Or else what? Trump will send a gunman to silence Shapiro next time? Is that what Meuser thinks?

    Even if Griffin prevailed in federal court, got wrongly labeled “never residents” discarded, had nobody utilize 30-day cure window, and everyone cast a SupCo ballot, Griffin would still need Riggs to have gotten 72.2% of outstanding vote. None of these scenarios are plausible.

    “It’s appalling and sad that Sen. Van Hollen and the Democrats applauding his trip to El Salvador today are incapable of having any shred of common sense or empathy for their own constituents and our citizens. Nobody knows this more than the woman standing to my right, Patty Morin, whose beautiful daughter, Rachel, was brutally maimed and murdered at the hands of an illegal alien in August of 2023,” Leavitt said.

    Rachel Morin was attacked and killed by a fugitive from El Salvador while hiking in 2023. Victor Martinez-Hernandez, 24, was convicted of Morin’s murder and rape on Monday.

    All of these statements are lies. Abrego Garcia was alone when he was arrested. He was initially booked for “loitering” which is an unenforceable law, and he was wearing a Chicago Bulls baseball cap along with his trades apprenticeship work clothes and required safety gear.

    The only part of this that is true is the Bulls cap. The rest is QoS McHillbilly parroting some lie he read elsewhere. Or possibly made up himself.

    Here are the arrest/detention/interview documents:

    https://www.scribd.com/document/850737556/Kilmer-Abrego-Garcia-Documents#from_embed

    Of the four arrested, this POS was detained because he was part of a murder investigation. I’m surprised his booking photo hasn’t shown up before – it would not be useful to the left.

    What QoS McHillbilly claims are “apprenticeship work clothes” is a hoodie with gang-related images on the front, intended to represent a “don’t snitch” message. I’m neutral as to the nearly $1200 in cash he had on him at the time of his arrest, as I am neutral to the marijuana found with the group of four arrestees of which the POS was part.

    Do not believe what QoS McHillbilly writes unless he provides a link. Too frequently he spews falsity. Too frequently he does so with intent.

    Contents of the report taken by local detectives formed the basis of evidence reviewed by a Fat Hitler appointed immigration magistrate who soon thereafter issued an order withholding any further removal actions against Abrego Garcia in 2019. That order remains in effect today as stipulated to by the fat Hitler administration in court weeks ago.

  50. 50

    It should go without saying at this point, however circumstances seem to make that necessary, that Mr. Abrego Garcia’s attorneys would absolutely welcome an opportunity to relitigate the statements made by that detective at the government’s earliest convenience.

    It should however be noted that at no time in the last three weeks have DOJ attorneys defending the Fat Hitler administration in federal court seen fit to present any such police statements in defense of their orders to remove Mr Abrego Garcia in violation of the law.

    I wonder why.

I have multiple photos/videos of how violent he can be and all the bruises he bas left me.”

    In her own handwriting, she alleges that Abrego Garcia punched and scratched her on her eye, leaving her bleeding after throwing her laptop on the floor. She writes that on another day, he got angry again, started yelling, and ripped her shirt and shorts off, then grabbed her arm, leaving marks.

    She also writes that in two times in 2020, he hit her.

    @ 50

    I wonder why.

    Because the Alien Enemies Act permits deportation after judicial review. In the case of the POS Garcia, said review occurred, twice, in 2019.

  53. 53

    Because the Alien Enemies Act

    The United States government has issued no such declaration or finding, administratively, judicially, or otherwise prior to the removal of Mr. Abrego Garcia. For all legal purposes Mr. Abrego Garcia’s protective order withholding him from removal remains in effect today, weeks after his unlawful removal in violation of the INA. The United States government has already stipulated to this in court in Maryland. And the Supreme Court of the United States has already affirmed that conclusion.

    Once again, Mr. Abrego Garcia’s family, friends, and his attorneys would all very much welcome an opportunity to hold a hearing of any kind into such a finding at the government’s earliest convenience. Today is good. What time would be good for Dog-Killer Barbie? Can she reschedule her hair extensions?

  56. 56

    @46, 48 – It’s not an arrest/detention/interview or booking document, either. It is, or purports to be, a cop’s contact report.

    Abrego Garcia was hanging out in a Home Depot parking lot with other Hispanic individuals. BFD. I’ve often seen that at Home Depots in the Seattle area — day laborers looking for work. They don’t necessarily know each other.

    Notice how quickly Doctor Dumbfuck jumped from seeking day labor employment to “being investigated for murder.” He moves faster than a housefly you’re trying to swat.

