    This man truly needs to try to get to Canada or Europe and claim asylum. The right have a massive hate boner for him because it pokes so many holes in the “we are only sending bad people there” line they always use.

    Also we need to stop calling it deportation when its not that at all.

      The media continues to miss every opportunity to call out the fascists’ distortions of language. It’s infuriating to see how journalists unquestioningly buy into the propaganda, apparently without realizing what they’re doing.

        If they don’t then they get sued for a billion dollars, then we get no news. It’s a pretty shitty situation all around.

          Then fight the lawsuits. They’ll win because the lawsuits are bullshit. Everyone knows that but they would rather bend the knee than fight and that, more than anything, is why I hope they do go under.

          Luckily they’re all backed by billionaire investors so they can afford to see the frivolous suits through. The self-censorship is something they do by design, not a response to any actual threat.
