ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.
A judge has ordered his immediate release.

The near daily barrage of deadly mass shootings in America feels like low level warfare against normal citizens who just want to live in peace. And because people keep electing Republicans who wonβt do anything about it thereβs no solution in sight.

The so-called βconservativeβ party - the one that claims to believe in limited government & hyperventilates constantly about the SOCIALISM of the radical leftist Democrats - now supports coercing government ownership stakes from private corporations & having control over their personnel decisions.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. Itβs like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Letβs get a grip on whatβs happening here.

What America is going through is not unusual in historical terms. Plenty of examples like it today elsewhere in the world.
What makes it unusual is the rapid collapse from a set of widely espoused norms and values that centered on liberty. It is the sacking of the shining city on hill that shocks.

Let's say it again:
1) Harvard said "No," and Trump has backed off.
2) Chicago (and Illinois) said "No," and Trump has backed off.
