Just me, desperately trying to keep a lid on the cynical panic I've been in since the After Days began (circa 2016). Name's Emily. Nice to meet you

It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to
plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees. The government suggests โ€” with minimal explanation and even less evidence โ€” that doing so would result in "chaos." The Constitution does not permit the government to arrest thousands of individuals and then disregard their constitutional rights because it would be too challenging to honor those rights. 14
At this preliminary stage, Plaintiffs have made a clear showing of likelihood of
success on their Fifth Amendment claim.

Seattle, that oh-so-dangerous place, had a Super Bowl celebration with close to one million lining downtown streets and the City Center yesterday. Authorities and local media reported NO major incidents or arrests at the event.

Fuck Donald Trump's narrative about dangerous, crime-ridden cities.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, weโ€™ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeโ€”all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

The potential foreign agent was Saudi foreign agent Jared Kushner.

I mean, I was betting on Roger Stone but this is actually far more problematic.
