What Was the American Revolution For? Amid plans to mark the nation’s semiquincentennial, many are asking whether or not the people really do rule, and whether the law is still king.

'I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul by swearing allegiance to one whose character is that of a sottish, stupid, stubborn, worthless, brutish man' -- Tom Paine via the great Jill Lepore

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 — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And…

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t worry because if they’re detained, agents will “promptly let the individual go.”

For these Americans, that wasn’t true.

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

Congrats to @juliaioffe.bsky.social on today’s publication of ‘Motherland’! It’s a terrific book that helps explain why Russia is the way it is today, and you should read it and see why it’s already a finalist for the National Book Award…

This is a huge scandal, one of the worst in modern law enforcement and something that is astoundingly unconstitutional and illegal.
