A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
ICE detain teenager flying home to see family—deport her to Honduras "by mistake."
Judge ordered government to issue a "formal apology" and bring her back to U.S.—but ICE vows to immediately deport her again.
"It's a trap," lawyer said. "They are playing games with her life."

The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

CONGRESS declares war.
NOT President tRumpstein.
“On the merits, its detentions are illegal,” the judge wrote.

STOP THE SAVE ACT (Updated)
My new piece is up with lots of info about the SAVE America Act - the version of the SAVE Act that passed the House and is before the Senate this week. This is a MUST READ and then ACT.

This White House and AI will destroy us all! I was just in Canada for the week you could not visit a kinder place. Welcoming, friendly, and kind. When you play hockey you leave it on the ice and respect your opponents but this US government would rather embarrass us with 8th grade boy energy.
