I don't care WHO started the education system.
The system was NOT created to educated ENSLAVED AFRICANS.
The "founding fathers" were not concerned with democracy. They were concerned with consolidating power onto themselves, away from the Crown.
The fascists and the oligarchs have gone too far. Theyโve revealed themselves (& been revealed). The world will never forget that they are abusers & democracy destroyers. They have no options now. They went with the coup attempt when it looked like it would save them. It wonโt. Democracy rising.

This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.
Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.
I can now report that Judge Blackwell did not grant Julie Leโs request for a nap, and also noted that, as overwhelmed as she may be, the people who the Trump administration is detaining in violation of court orders have it worse

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. Thatโs why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. Itโs also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.
04.02.2026 20:58 โ ๐ 8548 ๐ 2673 ๐ฌ 124 ๐ 109There are problems with supervision and training that have resulted in immense violence to our communities. That we hear that it is pulling teeth for counsel of record to get her own client to fix these constitutional violations. It should not be pulling teeth to get compliance from the Government with the Constitution. And a question I have for the Court is: Is the party making it impossible for counsel to comply? Are they acting in blatant disregard of court orders so much so that their counsel sees her own self as a bridge between the Court and the party here? That this is not -- this is unprecedented, and we know that counsel for respondents don't have the power to get their clients under control. An e-mail with bold font is not going to change the widespread, systemic pattern of disregard for court orders and honestly
There's an e-mail in that Docket 29 that I sent eight days ago to ERO, to attorneys from the DOJ, the Assistant U.S. Attorneys and attorneys representing ICE, Jim Stolley; still haven't received a response. I'm begging for a means of clear communication, and I'm flexible. I'm sharing my personal cell phone. I'm saying, Whatever I can do to work with you all to get my clients home, let me know; to work with you all to get my clients' belongings returned, let me know, and I receive no response. And I think just this question of the overwork of counsel here -- and I know we're all working above and beyond and not sleeping as much as we need to be, so I appreciate everybody for putting that effort in. And I invite the Court to think about the root cause of the problem, the root cause of our collective overwork here and the strain on our system with these repeated, repeated constitutional violations.
Eventually, counsel for the detained individuals gets their say. Among many other thoughtful things, they suggest that DHS is making it impossible to comply with the Court's orders and discuss the extreme efforts they had to go through to get anything from the other side.

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.
