so for those keeping tally, so far today we had:
SCOTUS re-firing an agency head a lower court had reinstated
trump saying domestic violence is nbd
trump's pedophilia celebration birthday card to Epstein released
SCOTUS green lighting racial profiling and "papers, please" policing

This is important. The first 24 hours of press coverage fumbled the ball. But the US just murdered 11 people in international waters. Analogies to the USβs (highly suspect, morally and legally) targeted killings of suspect terrorists donβt work. This crossed their own lines, and they know it.

If masked individuals in unmarked vehicles kidnap a Dallas resident while refusing to present a badge, proper agency identification or a judicial warrant, would you be willing to arrest those individuals in order to protect Dallas residents?
After being obstructed by the city attorney's office in June, the Dallas Police Oversight Board expects new police chief Daniel Comeaux to attend our September meeting at city hall to discuss collaboration with DHS and ICE.
This is one of the questions I submitted in advance today.

one of the things about the modern carceral society is that while crime is near its all-time lows, the prison population is not. one reason is that things like thisβwhich were barely crimes for most of this country's historyβare now charged as felonies.

This is what fascism looks like β masked agents arriving, uninvited, at a governorβs event to intimidate a political rival. The idea that the Border Patrol would accept such a nakedly authoritarian assignment six months into the Trump admin should terrify us.

3 individuals in the US have (hoard) more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population combined. One of those 3 just spent $274m to buy an election. This, folks, is an oligarchy.

Chris 100% correct, per usual.
The Right will use everything to divide us: race, religion, gender, etc, but this is all an intentional distraction. The true battle, where conflict actually persists, is between the working class and ruling class, or as Molly Ivins said, the top and the bottom

Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson says city will help deport undocumented migrants accused of crimes
During an interview Wednesday on Fox News, Dallas' mayor also suggested there needed to be stricter security at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Just to be clear, this weird MAGA turncoat can't unilaterally direct the police or any other city department to deport anyone. Dallas is a council-manager city and he's one vote on the council. There are only 2-3 Trumpers on the entire 15-person council.
