It’s the way his voice broke when he said “imagine what they’re doing to farmworkers” 😣😣 As the granddaughter of migrant farmworkers and an immigration expert, I have this exact fear. They’re kidnapping and abusing our loved ones. How else are we expected to respond? Thank you, @padilla.senate.gov

Hey ICE agents and CBP officers, have you noticed that some of your friends are wearing American flags with little pictures of skulls on them? Huh. What do you make of that? www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/i...

Screen grab from that video shows the CBP officer wearing a Punisher logo. “Are we the baddies?” No, seriously. There is no excuse for wearing a damn Totenkopf.

Candidly, as a civ-mil watcher, this scene at Bragg is freaking me out more than anything else that's happened so far. Just an absolute collapse of professional military norms.

It’s a dangerous moment. Trump is saying political opponents as enemies who must be confronted by force.

Trump, talking at Fort Bragg right now about Los Angeles, is doing something I'm not sure I've ever seen a president do: he's actively maligning people in Los Angeles — an American city — in front of U.S. troops. And the troops are applauding. As an Army brat myself, this strikes me as very new.

@mjsdc.bsky.social The strategy seems to be to frivolously charge opponents. David Huerta (SEIU) was charged under 18 USC 372 for what appears to be peaceful picketing. Since 18 USC 372 requires "force, intimidation, or threat," I doubt it goes anywhere. But what to do in the face of this strategy?

This is big: Chief Judge Boasberg GRANTS class certification to the men unlawfully renditioned to El Salvador in March under the Alien Enemies Act, orders Trump administration to offer up a plan to facilitate their obtaining habeas relief. Here's how the ruling begins: With a nod to Kafka.

Kagan is completely right. Using the shadow docket to OVERRULE nearly a century precedent is an extraordinary act.

The first thing a lawyer would do is assess whether the stated reason the employee was fired was legitimate and non-discriminatory. Here, the stated reason is laughable nonsense. They couldn’t even bother to come up with a reason that passes the smell test. This *should* have legal significance.

It's worth noting that, as in other matters, the government is complaining in AFGE v. Trump that it can't meet deadlines in related cases "[d]ue to the overlap of government personnel working on both cases and the limited resources available..." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Tim Cook really burned any good will he may have had when he attended the Trump inauguration, but I really didn't expect to ever read about him willfully disobeying a court order. According to the court, "Cook chose poorly." www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

The affidavit references a "back jury door," a "jury door," a "backdoor of the courtroom," and a "non-public door near the courtroom's jury box." Is this all the same door? Why characterize it in so many different ways? Is it just the door to the jury room, which then leads to the public hallway?

This also (obviously) completely undermines the basis for sending anyone to CECOT. The actual suspected criminals get held for trial in the United States.

For any American who believes in the legacy of Dr, King and everything he fought for, wake up now.

The president purports to essentially erase the concept of disparate impact liability from civil rights law.
