Amy Klobuchar calls on Supreme Court to hold Trump officials in contempt

Senator Klobuchar warns of US getting ‘closer to a constitutional crisis’
-- as Samuel Alito’s dissent signals deference to Trump

On Sunday Minnesota senator #Amy #Klobuchar warned that the US is “getting closer and closer to a constitutional crisis”, but the courts, growing Republican disquiet at Trump administration policies, and public protest were holding it off.

“I believe as long as these courts hold,
and the constituents hold,
and the congress starts standing up,
our democracy will hold,”

Klobuchar told CNN’s State of the Union, adding
💥“but Donald Trump is trying to pull us down into the sewer of a crisis.”

Klobuchar said the US supreme court should 👉hold Trump administration officials in contempt if they continue to ignore a court order to facilitate the return of Kilmar Ábrego García from El Salvador,
the Maryland resident the government admitted in court it had deported by mistake.

Klobuchar said the court could appoint a 👉special prosecutor, independent of Trump’s Department of Justice,
to uphold the rule of law and charge any officials who are responsible for Ábrego García’s deportation,
or have refused to facilitate his return.

The senator’s comments came hours after supreme court released justice #Samuel #Alito’s #dissenting #opinion on the court’s decision to block the Trump administration from deporting more Venezuelans held in north Texas’s Bluebonnet detention center .

In his dissent, Alito criticized the decision of the seven-member majority,
saying the court had acted “literally in the middle of the night” and without sufficient explanation.

The “unprecedented” relief was “hastily and prematurely granted”, Alito added.

Alito, whose dissent was joined by fellow conservative justice #Clarence #Thomas, said there was “dubious factual support” for granting the request in an emergency appeal from the American Civil Liberties Union
to block deportations of accused gang members that the administration contends are legal under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

The majority did not provide a detailed explanation for the order released early on Saturday,
only that the administration should not to remove Venezuelans held in the “until further order of this court”.

The court has said previously that deportations under the 1798 law can only proceed if those scheduled to be removed are offered a chance to argue their case in court and were given “a reasonable time” to contest their pending removals.

I have a new #PetPeeve . We've entered a hypercritical point in #history and there are thousands of individual #FactMessengers in the #fediverse and elsewhere, who aren't spewing #fascist shit every 12 seconds, being pricked at by bots and BS posts/toots/DM's and otherwise chided by #misinformed 'helpers' who want to point out those facts as "not helping".

Everyone is entitled to an #opinion . Just remember that your opinion can still be absolutely unadulterated, stanky-assed horseshit.

Americans, it’s time to move to Europe

A slightly superficial article iun many ways, but having lived in the US and now living in Europe (Scotland) with a US partner (who would not go back) a lot of it is good stuff. And that is before you have to consider the current fascist danger or even trivial things such as gun crime.

screenshot : reads I live emotionally between the two continents. As a British student in the US in the early 1990s, I thought it was the greatest country on Earth. I acquired an American wife and kids, but we ended up in Paris. Over decades of transatlantic visits, I've tracked the lives of American friends and relatives. I now feel that even somehow setting aside the mammoth issues of Trump and freedom, most Europeans live better than most Americans. There's one big exception: the mega-rich. If you're among the wealthy Americans awaiting another tax cut from Congress, then congratulations: the Trump administration is at least trying to run the country for your benefit. You're unlikely to get that from European governments. Similarly, most Americans in tech or finance will find undynamic Europe frustrating. That leaves about 99 per cent of the population for whom emigrating to Europe would be a life win. The biggest potential beneficiaries are adults under the age of 35: unable to afford a home or even childcare in America's biggest cities, but young enough to acquire a new language and circle of friends.
Screenshot, reads 'Once here, your salary may shrink, but your costs definitely will. The Eurozone's income per capita is about three-quarters that of the US, after correcting for purchasing power, says the World Bank. Americans in Europe might need to cut down on consumer goods. On the upside, they will be able to afford housing, education and healthcare. The average premium for family health insurance in the US is $25,572, reports the Kaiser Family Foundation. That's more than the average post-tax wage in much of Europe. Fun here is cheaper too. A multinational organisation I know brought its national chapters together for a dinner in Madrid. When the bill came, the Americans were so startled by its tininess that they photographed it, saying they would hang it framed in the Washington office.

AI Is Dead

"AI does not see what we see. It has no personality, no creativity. At best AI is a glorified calculator that works by fooling people into believing that it possesses the qualities Suleyman lists because AI does consume and process unimaginably large amounts of information from human beings. Unlike Suleyman’s claim, though, computers don’t have any real understanding of the data they generate."

„In Gaza, we are not just witnessing a humanitarian crisis. We are watching the moral fabric of international institutions unravel. The West, the UN, the entire system built to uphold human dignity—they’ve failed. Worse, they’ve revealed that perhaps they were never truly committed to those values when it mattered most.“

me - corporations are not fair.
users - true that.

me - U.S. corporations are not fair.
users - I'll just take this political, call you a communist and spread bad stories about you.

If you ever hear bad talk about us on mastodon, then this might be a reason. (our .social account got deleted for no reason and some pro-EU accounts ghost us, also no idea why)

If you want to double check on our opinion, please just ask us directly! We're pretty straight forward.
