"Posse Comitaeus" was established by President Rutherford long ago, but has an exception in the case of an "insurrection". Is this protest in LA an insurrection? No, but Trump just needed to say it was.

One of the clearest ways to tell if the billionaires are in control, is to see if the country taxes billionaires fairly.

Yesterday, it said click on all the images that had cars in them. One of the images had trucks. I did not click on it, being super literal about things. I passed the check.

What the billionaires really don't want is for us to join together, to work together for our mutual benefit. By dividing us, and keeping us desperate, they keep their power over us.

The FBI did not have a legal judicial warrant to enter Judge Hannah Dugan's courtroom. A judge has every right to defend the sanctity of her own courtroom from invasive raids by federal officers.

"Americans can put economic pressure on El Salvador:
People can stop traveling there.
States can divest pension funds invested in companies involved in El Salvador."
-Sen. Chris Van Hollen, re the holding of US resident Abrego Garcia.

I have seen multiple instances where ICE is using a "Wellness check" as a cover story for an abduction attempt. Be aware that no Federal agency will ever legitimately do a "Wellness Check". Those are done by regional health and social service agencies.

Congress has the power to block funding of the $6 million that Trump is giving to El Salvador to hold abducted people from the US.

The road to fascism is lined with people tellling you to stop overreacting.

The statue of liberty has a placard which says, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." That is the America which we have forgotten, and to which we must return.

Cruelty is a fundamental feature of fascist regimes. The idea is to get us accustomed to it. Make it normal. We must never stop calling it out for what it is.

I wonder how bad it has to get before the Republicans in Congress begin to have second thoughts...

A federal judge in Maryland Friday ordered the Trump administration to take immediate steps to return a Maryland man who was deported to a Salvadoran mega-prison by mistake.
"This was an illegal act," U.S. Federal District Judge Paula Xinis told Justice Department lawyers.

A U.S. District Court today just granted a temporary restraining order that restores $11 billion in critical public health funding to state and local public health agencies across the country. This funding had been recently cut without notice by HHS under RFKJr.

Global trade requires skillful use of subtle tools. A fool going at it with a sledgehammer is just not going to succeed. They are going to make a big mess.

Any legal firm which doesn't have the spirit to fight extortion from Trump doesn't have the spirit to fight in court for their clients.

Our colleges and universities must band together to protect academic freedom. Like most extortion, compliance does not grant success. It just leads down a road to further compliance.

Cory Booker should be Senate Democratic leader.

This is the same as the Fascists calling protesters (many Jewish) "antisemitic", while embracing all the elements of an antisemite. They claim to embrace Christianity, while opposing the actual social doctrine of Christianity (helping the poor).

Trump says DEI is discrimination. But the term "DEI discrimination" is an oxymoron. DEI stresses Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion - which are the exact opposite of discrimination. It is a common tactic of fascist movements to use contradiction like this.

Trump is daring the unionized Federal employees to go on strike. That is his goal here. Once on strike, he will fire them.

When tolerance is considered a "Social Contract", then the paradox of tolerance is resolved. A person who breaks the social contract by being intolerant is no longer under the contract.

Boasberg assigned Signal Leak lawsuit

Judge Boasberg is particularly qualified to handle cases involving secrecy and National security. He was a FICA judge, handling warrants for intelligence services. He is no stranger to the proper handling of state secrets.

The most important change that could come from Signal chat leak may be a spotlight on unaccountable communications by Trump admin staff. It is illegal according to Federal Records law to try to hide official communications.

Either Goldberg was added to the Signal chat by incompetence, or he was added by an anti-Trump mole in their midst.
