Democratic lawmakers led by Sen. Chris Van Hollen say they are willing to go to El Salvador to seek the release of a man who the Justice Department says it mistakenly deported there — a plan that has gained steam after the country’s president said during a visit to the White House that he would not send the man back to the U.S.
Sometimes the spectacle is the point.
Yeah, and giving people a visual will help make this more real for them. I doubt this one press conference is going to be our turning point, but it’s at the very least a small step in the right direction and better than ignoring this.
What spectacle? They’re going to show up and look completely ineffectual.
No, it’s a hell of a lot more effective than what you’re doing with these Lemmy posts. They are doing the right thing and we should applaud whoever shows up to do that in these dark times.
