I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

RFK Jr. Questions Efficacy Of Skin WASHINGTON—In a firm dismissal of decades of scientific research and real-world data on the organ’s benefits and safety, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. publicly questioned t...

“Everything we know about skin has been learned from so-called scientific studies funded by large corporations who have a financial stake in keeping our musculature covered in an unnecessary layer of man-made flesh,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Read this whole astonishing document. it should be taught as an object lesson in what volunteering to assist a fascist government does to your mind, body, and soul.

YouTube video by KARE 11 Aliya Rahman: ICE agent said “TOO LATE” before dragging her from car, she says

I recommend watching the entirety of this testimony by Aliza Rahman, a disabled person with a brain injury dragged from her car and confined by DHS officers for no apparent reason. It’s not just about her experience but the racist context of this whole “law enforcement” effort.

Going to just start calling RFK Jr. “Big Measle.”

I, for one, think measles is very bad and the RFK Jr.’s of the world deserve a place in hell for allowing it to spread once again.

Rich men stripping the institutions of the country for parts.

Is there anyone who remains extremely bullish on the “will theory” of rights as opposed to the “interest theory”? Asking for a friend.

Some people are asking what I want Schumer to do. He should be screaming over medical care and access to facilities. He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]

My proposal for state capitalism is uniform dimensions for tupperware containers and lids.

An entrancing world of sick—but rich—men that is only a fading memory, washing away like tears in rain.

Never forget NYT pedophile ring nostalgia headline

ICE Was Terrorizing Worshipers Long Before Don Lemon Entered a Church Let’s take a stroll through the last year.

Yeah. When the administration shooting clergy in the face with less lethal munitions is outraged about "religious freedom," we should maybe take their indignation with a fistful of salt.

A lot going on here, but off the top: rest assured that when the Trump Admin invokes “Tren de Aragua” it’s just a scary sounding term for “immigrants” or “brown people.”

Also, wasn’t aware that ICE had authority to enforce state property law.

Not one but two toy airplanes on the president’s desk.

Friends and enemies, Carl Schmitt, etc. etc.

Well, you hate *some* of the people on the inside

Might be better to do this to like Trump v. US to show people how batshit it is.

Annotating the Judge’s Decision in the Case of Liam Conejo Ramos, a 5-Year-Old Detained by ICE Our critic annotates the barbed wordplay of a decision challenging the Trump administration’s theory of executive power.

It’s a powerful order but I don’t think anyone needed the NYT’s talmudic exegesis to figure it out.

This entire answer from Mike Johnson — the speaker of the House and a lawyer — must be seen.

It is fundamentally wrong on both points: as to administrative warrants (which need not be signed by immigration judges) and as to judicial warrants (which are not "new" for authorizing home entry).

Jeff Epstein, the financier?

It’s bleakly funny that the Republicans are inventing a process that sounds marginally more fair because the current practice is so facially lawless (immigration judges don’t issue warrants).

For the dinosaurs or for Jeff Goldblum?

Again “get a warrant” is a constitutional message most Americans can get behind. This is good politics and as well as constitutional law.
