Trump wants to send 82nd airborne paratroopers to Portland! Not an Onion article.

Another caricature of Portland from the Times. If only Portland were half as socialist as this article claims we are.

“This is perhaps the most extreme sign that the Supreme Court has abandoned law for politics,” he said in a statement. “There is no way under law to make sense of the vast new power the court has taken for itself.”

District Court in Northern California and 9th Circuit Appeals Court agreed that TPS for Venezuelans and Haitians should not be terminated, but SCOTUS gives the OK to inflict more harm while they ponder the case. Justice delayed is justice denied.

ICE brutalizing reporters is now a thing. The spiralling of state violence is quick.

Wrong then. Wrong now.
Remember back when some academics were debating whether to call what was happening fascism and whether Trump controlled the Republican Party?

US government is straight up lying to court in an effort to send children back to Guatemala and Honduras. Arizona judge stopped them, for now.

Trump threatens Portland with full force of military. We will see you on the streets with our kombucha, tall bikes, and polycules.

The chart shows that deportations are bipartisan. If you are incensed now, I hope you were similarly upset during Obama's and Biden's terms.

Sad news that she died, but she left us a great legacy as a freedom fighter. Cuba refused efforts by US over many decades to arrest her.

July ICE memo gave OK to send asylum seekers to 3rd countries. 2 wks later DHS Sec. Kristi Noem signed agreements with Guatemala and Honduras to receive such deportees. Now, it seems like DHS is "pretermitting" cases and moving to expedite removals.

Sorry to say that this kind of thing is inevitable given the no holds barred instructions given to ICE.

Outsourcing the dirty work of deporting immigrants into harm’s way has been going on more than a decade in Mexico, but using African countries is a new twist.

Assassinations are bad whether they occur in Utah or in international waters. All such attacks undermine the rule of law and due process.
