Afaik he was being detained by the state, initially under suspicion of breaking the law but then later they continued to hold him just because ICE asked them to.

Reporting on this story hasn’t been very good, it’s been difficult to follow the more nuanced details of what’s going on. But the bottom line is very clear: he was detained illegally, and the fascists wanted to deport him anyway.

You know what they say, go woke go broke!

Wait…

Only if you’re assuming benevolence on Trump’s part. What if we assume malice? Undermining a country’s water security is a big accomplishment.

He’s setting up a go at the presidency. He knows that the DNC will want him to lean conservative, but he doesn’t want to be painted as flip flopping or pandering, so he’s leaning into it early. Now when the GOP inevitably calls him a woke far left extremist (or whatever buzz words they’re using by that time) he can point back to this period as proof that he’s “always been a centrist” who can appeal to non-MAGA conservatives.

Of course, he and the rest of the DNC haven’t figured out yet that conservative voters are NEVER going to vote for the LESS conservative party.

Haha I know 🫠

2026

The midterms are going to be brutal; Republicans can’t afford to lose either chamber of Congress.

Wait for it, it’s coming: some variation of “make Greenland great again” political campaign to try to win over Greenlanders so they’ll support annexation by the USA.

Thankfully they get a preview of what making a country great looks like according to Trump.
