Since my state decided to overturn women’s rights yesterday AFTER the people of the state said to legalize it in November, I won’t be doing that either.

How sad. These little men in Congress and their hatred of women. I noticed Viagra isn't banned like women's healthcare! Sending you a big blue heart, Resister Sister!

truly wishing you luck in not getting caught and having to pay the price. For 50 years I have been paying taxes for things I love (NPR, NEA, NOAA, NASA, NIH, NPA, EPA, HHS, FEMA, USAID, first responders of all kinds, DOE, SS, Medicare, scientific and intellectual research, Smithsonian, support to Ukraine etc etc) and held my nose at things I despise (nuclear proliferation, ICE, manufacturing weapons of mass destruction, subsidies for oil companies, weekly golf trips to Florida, subsidizing illegal wars and conflicts, etc). Although tax resistance has been a response to being fed up throughout our whole history, most especially now I want to give the treasury money so that it can't say it doesn't have enough to support the programs I love, and I do not want to get caught up on the vindictive wrong side of our leaders.

Did you see the GIGANTIC military plane and numerous soldiers (?) accompanying the last 10 people that were sent to El Salvador? It is truly absurd.

Alyssa Eustache, that is my assumption but it's not stated clearly. If that's the case, that makes this even more concerning. Gives Buekle more incentive not to turn him over. The depth of corruption is outrageous!

this is new information to me- they already paid to send them there and now trump is paying to keep him there and most likely the others that were sent - Kilmar is not the only innocent person sent there. I do not want to pay federal taxes until this administration is GONE.

QKMC☀️'s avatar

Exactly, they government has already paid. So are they paying more to keep Garcia there? Maybe they were asked for more money to stage the meeting with the Senator. Well that's extortion.

Andrea Tate's avatar

It's news because it blows a hole in them claiming that they can't get him back, that it is up to El Salvador. El Salvador said the reason he hasn't been released is because they're being paid to keep him there.

I think the point was that he said the only reason Garcia isn’t being released is money. Nothing about being a gang member or criminal, just that they’re being paid to hold him.

300 and the news is the Senator cannot see Garcia and this is an on-going payment and white US citizens will be human trafficked. The 6 mil and counting is to build more Gulags to house the human trafficked.

Shannon Baughman's avatar

The news is they are purposely paying to hiding Garcia. They are keeping him from coming home. I'm sure it's to cover up their mistakes, possibly to keep the other 75%that are also not guilty of any crimes from also being sent home? It could also be they don't want stories getting out about how inhumane CECOT is!

Courtney's avatar

Absolutely ridiculous. It isn’t “smuggling” someone into the US when SCOTUS ordered the trump regime to FACILITATE his removal from the prison back to the US.

There has to be some massive coverup here. Is Garcia even alive????

100% agree with you, Resister Sister! Whistleblower on Youtube posting a revolt is coming for Trump and Musk! Hope they freeze and seize their assets first! Revoke their passports! don't let them get away from justice. public hanging or prison for life is the only answer to this govt takeover. All on Bluesky.

I like to believe that the world looks a lot smaller when it comes to countries they could flee to safely. Nor would they enjoy living in those countries with assets frozen.

I have wondered that since he was disappeared!😢 I just feel that once he was in El Salvador he was thrown in with the MI-13 crew that he was “supposedly” a member of and died shortly thereafter! The rest of the story won’t be heard until several years from now after CF47 has gone thru all the courts in our Country.🤬

I just think it’s very very VERY sus that the Salvadoran government wouldn’t let Sen. Van Hollen see Garcia or even speak to him over the phone. WHY? 🚩🚩🚨🚨 I really hope he’s alive and I’m completely wrong.

Wtf?!? This is bullshit that they didn’t even prove that he’s alive. Trump needs to be fucking impeached and all involved, Noem and all the way down to the ICE agents need to be imprisoned.

MorningStar's avatar

Impeach? what again? that didn't work. How about revoking their passports so they cannot escape justice, how about freezing and seizing their assets so they can't buy their way out of justice? Find a deep dark hole and bury them! We need to take our country back! We need to restore law and order! USA lacks honesty, integrity, and justice for the criminals in Congress.

Sal Teodoro's avatar

It’s just despicable how Pam Bondi, Stephen Miller, and the Bukele lied and Senator Van Hollen goes all the way down there and they give him the run around. I’m furious. Kilmer did nothing wrong and it was a Trump appointed judge in 2019 that gave him protected status that he could not be deported.

Everyone down to the ICE agents need to be jailed. I pray he’s alright and still alive. The Democrats better have the Senate shutdown. Do anything and every thing to grind it to a halt until he’s brought back.

Meanwhile 90% of those in El Salvador prison are not ms-13 and don’t have criminal backgrounds. How about we trade them for a person with 34 felony counts, convicted of rape, fraud and more.

We did know this already, but it points to the fact that Trump is paying for each of these men to be housed there. They must have a contract with El Salvador .

If kilmar Garcia comes back, the El Salvador government would lose their payment for him. It’s sickening to even think about it.