    @51 Maybe grounds to lift the withholding removal order. You go back to the issuing court for that, dumbfuck. Until then, it’s illegal to deport him. And now Trump, Rubio, Bondi, and Homan are also in contempt of district court, appeals court, and Supreme Court orders.

    The Supreme Court on Thursday said it would weigh in on the Trump administration’s request that it be allowed to broadly enforce its new restrictions on birthright citizenship while the policy is being litigated. …

    The Justice Department said Trump should be able to enforce the policy for everyone except the people directly named in the lawsuits and those who lives in states that have sued if the court thinks states have a legal right to challenge the order.

    It is difficult in some cases to get to the very heart of the matter. But in this case, it is not hard at all. The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order. Further, it claims in essence that because it has rid itself of custody that there is nothing that can be done.

    This should be shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear.

    No problem. Eliminating enforcement doesn’t eliminate tax obligations or debts. The next Democratic administration will simply collect the back taxes, along with interest and penalties.

    @70 I wonder if political appointees who disregard constitutional rights and defy court orders can be held to have acted personally, not in their official capacity, and held personally liable by their victims.

    I’m thinking there should be a threshold where once a government official defies court orders, that person isn’t acting as a government official anymore. In other words there should be a line where, if crossed, personal liability attaches.

    It seems pretty clear lawyers can be disciplined for disobeying court orders.

    “They said they were doing a welfare check, but I’m worried. Why would they need so many agents to do a welfare check?” said the girl, whose first name is Yolanda. “There were three ICE agent cars parked in my uncle’s driveway.”

    They’re not fooling anyone. ICE has nothing to do with immigrant welfare, and doesn’t do welfare checks.

    Here! HERE’S his pokice report that PROVES! He’s a gang member.

    Uh it says they did the gang affiliation questionnaire which was inconclusive and he was wearing a Chicago Bulls hat and a confidential informant claims he’s a gang member.

    HE HAS A LONG CRIMINAL RECORD!

    weird, there’s a field on the report for that that reads, and I quote, ”subject has no criminal history.

    HE WAS LOITERING AND THAT’S A CRIME!

    For all legal purposes Mr. Abrego Garcia’s protective order withholding him from removal remains in effect today…

    76,
    Nothing in the recorded history of HA, no fact, no official government document, no sworn testimony, nor even any obvious and laughable admission of bullshit on his own part has ever inhibited this grotesque degenerate Nazi Fucktard from stripping off his wife-beater, painting his face, and then howling and dancing with his hair on fire because a “libbie” “blatantly and eggregiously”
    used an Oxford comma.

    And while I have no precise knowledge of it, somehow I’m confident that Joseph Goebels made abundant use of every opportunity to debate subtle nuances of meaning in the Geneva Conventions while his government was rolling cattle cars filled with six million doomed Jews toward the crematoria.

    Why should today be any different?

    4th Circuit CoA took very little time telling DOJ to fuck off and obey Xinis exactly the way SCOTUS told them to abide by Xinis’ order.

    But everyone OTHER than the third tier legal minds at DOJ knew that already.

    It is difficult in some cases to get to the very heart of the matter. But in this case, it is not hard at all. The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order. Further, it claims in essence that because it has rid itself of custody
    that there is nothing that can be done.

  79. 79

    @78

    More. The thing that’s obvious to everyone EXCEPT the cult members is gang affiliation is not a national security issue. An Administration TWAT went on the TeeVee and tried to berate the host with ‘we have INTELLIGENCE briefings…”

    government asserts that Abrego Garcia is a terrorist and a member of MS-13.
    Perhaps, but perhaps not. Regardless, he is still entitled to due process. If the government
    is confident of its position, it should be assured that position will prevail in proceedings to
    terminate the withholding of removal order.     See 8 C.F.R. § 208.24(f) (requiring that the
    government prove “by a preponderance of evidence” that the alien is no longer entitled to
    a withholding of removal). Moreover, the government has conceded that Abrego Garcia was wrongly or “mistakenly” deported. Why then should it not make what was wrong, right?

    Translation, if you have any evidence at all why at this second chance hail Mary of an appeal have you yet to present it?

    Just yesterday I pointed out that “permanent status” has nothing to do with whether Trump, Rubio, Bondi, and Homan are defying a Supreme Court order, and I’m making no progress at all getting through to the blockhead posting @76.

