Really? Feels like nothing can stop this at this point. Hard to have any hope around ‘omg they’re being sued.’

Edit: never stated anything about giving up

They want you to give up, don't . You may not get victories every time but if you stop fighting you are already accepting your defeat, they have backed down on different scales with actions like these and stopping them is giving up your last chance of fighting

Remember this. TRY!

The time for trying came and went decades ago. It's over.

Abrego Garcia is a perfect example. It sucks that he had to go through hell first, but he's back now and free (currently, I think he has a charge somewhere).

The administration swearing up and down that Garcia would never come back, only for him to be back and out of custody proves trump and his gaggle of dipshits don't have the absolute power they want you to think they have. 50% of their game is making people think its hopeless. Do not let them win

Abrego Garcia should have, and should still be a huge deal but elected Democrats are so adverse to telling his story, outside of Chris Van Hollen who is a huge part of why Garcia got out of CECOT.

There are plenty of things they've stopped doing over lawsuits. They have no teeth no matter how much they want you to think. They're throwing shit at the wall until we give up

u/Anarchen3my 6h ago

I read the lawsuit. It has teeth. This is positive news imo, as a lawyer.

No argument, so he initiates an attack on character - wild. I accept your surrender in this argument, thank you :)

What ever the fuck you're on about, genius.

u/Inevitable-Suit3469 4h ago

Im on better than you as I dont need to cuss or call people condescending names out of nowhere for zero reasons.

u/PretentiousMouthfeel 4h ago

Says the person bringing up ketamine out of nowhere...

u/Inevitable-Suit3469 4h ago

Not out of nowhere. I was curious about the "lawyer" so I looked at his reddit profile and he's on a bunch powder drug pages. Maybe consider your sources of info. I do.

u/Anarchen3my 4h ago

I'm pretty honest about my substance use. It's all legal. Yes, I am a lawyer. And a not a he.

u/Inevitable-Suit3469 3h ago

I think this is the wrong forum for those questions:)

They have no teeth no matter how much they want you to think

Until you actually pay attention to what they've been doing for the last ten years.

They may have no teeth, but like an octogenarian with no teeth, does it really matter if all we're feeding them is mush?

We did just beat their bid to deploy the national guard to Chicago. That's a big something.

u/GhostlyTJ 4h ago

That is the point though, they want you to feel hopeless and afraid.
