W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Important post. As difficult as increasing the national birth rate is, even increasing it by something like 10% (extremely improbable) would contribute fewer workers longterm than simply maintaining 2023 immigration rates.

Trump told reporters he spoke to Newsom “a day ago.” Newsom came out immediately to deny that they spoke a day ago. Trump gave his call log to Fox News anchor John Roberts. The call log shows they spoke on June 7. Not a day ago.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

If the federal government had the goods on Kilmar Abrego Garcia, they should have prosecuted him consistent with the due process of law and not railroaded him into a dangerous prison despite his protected status. This is a vindictive abuse of the system. Pure and simple.

Toxic to the rule of law, and yet another example of ICE/CBP deliberately not looking for all those supposed criminals, drug traffickers, terrorists, etc. They're going for literally the least dangerous, most law-abiding people they can find, the ones following every rule. The easiest targets.
