The civil/military distinction is eroding before our eyes, although I am obligated to mention that the military has been doing logistical assistance for the Border Patrol under every president dating back to the Bush administration. But this is the interior, and more closely entwined with ICE.

Inside the tactics that won Christian vendors the right to reject gay weddings
Opponents accuse Alliance Defending Freedom, the conservative law firm behind a landmark Supreme Court case, of manufacturing lawsuits to advance its agenda during a decade-long battle against laws ba...
No reporting today has mentioned this is an ADF case. But the erosion of rights in the US is a long game by Christian legal advocacy groups with $100M/year and armies of lawyers. ADF and sister groups manufacture cases and brings them to the Supreme Court. And they are now deep in politics too. 2/

The saga of the NYT's anti-Mamdani story taken from notorious white supremacist Jordan Lasker (they call him an "academic") gets even more amazing: Lasker's only impactful paper, which claimed white people are smarter, is infamous: it misused data so badly it got his tenured co-author fired. 2/

Ice director wants to run deportations like ‘Amazon Prime for human beings’
Todd Lyons said he wanted US immigration agency to be ‘like a business’ in its deportation process
I think it's very important to note that when you want to run human misery like a business--a business based on rounding up people to ship them to a country they aren't from to work in forced labor camps--you're a slaver.

@drejoanneliu.bsky.social, the former international president of Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders describes having a talk canceled at New York University last month because some of her presentation discussed Trump cuts to foreign aid and Israel's war on Gaza.
