Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Authoritarianism doesn’t announce itself. It arrives wrapped in β€œsecurity,” β€œorder,” and β€œlaw enforcement.” Minneapolis is being used as a proving ground. If we don’t stop this now, we may not get another chance.

Law enforcement uses 'reasonable suspicion' to make arrests, as protected under the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Supreme Court has already vindicated us on this position.
A person's immigration status makes them a target for enforcement, not their skin color, race or ethnicity.

DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account.

I suspect some owners aren't ego-driven to win, that instead they're driven mainly by greed. That they care little about fielding a winning baseball club and more about seeing their investment in a legal monopoly appreciate many times over.

This is how far you have to scroll on the NYTimes homepage to get any coverage of what's going on day-to-day in an occupied American city where schools are closing because the government is checking the papers of all brown or Asian people then brutalizing, imprisoning or killing them.

@nytopinion.nytimes.com: how about commissioning a piece that visualizes the March 24, 1945, War Department pamphlet with, say, callouts finding manifestations of fascism in the U.S. today.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was β€œunanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Here's another hot take: it has all been accumulating, quietly for most people, and while we're not a rational society, we'll veer back toward decency.

Every season in Milwaukee is beautiful, but there's something special about what the cold does to our lake, our rivers, our land, and the air all around us. Even if you're longing for a tropical vacation, try to take a look around soak in the serenity of our winter months…

Michigan House cancels $645M in state spending without Senate OK - Bridge Michigan Through an arcane section of state law, the Republican-controlled state House scrapped hundreds of millions in ongoing spending on state projects. Democrats called the process β€˜corrupt.’

Heartless in the Heartland: MI GOP cuts $18.5M from cash grants for new moms and $56,600 from a wigs-for-cancer-patients program. Part of a $645M cut in state funding from ongoing projects, in a rare move. Calls it good governance. bridgemi.com/michigan-gov...
