"The promise of the American democratic experiment now resides in the Free States of the Union. They cannot accede to the illegitimate actions of a renegade executive."
Me: take it very seriously, without lapsing into cynicism.

A federal judge just ordered the release of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father from immigration custody — condemning their removal from Minneapolis as unconstitutional.
Judge Fred Biery condemned "the perfidious lust for unbridled power" and "the imposition of cruelty."
