Well. That's interesting.

I guess Pam trying to avoid going to jail later for lying to Congress.

โ€œ.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..โ€

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker explains what he believes is Donald Trump's real goal in normalizing a military presence in U.S. cities by dressing ICE and Border Patrol agents in military gear.

States need to provide legal protection & backup for National Guard who refuse illegal orders to deploy.
The more they know they will be protected & fought for, the easier it becomes to refuse.
We need to encourage it, there is already pushback & we need to create room for lots more b/c we need it.

How ICE Hides Detainees From Their Lawyers โ€˜It seems like cruelty is the point,โ€™ one attorney said.

ICE abducts people and then immediately moves them around to prevent access to lawyers and habeas corpus petitions. @emmarjanssen.bsky.social has the story on this consistent game being played to frustrate due process.

This is a fact.

These ICE clowns are , by and large, doughy, uneducated dolts with minimal training and delusions of grandeur.

SO GET IN THE STREETS.

Every Dem Congressperson should be on the ground where this fascist bullshit is going down.

Some of you are saying that because of NSPM-7, you're blanking out your social media accounts and going to ground.

Has it occurred to you that \the intent behind issuing this gigantic, unconstitutional, and unenforceable thing was to get you to do exactly that?

Genuinely baffled as to where Stephen Miller thinks he's going to end up.

Trump is going to die of illness/age before too long.

What does Miller think happens after that?

This is 100% correct and the sooner @govpritzker.illinois.gov and other affected governors realize this, the better.

Governor, YOU are the head of the executive within your sphere. Behave like it.

Opinion | Trumpโ€™s โ€˜Compactโ€™ With Universities Is Just Extortion There seems to be no limit to the presidentโ€™s odious attempts to control higher education.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

Trumpโ€™s proposed โ€œcompactโ€ with nine major universities โ€œis extortion, plain and simple,โ€ Erwin Chemerinsky writes in a guest essay. โ€œIt is not hyperbole to say that the future of higher education in America requires that every university reject it.โ€

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil.

The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage.

Unfit for Office Donald Trumpโ€™s narcissism makes it impossible for him to carry out the duties of the presidency in the way the Constitution requires.

"Trump is having 'episodes of what would be called outright lunacy, if they occurred in any other setting,' and โ€ฆ if he 'were in virtually any other position of responsibility, action would already be under way to remove him from that role.'"
