Proof · The Trump-El Salvador Scandal DeepensBy Seth Abramson

“Arturo Suárez, aka SuarezVzla, was a struggling artist while his country crumbled around him. Like Ms of Venezuelans, he left. Worked hard to send💰home, performing on the side. #ICE arrested him in NC filming a music video⬇️WATCH. Now he’s in #CECOT.

His wife, Nathali, is in CL, along w their daughter, hasn’t heard from her husband💔in >1 mo. “If something happens to my husband, I’ll hold🚨Trump & Bukele responsible.”

Continued thread

On the fascist theater, propaganda, and deceptions that may lead to the birth of a US dictatorship under Trump unless Americans rise up and stop him. An essay about fascist unreality and the nazi game of Simon Says the Trump regime played during the President of El Salvador's official White House visit, and why the evidence suggests the United States just officially slipped into authoritarianism.

Fascist Word Games and the Birth of an American Dictatorship

"t this point I’m honestly not sure how much more evidence fair minded people need to see before they understand the Trump regime’s farcical yet terrifying trafficking of hundreds of Venezuelan migrants to a torture prison in El Salvador had no basis in law or public safety, but was rather just a form of highly-effective fascist propaganda; a grand act of nazi theatre designed to inspire white nationalists, terrorize brown people, and shatter the legal checks on the Klepto Kaiser and his Christian Nationalist regime’s power."

@mcnado espechally if you remove the giveaways like guards armed with modern riot gear and AR-15's and modern lights...

Personally I'm surprised #CECOT doesn't forcibly tatoo inmate numbers in their arms like the Nazis did or tatoo a barcode at their necks.

Report: "Just Do Something"

"Sen. Chris Van Hollen met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia—and showed what can be accomplished when Dems act beyond the bare minimum."

Trump attacked Van Hollen as a “GRANDSTANDER!!!”

The once little-known senator is now a symbol of what it looks like to challenge this president by simply doing something.

Mother JonesJust do somethingSen. Chris Van Hollen met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia—and showed what can be accomplished when Dems act beyond the bare minimum.

The U.S. State Department is paying El Salvador $6 million
to house hundreds of immigrants deported from the United States in an immense and brutal prison there,
Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo, or #CECOT.

But a U.S. law bars the department’s financial support of “units of foreign security forces”
— which can include military and law enforcement staff in prisons
—  facing credible allegations of gross human rights violations.
That has led those who wrote what’s known as the #Leahy #Law and enforced it for years to question the legality of the $6 million payment made as Trump carries out his campaign of mass deportation.
The Trump administration on March 15 sent 261 men to CECOT,
after invoking the #Alien #Enemies Act of 1798 to apply to Venezuelan nationals 14 and older who are suspected members of the gang Tren de Aragua.
On March 30, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said an additional 17 nationals from El Salvador were sent to CECOT, again alleging gang ties.
On Sunday, #Rubio said 10 more men were sent to the prison in El Salvador, and noted how
“the alliance between” the U.S. and El Salvador
“has become an example for security and prosperity in our hemisphere.”

People could make it more expensive to start warehousing people in gulags for the US than it is worth. Bukele need to feel the loss of export incomes.

Politics with the purse.
