“Are you worried?” That is always the first question. “Of course I am worried,” I respond. “The president of the United States considers me an enemy and has promised retribution. I would be an idiot not to be worried. But I am not going to give in. I will continue to fight.”

The United States is no longer a nation under the rule of law. I urge Canadians to avoid travel. Illegal detentions and kidnapping by ICE have become all too common for travellers and those with working VISAs. Stay away at this time. boingboing.net/2025/03/20/d...

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites. Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

Biden deported many more while "following the law". Try doing it accordingly.

"It’s the principle that Democrats are wholly unwilling to fight on the same playing field as Republicans. It’s that we seem forever doomed to be the party that allows the parliamentarian to shut down our entire agenda, while the Republicans won’t even let the US Constitution shut down theirs."

Other presidents have been frustrated by court rulings they didn't like but recognized the importance of abiding by decisions. When the Supreme Court ruled against Bush 43 in a war-on-terror case, he was urged to overrule the justices but refused, as reported in "Days of Fire."

Senator Jeff Merkley on the backlash against Chuck Schumer for capitulating on the CR: "I think they will be hugely upset, and well-justified. You don't stop the bully by handing over your lunch money, and you don't stop an authoritarian president by giving him more power."

Everything Trump is doing with Palestinians, Venezuelan and Muslim immigrants are test cases for broad authoritarian rule. Americans don't realize he'll come after them as well. We never learn.

Openly ignoring and defying the Judiciary. Breaking his oath to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States. Granting himself unchecked power. This is authoritarianism.

I could write up why there’s no constitutional problem with the President using an auto-pen to sign official documents—or I could just post the 30-page 2005 opinion by George W. Bush’s Office of Legal Counsel that explains why in lots of detail. I choose the latter: www.justice.gov/file/494411/...
