Why has no one bitch slapped this idiot and pointed out that there has been no declaration of war and the law in question cannot be legally invoked? Honestly, how does this clown keep getting away with this shit?

I wish sites like this would verify their information better. Yes Trump ignored the judge’s orders and spouted insane legal claims, but the article leads off with a false claim that the poor guys got sent to a slave-labor camp. According to CNN, the prison is a different kind of nightmare.

In a recent visit, CNN’s David Culver and his team described cells “built to hold 80 or so inmates” where men are held for 23.5 hours a day and “the only furniture is tiered metal bunks, with no sheets, pillows or mattresses … an open toilet, a cement basin and plastic bucket for washing and a large jug for drinking water.”

…

The CNN team that visited in late 2024 described the deprivation as “deliberate,” noting the men were allowed out of their crowded cells for just 30 minutes a day, that “there is no privacy here, no trace of comfort” and the lights are on 24/7.

“They do not work. They are not allowed books or a deck of cards or letters from home. Plates of food are stacked outside the cells at mealtimes and pulled through the bars. No meat is ever served. The 30-minute daily respite is merely to leave the cell for the central hallway for group exercise or Bible readings,” wrote CNN’s David Culver and his team.

Inmates are not allowed visits from family or friends and some of them must face the possibility that they will never be released.

The prison is an absolute hell, not even considering that some or all of the men sent there by Trump could be innocent of any crime. But calling it slave labor is false and just gives the other side a point of attack to discredit the whole article. We don’t need to lie about any of this stuff to make it seem worse. The truth is all we need.

If you believe the reporting, there have been violent attacks on Tesla dealerships. And even if you are not personally committing a violent act, if you are at a protest when it happens, you’ll likely get charged too.

On a side note, don’t forget that our justice agencies and far-right militias have been known to send agents provocateur to such events to commit violent crimes to turn peaceful protests violent.

Seriously good advice. Particularly since you can and will get charged with a terrorism offense. Let’s be honest here, people are going after Tesla because of what Musk is doing in the government. That means that people are using violence and intimidation in order to intimidate a civilian population or influence government policy. I really doubt that prosecutors will not have trouble making such charges stick. Just because you’re the good guys, doesn’t mean you won’t spend a lot of years in prison if you get caught.

Thanks for the link. Well worth the watch.
