“Yesterday was the day democracy in our nation officially died. We no longer live in the America we grew up in: ‘The land of the free and the home of the brave.’ … The country that claimed to follow the rule of law, and valued compassion and the protection of its most vulnerable people. We are now in the midst of a outright coup against the Constitution, against the United States, and against our founding ideals: Donald Trump proclaimed it yesterday when he openly defied the Supreme Court and our founding documents with a sneer, and his neofascist sycophants chuckled and giggled in the Oval Office. When Marco Rubio claimed that arresting and deporting a man legally living in the US was ‘foreign policy’ that can’t be overseen by the Supreme Court and then congratulated himself on his cleverness.” (04/15/25)
