They're seizing ballots.
Raiding homes without warrants.
Gunning down protestors in the streets.
And now, arresting journalists.

They’re coming for our freedoms. America, stand up while you still can.

Canadians, keep the pressure on businesses that collaborate with foreign authoritarian regimes.

It works.

Individually we may not be able to do much, but collectively, well, at least that's one less concentration camp.

It’s obvious that the current regime intends to sweep the execution style murder of Alex Pretti by ice domestic terrorists under the rug! This is also true of Renee Good.

Every republikkkan is complicit in these abhorrent actions of ice sanctioned murders! Vote them all OUT!

Excellent commentary by the Brennan Center of the extortion letter sent by AG Bondi to Minnesota’s governor demanding the voter rolls in exchange for deescalating the occupation of Minnesota by ice domestic terrorists.

Republicans are responsible for all of this! Vote them all OUT!

Lindsey Graham blocked the DHS spending deal because it repealed a law letting senators sue if their phone records were accessed.

Guess all he wants is the money.

Mike Johnson said the earliest the House could act would be Monday.

The Legal Academy’s Leading Originalists Remain Breathtakingly Full of Shit The conservative lawyers filing amicus briefs in the birthright citizenship case are making it very clear that there is only some β€œhistory” they care about.

Back on my bullshit--talking about how originalism is bullshit--because why, as an "originalist" are you filing Supreme Court briefs supporting Trump's attempt to revoke the Constitution's guarantee of birthright citizenship?

(I know why)

Judgments about fact and fiction by children from religious and nonreligious backgrounds - PubMed In two studies, 5- and 6-year-old children were questioned about the status of the protagonist embedded in three different types of stories. In realistic stories that only included ordinary events, all children, irrespective of family background and schooling, claimed that the protagonist was a real …

You are right. We are here and not going back. And the scariest part is a large portion can’t tell fact from fiction. Thanks religion!

there's this new dynamic where the DOJ cannot win in court and is (relatedly) incapable of meeting the minimum threshold of professional legal conduct, and so an increasing percentage of its actions are purely for intimidation and content

Jesus Christ. The "pivot" lasted about 15 minutes.

Arresting a black journalist under the Ku Klux Klan Act for covering a pro-immigration protest at a Christian nationalist church led by an ICE officer is the perfect encapsulation of this administration's authoritarianism, racism, and trolling.

Federal officials confirm taking 4 people into ICE custody in Ypsilanti - CBS Detroit Federal authorities have confirmed that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement took four people into custody earlier this week in Ypsilanti.
