Remove Trump From Power Now
I want to make all of this as simple as possible. The Trump administration admits, in court, that they seized (I’m not sure ‘arrest’ is the right word if you don’t get Mirandized or a lawyer) at least two people by mistake. These innocent people were legally present in the country. For the past month they have been held in inhumane conditions and tortured in a prison in El Salvador from which no one is ever released. When the courts, including the Supreme Court, ordered the administration to bring them back, the administration said they could not do so, and did not have to. The stated legal position of the Trump administration today is that they have the right to grab any person off the street – and I say any person, because recall that they admitted they grabbed the wrong people and it didn’t matter to them – and imprison them for life without trial, without appeal, to be tormented in a foreign concentration camp, and that they cannot and will not obey any court order to rescue them. In plain terms, today, the administration claims the power to have you, American Citizen, arrested, shackled, flown to El Salvador without a lawyer or a phone call, and thrown into a cell crushed in with hundreds of criminals, and they’ll never bring you back even if your family sues and wins in court. The plain truth that so many do not wish to see, because it is so horrifying, is that as of now, Donald Trump is a fascist dictator, and his administration is implementing a police state.
Under this circumstance, Trump cannot be allowed to serve out the remainder of his term, nor can his Vice President be allowed to succeed him, nor any cabinet official who has enacted, excused, or countenanced this abuse of power. Legally, the remedy is impeachment and removal of all of the above. The only reason this is not happening is because Republicans in Congress – your normal, average, run-of-the-mill Republicans, such as they are in 2025 – refuse to act, and in doing so they betray their oaths to the Constitution and become party to the theft of every right and liberty the signers of the Declaration of Independence were willing to die to procure for you. Therefore, we must protest, impeach, and remove every official with the power to bring Trump to justice who refuses to act, and if we cannot reach them directly, we must start with whoever is nearest and lowest in the political structure that can be reached – start wherever you have to start, and move up. But understand this: we cannot make peace with the criminals presently running our government, we cannot allow them to serve out their terms, and we cannot allow them to retire privately without facing justice. Remove them from office legally, and remove them physically from power; and begin now.
