John Q. Public

A crowd of children confronted ICE agents and the agents struggled to contain the crowd.

They’ll crumble under an Amerimaidan.

Remember: I promise you that you do not hate these people enough.

This *is* the worst case scenario, and we're only ten months into it. We cannot let the rest of it happen, but I don't know how.

If all else fails…

Soon…

Soon…

If torture camps for ethnic minorities won’t wake us from our collective slumber then I’m not sure what will

I’m fairly confident that our Amerimaidan moment will happen when we get leaked footage of this stuff.

You thought the reaction to video evidence of George Floyd’s death was bad? You haven’t seen anything yet.

bring back shame, combat vice signaling

“Gosh, everything is so female-coded these days,” he says—attempting to make conversation with the hostess who just lost her job at USAID.

Also, if Republican men aren’t being invited to said dinner parties, there’s *a reason* they’re not being invited to said dinner parties. They should probably do a little self-reflection.

Republican men long for the days of the mid-century house parties (traditionally hosted by women) but will dismiss the discourse on metro-centric dinner parties (the article below is an example) as female-coded and beneath them.

Anyway, the article is a good read. And I do miss DC dinner parties.

"Individual liberty" is when conservatives decide everything. Their concept of liberty is just domination, not freedom to do what they want, but freedom to force everyone else to do what they want. bsky.app/profile/donm...

Speaking of, I saw this truck in Manhattan a few weeks back (picture not mine)

Dead ass, it’s freezing

I think a large part of this that there's this sense that the provincially minded broke whatever implicit truce existed and are now attempting to burn down universities because they had to see a gay person on TV.

I'm developing a kind of cosmopolitan-chauvinism, I guess you could call it anti-feudalism, as a through line in my politics. The peasant-brained and the local landed gentry are the enemy. Sort of funny that this could describe being either rabidly capitalist or communist.

The Oligarchs Who Came to Regret Supporting Hitler They helped him in pursuit of profit. Many ended up in concentration camps.

Quite a lot, actually

The Atlantic has also written about this

I don’t think this regime goes on long enough for them to figure that out, though

Didn’t Orwell say something about capitalists naturally preferring fascism to socialism in 20th-century Europe?

Probably common sense but it’s comforting to know others, like Orwell, saw the cowardice of big business too.

Are you well? Do you smell burnt toast?

I want capital to understand what is happening here.

A company with much more capital offered a higher bid than a rival bidder was willing or able to match.

Now the rival bidder is attempting to undercut the deal with a worse price on grounds of ideology and closeness with a lawless regime.

Emil Bove, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, declare under penalty of perjury as follows: 1. I am submitting this declaration in response to the court's November 28, 2025 order. ECF No. 196. 2. On March 15, 2025, I was serving as DOJ's Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General. I left that role at DOJ in late-August 2025. DOJ has not authorized me to disclose privileged information in this declaration. 3. Beginning during the morning of March 15, 2025, and throughout that weekend, I monitored developments related to this case. 4. On the evening of March 15, 2025, I was aware of statements by the court during proceedings that day, the court's minute entries, and other public filings on the docket sheet. See, e.g., ECF No. 195 1 3.

Case 1:25-cv-00766-JEB Document 199 Filed 12/08/25 Page 2 of 2 5. Based on my evaluation of those materials, I contributed to privileged legal advice provided to the Secretary of Homeland Security on March 15, 2025—by communicating with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and Acting DHS General Counsel Joseph Mazzara- regarding the transfer of custody of aliens who had been detained pursuant to the Alien Enemies Act and removed from the United States. See ECF No. 195 1 4. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Dated: December 5, 2025 /s/ Emil Bove Honorable Emil Bove Circuit Judge U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit

NEW: Emil Bove — former DOJ official turned Third Circuit judge — files declaration in ongoing contempt inquiry by Judge Boasberg re: Alien Enemies Act planes.

Bove says he isn’t authorized to disclose privileged information.

FWIW DOJ still has not appealed the ruling disqualifying Halligan, nor have they appealed the Third Circuit ruling disqualifying Alina Habba on similar grounds (and nor did they respond to my request for comment about whether they plan to appeal)

I don’t know that I’d call it succeeding
