Uncle Adolf was appointed chancellor only 5 months before—and moved quickly to redefine citizenship as a first step to everything after.

He understood the significance of controlling citizenship and access to (or denial of) claims on the state for protection of rights.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Bad idea

Migrants criminally charged after failing to register with U.S. government Prosecutors are criminally charging unauthorized immigrants who have not signed up on a little-known government registry. Some judges rejected the charges.

If only we had experience from the past century to tell us what it means when a government goes out of its way to revive out-of-date or obscure statutes as part of a political program persecuting a vulnerable group previously targeted by its propaganda.

US goods imports drop 19.8% in April — largest on record

Meanwhile, Kennedy cancelled >$700 million contract with Moderna to finish testing an mRNA bird flu vaccine which we’re going to need if there’s a pandemic. Covid was easy mode compared to a bird flu that spreads among humans.

Antivaxx and libertarianism are the same--they can exist only when the majority of the population buys in to what it takes to live in a society, allowing the minority to think they are outsiders thriving on their own exceptionalism.

You will not be able to afford an iPhone. You will own 2 dolls. You will work in a factory. And you will be happy about it. That is actually the MAGA platform right now. What a wild time to be alive.

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.

When profits speak louder than principles, humanity pays the ultimate price.

How many Republicans have spoken out against Trump's threat to suspend habeas corpus?

How many Republicans have spoken out against Trump's "gift" from Qatar?

How many Republicans--and other Republican-adjacent elites--put the Constitution above Trump?

The sad answer: vanishingly close to zero.

Marco Rubio Lied Let's dissect the Secretary of State's lies about Tufts graduate student Rümeysa Öztürk -- and the cost of those lies.

Trump Picks a ‘MAHA’ Movement Leader for Surgeon General The president said he would nominate Dr. Casey Means, a California doctor and wellness influencer, to be the next surgeon general.

“When it comes to .. raw milk, I want to be free to form a relationship with a local farmer, look him in the eyes, pet his cow, and then decide if I feel safe to drink the milk from his farm.”

— Casey Means, Trump’s latest surgeon-general nominee.
