Wow! Love the summaries! You covered so much ! I think that Dems should continue to fight for the deported but need to stress that the issue is not only about human rights but explain why the rule of law must be defended! If we lose this fight there will be a legal precedent for president to deport or jail people! Innocent or not. Without their right defend themselves. Minorities, people who oppose him, who criticize him, etc. THAT is a message that I don’t think people get..
I think it's important to refer to other countries that have faced similar authoritarians movements that have still managed to come out of it democratically. Latin America has faced and continues to face similar perils. I look at the election of Lula in Brazil as a recent moment worth looking toward. It also offers us a chance to form international movement beyond our country and look towards answers from successful efforts there, which in turn allows us to be less US-centric in our attempts to explain the world.

Thanks Rossi, I definitely agree this is two-pronged issue and attaching them together bolsters both arguments.
Robert and I share the Rmu e mail address.. It’s me Rossi! 🙂
Wonder how you think we can ever recover the rule of law after the arrest of Judge Dugan……