  82. 82

    Neither does his domestic violence history. You comply with the court order by bringing him back. Then you bring him before an immigration court, present the domestic violence and whatever evidence of gang affiliation there is to an immigration judge, and ask for the withhold from removal order to be lifted so he can be deported. Then you wait out any appeals. Then you abide by whatever the courts decide.

    Anything else is contempt of court, contempt for the Constitution, and a §1983 violation. Nothing in the Constitution, statutory law, court precedents, or court rulings in this case allows the administration to shortcut or go around that process.

    The blockhead @76 🤡🤡🤡 doesn’t grasp any of this.

    There are now at least three U.S.-born immigration attorneys who’ve been given one week to leave the country.

    https://www.rawstory.com/trump-immigration-2671795416/

    Sooner or later ICE is going to grab one of these attorneys, throw her on a plane, and fly her to a foreign gulag. When (not if) that happens, every ICE agent involved should get 20 years in state prison for kidnapping.

  85. 85

    Not sure I understand why ask the Supreme Court anything if you don’t follow their ruling after. Meaning it won’t matter if the rule against him, he’ll just not comply.

    A New Hampshire real estate attorney and American citizen returning home from Canada says he was detained at the border without an explanation. … CBP agents requested to look into his email on his phone, which he refused because of attorney client privilege. “So I had to, under duress, give him permission to look through my email, through my privileged information, and he made me write a statement, signed by me, saying that I gave him permission to look through the email ….”

    https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/treated-like-a-criminal-us-citizen-says-he-was-detained-returning-from-canada/6225364/

    The warrantless phone search was coerced, not voluntary. Lawyers cross borders on business all the time; how are they to protect sensitive client information from CBP’s prying eyes?

    I guess one way would be to encrypt it, upload it to the cloud, and have nothing on your phone and travel computer.

    I don’t know exactly what it is that El Salvador’s Bukele is trying to leverage out of Fat Hitler. But whatever it is Fat Hitler should hand it over.

    The photo op Bukele just put together with Chris Van Hollen just hurt the MAGA fascists badly. And made Van Hollen into a contender for Minority Leader.

    It isn’t clear who is in the driver’s seat in the bilateral relationship between Fat Hitler and Bukele. But it’s a certainty that Fat Hitler is too stupid to figure that out until it’s too late.

    94,
    Upon re-entry it is a legal obligation to grant access to devices. But you are not obligated to grant access to secure accounts, files, and data stored elsewhere. And that includes email. In Google, services like Gmail are tied to the Google account. But anyone can have multiple accounts. And it’s a best practice to keep any accounts used for client business separate from personal. So the easiest thing to do is simply remove the Google account used for client business from the device before re-entry. Takes a minute. Then reinstall that account after passing through customs.

    Since that guy was stupid enough to vote for Fat Hitler I don’t see why I should be surprised that he doesn’t know how to keep his client’s privileged communication safe.

  99. 99

    96,
    Thank goodness. And that will muddy and narrow Fat Hitler’s options. Prior to today it might have been possible to employ a variation on “cloud of war” defense, saying that he was simply “lost” and could not be found. That’s out now. He’s alive. He’s in Bukele’s personal safe keeping. And whatever happens to him next depends on the relationship between Fat Hitler and Bukele. Or anyone who can make Bukele a better offer.

    The previously issued TRO against DOGE accessing Social Security personal data is now a preliminary injunction. In addition,

    DOGE and any DOGE-affiliated staffers must purge any of the non-anonymized Social Security data that they have received since Jan. 20. They are also barred from making any changes to the computer code or software used by the Social Security Administration, must remove any software or code they might have already installed, and are forbidden from disclosing any of that code to others.

    One of President Donald Trump’s cronies has heavily implied that Americans who demand due process for a Maryland father who was wrongly deported could meet his same fate.

    On Tuesday, Trump’s senior director for counterterrorism, Sebastian Gorka, appeared on … Newsmax and said that those who publicly criticize Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s incarceration in a notoriously brutal prison in El Salvador could be committing a federal crime. …

    “The taxonomy of American politics is dead,” Gorka said …. “It’s not left and right. It’s not even Republican or Democrat. There’s one line that divides us: Do you love America or do you hate America? It’s really quite that simple.”

    Many truckers I’ve spoken with don’t realize how quickly container volumes have collapsed.
    Starting in May, port freight out of California will be almost eliminated.
    Its going to be a bloodbath in dray, followed by intermodal, and then a collapse in 1-20 & 1-40 trucking.
