Our Constitutional Crisis.

 


Harvard should be commended for refusing to submit to Trump's anti-free speech demands. The Trump administration has froze $2.2 billion in federal funding, because Harvard doesn't want its students to be fed a whitewash, distorted version of history and a denial of diversity in its student body. Trump demanded Harvard to ban DEI programs, screen international students, and promote "viewpoint diversity." Harvard's President Alan Garber rightfully said that the government has no right to force private universities to submit to the government's demands. Harvard has stood their ground. Yet, some universities have submitted to Trump's anti-DEI demands, which is about selling out to a tyrant. Trump is a fascist tyrant, as his policies violate the First Amendment. The government has no right to dictate to private universities what they can teach in their curriculum or syllabus, who they can admit or hire, and which areas of study they can pursue. Trump wants to attack educational freedom. Supporting the rights of Palestinian people is not anti-Semitism, and loving the concept of black liberation is not racism, regardless of what the Trump regime says.


Trump and his administration are defying the Supreme Court order saying that Abrego Garcia must return back to America. Garcia is from Maryland, and he is a legal U.S. resident. The Trump administration continues to lie and say that Garcia is a member of MS-13 when that has not been proven at all. Garcia was kidnapped and deported to El Salvador without due process of law. This is illegal. Trump wants universities to promote pro-Trump propaganda, and Trump wants the deportation of U.S. citizens, which is fascism. Deportation of U.S. citizens is illegal in violation of the 8th Amendment, the First Amendment, and the Constitution in general. The El Salvador CECOT mega-prison system is one of the most brutal detention facilities on Earth. Bukele is a dictator in El Salvador too. He has suppressed political opposition, too. He doesn't want Kilmar Abrego Garcia to return to his American wife and three children in Maryland. Attorney General Pam Bondi is a liar to say that Gracia is an MS-13 member and an illegal immigrant. Garcia is a legal resident, he was never charged with a crime, and he was kidnapped without due process. Trump is a fascist as he wants the President to be bound by no law, even above judicial rulings, have unchallenged authority over foreign policy and war, and have the power to deport or detain anyone, including U.S. citizens, without due process of law.


Russia committed another war crime with a missile strike in Ukraine's Sumy, killing 35 people. Yet, many fake anti-war advocates are silent because many of them want to support the dictator Vladimir Putin (who is a far-right bigot). Silence is not an option. Putin did this on Palm Sunday in a cruel irony. Russian officials lied and said that they wanted to target military targets, but children were murdered. Putin is a liar as Russian forces targeted civilian locations for years in the Ukrainian war. Trump said that tech-specific tariffs are coming soon. That contradicts Trump's supposed electronics exemption, underscoring that no one is being truly exempted from the tariffs. Trump wants the U.S. military to control much of the U.S./Mexico border and adopt repressive measures that would treat migrants crossing the border as though they were attacking a U.S. military base. The dehumanization of migrants has been part of the Trump playbook for years now.

Trump wants to deport American citizens to foreign concentration camps that he deems "homegrown" criminals. This is illegal. We haven't had this level of fascist promotion since the 1930s. This is beyond worse than Reagan, and we lived through Reagan. Reagan's policies were bad in tons of cases, but Trumpism is on another level of evil. Trump is not only complicit in this. All Trump supporters are complicit in this evil as they voted for this male. This policy is anti-democratic and anti-American. It is heinous. The Supreme Court has to fight back and condemn this injustice or America as we know it is gone. Next year is, ironically, the 250th year anniversary of America. This is the most blatantly constitutional crisis in American history in a long time. Now, an American citizen Krebs is being targeted by the Trump administration. He is an innocent man who disagrees with Trump. If this can happen to legal residents, it can happen to citizens. It has happened to the citizen, Krebs now being harassed by the Trump regime.


The cruel news is that Trump and El Salvador's President refuse to return the mistakenly deported man. This man is entitled to due process, as we ought not to be a fascist nation. The Supreme Court ordered Trump to send Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia (from Maryland, and he is a legal resident) back to America. Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele and Trump should be ashamed of themselves. Trump has the power and the resources to send Gracia back home, but he refuses to follow a legal Supreme Court ruling, because Trump is an evil, xenophobic, and lawless Resident of the White House. Trump supporters hypocritically claim to love the rule of law, but they support Trump, who makes a mockery of legal court decisions. Trump has declared war on the rule of law, the federal judiciary, and we have a constitutional crisis now. Trump called for the impeachment of federal judges who ruled against him, which is illegal and fascist. We have to stand on our values and call out Trump for his anti-constitutional actions. Now, Trump wants to deport American citizens if he can find legal justifications for it (when that is illegal).  Trump is a dictator and a fascist. I will not sugarcoat my words. The leader of the DOJ and Trump supporters want to stonewall legal decisions that go against Trump's agenda. Democrats and other freedom lovers must talk about this issue from the rooftops.
