Where is Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia? What has the govt done to facilitate his return? And if nothing, why is the Supreme Court allowing their ruling to be ignored?

3/13/25 (9th day calling)

I left a voice mail at the DC office of Rep. Elise Stefanik (R, NY), requesting that she impeach Trump for starting an unprovoked war w/ Iran & to use her power to stop it.

(I'm feeling under the weather and did not leave voicemails at her other offices. But I plan to resume doing so next week when I, hopefully, feel better.)

I post here for accountability, to compound my emotional benefit, & let my online neighbors see that I care.

Okay, I know the really important thing is the *content* of his politics, but can we just talk for a moment about the amazing typography and striking use of color in Mamdani's campaign?

I keep lingering on photographs of his victory speech. The visual effect is 🤩.

Zohran Mamdani speaks during a victory speech at a mayoral election night watch party, Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025, in New York. The sign behind him, "ZOHRAN FOR NEW YORK CITY," has brilliant orange letters that nearly jump off the screen. The sign on his podium uses that same orange, contrasted against a violet skyline of NYC. And the stage lighting on Mamdani's face mirrors the violet on the podium sign.

If you're a fan of #hockey, or decency, please note these names:

Kyle Connor
Jake Guentzel
Jackson LaCombe
Brock Nelson
Jake Oettinger

These are the guys from the US Men's Olympic hockey team who stayed away from the party at the White house.

"Top ICE Official Says Protesters Can Be Arrested for Simply Criticizing Mass Deportation Campaign: Court Filing"

#USpol #USpolitics #FirstAmendment #ICE #DHS

https://www.commondreams.org/news/gregory-bovino-chicago-testimony

The attorneys also said in the court document that Russell Hott, the field
director for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Chicago,
said during his deposition that he did not agree that it would be
“unconstitutional to arrest people” simply for expressing opposition to
his agency's current mass deportation operation in the Windy City.

This section of the filing caught the attention of Steve Vladeck, a law
professor at Georgetown University, who said it appeared federal
immigration officials are straightforwardly violating the First
Amendment right to peacefully protest.

“It's impossible to overstate how much of what ICE is doing on the
ground reflects this completely preposterous conflation of hostile
speech and hostile conduct,” he wrote in a post on Bluesky. “The First
Amendment protects—or, at least, is supposed to protect—the former up
and until it’s a ‘true threat, which none of this is”

The full CBS interview with Trump about the pardon of Binance's Changpeng Zhao is shocking. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/read-full-transcript-norah-odonnell-60-minutes-interview-with-president-trump/

"Why did you pardon him?" "I have no idea who he is. I was told that he was a victim ... They sent him to jail and they really set him up. That's my opinion. I was told about it."

#crypto #cryptocurrency #USpolitics #USpol

NORAH O'DONNELL: Looked at this, the government at the time said that C.Z. had caused "significant harm to U.S. national security", essentially by allowing terrorist groups like Hamas to move millions of dollars around. Why did you pardon him? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Okay, are you ready? I don't know who he is. I know he got a four-month sentence or something like that. And I heard it was a Biden witch hunt. And what I wanna do is see crypto, 'cause if we don't do it it's gonna go to China, it's gonna go to-- this is no different to me than AI. My sons are involved in crypto much more than I-- me. I-- I know very little about it, other than one thing. It's a huge industry. And if we're not gonna be the head of it, China, Japan, or someplace else is. So I am behind it 100%. This man was, in my opinion, from what I was told, this is, you know, a four-month sentence. But this man was treated really badly by the Biden administration. And he was given a jail term. He's highly respected. He's a very successful guy. They sent him to jail and they really set him up. That's my opinion. I was told about it. I said, "Eh, it may look bad if I do it. I have to do the right thing." I don't know the man at all. I don't think I ever met him. Maybe I did. Or, you know, somebody shook my hand or something. But I don't think I ever met him. I have no idea who he is. I was told that he was a v

The perfect candidate to step in for Biden will be the one who is confident looking out over the massive crowd gathered for his or her ascension and saying:

“And to my Republican friends… [restrained catcalls & boos] …to my Republican friends, my party and I welcome the fight ahead! And I urge you, please, please—do not do what we have done; stick with Trump!”

The internal watchdog for the US Federal Housing Finance Agency [#FHFA] is being removed from his role, four people familiar with the matter said, at a time when the housing regulator is playing a role in Trump's targeting of perceived enemies.

The bridge they’re closing for the military parade, according to the NPS, has a limit of 10 tons. The United State’s main battle tank, the M1 Abrams, weighs ~60 tons.

So if they include those tanks, could get interesting.
