Through all his troubles, neither the DOJ/FBI nor any state authorities ever subjected Donald Trump to arrest, preferring in every case to proceed by indictment and voluntary surrender. It’s notable that a sitting judge and pillar of the Milwaukee community was not extended the same courtesy.

This is crazy. ICE didn’t have event have a warrant to arrest the guy! The judge asked for it and they said “we have an administrative warrant” (not a real warrant). She told them to kick rock and now the FBI is charging her with obstruction the arrest ‼️

Awful. Horrible. I don’t know if this judge did anything wrong. But I can say that if this Admin insists on disappearing migrants to foreign gulags in violation of court orders, more & more ppl will feel compelled to thwart ICE. www.jsonline.com/story/news/b...

Donald Trump ordered the Department of Justice to investigate the leading platform through which Democrats raise money for their campaigns. Less that 100 days in, Trump is weaponizing DOJ to prevent his political opponents from funding opposition campaigns. Where is the outrage?

The level of criminality in the Republican Party is off the charts. Trump just pardoned a Nevada politician who raised money for a statue of a slain police officer but spent it on cosmetic surgery instead. Trump gives his co-conspirators a license to steal.

This is appalling, and all the more reason for Episcopalians to lift up Pauli’s memory, especially on July 1, Pauli’s day on our calendar of saints. Pauli’s life embodied our baptismal promise to respect the dignity of every human being. Trump & co say and do the very opposite. ⚓️

To put a finer point on it. Trump’s contention isn’t just that he can deport people without them appearing before a judge, but that he can render them into a life sentence in a foreign dungeon with no process whatsoever.

No, you really don't "have to ask yourself" this. The right to criticize the government, even for lawful policies (let alone what Trump is trying to do), is not just central to the First Amendment's protection of free speech; it is one of the most critically important features of any democracy.
