Stenography is a highly refined skill and one that is almost invaluable in legal proceedings. These fucks are treating it like it's just fancy notetaking that can be better performed by a machine. Fuck this noise.

ICE agents pulled this guy out of his car and beat the shit out of him, putting him in the E.R. Then they pulled him out of the hospital saying he was a "violent gang member." (He's a Doordash driver with only a traffic ticket on his record.) Now he's just...gone. What a nightmare.

ED quietly signed agreements to transfer career and technical education grants to the Department of Labor and to send collections on defaulted loans to Treasury (instead of the Small Business Administration). This is held up in court at this point, and the moves may face additional lawsuits.

IMPORTANT: Judge Farbiarz DOES issue an injunction barring ICE from detaining Mr. Khalil on the basis of the Rubio determination. However, because ICE is ALSO detaining him on allegations that he made material misrepresentations on his green card application, that doesn't mean immediate release.

A pop-up shop that sells pro-Trump and other conservative-coded memorabilia, was set up on-site with campaign-style merchandise on Army property. Soldiers were seen purchasing "Make America Great Again" chain necklaces and faux credit cards labeled "White Privilege Card: Trumps Everything."

Absent the invocation of Insurrection Act, I don't see how this doesn't violate Posse Comitatus. Detaining people pending the arrival of civilian law enforcement is supporting civilian law enfcmt. Neither s12406 nor POTUS' claimed Art II power extends beyond protecting fed property/functions.

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.”
