I'm convinced nearly all bad law and policy is written on the backs of people our society teaches us not to care about: BIPOC, Muslims, immigrants, and prisoners. We keep thinking we can enslave and torture people and still have a healthy democracy and a protective 14th Amendment. We can't.

Still seems to me that what is lacking in this instance is a good search engine, a few telephone calls, a car, and a remorseful intent to remove a Nazi tattoo.

And isn't his comment disrespectful to the legacy of tattoo parlours and the licensed removal clinics in Maine?

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally β€” almost certainly incomplete β€” includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

There is a segment of the US population who won't believe this is true. And another segment that will always deny it, no matter how big the numbers get. When people say it's not true, what they mean is they don't care.

Yet.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Organizational signatures needed. Tell your members of Congress that the Fair Housing Act is not optional, and HUD must defend civil rights in housing!

2. Burying the truth of the Confederacy, rewriting its aims and ideas, and ignoring its animating words allowed for the terrorization of the Black population, the imposition of apartheid, and the destruction of democracy.

1. There was a fatigue, with Reconstructionβ€”which is to say, multiracial democracyβ€”and a desire for reunion, to make America great again. Intellectuals transfigured hate-mongers into heroes and ignored their wordsβ€”just as, right now, some are ignoring Kirk’s.
