I’ve been wrestling with the conviction to use my visual communication skills to fight fascism. My personal belief as someone who went from an alt right conservative kid, to the opposite, education and exposure to alternative views is what can truly make a difference in changing these people’s minds. My partner disagrees and views it as pointless. Fascists will be fascists….
I disagree, but I lack a network of like minded folks to discuss this with. Is education directed at the lukewarm conservatives worthwhile?
I think that education is easily the most important and invaluable thing you can offer anyone. Will you convince all of them? Certainly not, certainly not by yourself. But if you can change even a single mind, you'll have done quite a thing, because if each of us can do the same, and change a single mind, we can build a world quite different from the one we have now.
Essentially it does give the authority to the administration and El Salvador to do what they want They only have to make 'efforts" but they don't have to produce a result
"The biggest issue I see involves what I mentioned in my last article.
If you look at the details of this update, you will see that SCOTUS told the District Court to explain what they mean by 'effectuate' and only enforced that the admin must 'facilitate' Garcia's return.
That, in essence translates to: 'You have to try, but you don't have to succeed'"
It really upsets me that so many left-wing outlets are trying to sell this as a win, because apparently they need to copium so badly. If Popok, a lawyer from MeidasTouch is selling this as a win, which seems absurd to me.
That's because the SCOTUS is composed of a majority of corrupt fascist stooges. They see themselves as the law not the constitution they swore to uphold. With them in control there really is no law. Big law firms are folding because they recognize that bribery in all its forms is the only law now. He who has the gold rules!

Yeah, it's pretty bad. I also went over this in the corresponding DOGE Tracker Update, especially in the comments:
