Two small beacons of integrity in a sea of hypocrisy, evil and nihilism. 1. Woman refuses J6 pardon to atone for her actions. 2. Pence, a pariah because of Jan 6, recognizes her integrity. Some people still believe in #integrity.

The judiciary holds. The government cannot detain Abrego Garcia for the reason that "otherwise the government may detain Abrego Garcia." Glad someone remembers Catch-22 and Kafka. #ICE

CBP demands entry to woman's home late at night. Probable cause unlikely. No reason for entry provided. Woman terrified that they would pepper spray or shoot her dog. One officer identified himself as being with Homeland Security Investigations, i.e., #ICE www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report...

#ICE denies prenatal care to pregnant woman, resulting in death. Where are all the pro-lifers at? They are outraged about this violation of the sanctity of human life, right?

Civil Rights attorney documents the terrible conditions the VISITORS are put through at ICE detention centers. 8th Amendment: Excessive bail shall not be required... nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. We will find out that America has mistreated our people horrendously.

This goes back between 2015 and 2020. ICE cannot LEGALLY detain or deport US citizens. How many more have been exiled overseas into foreign gulags in the last 6 months? #ICE

Cool. The US Supreme Court now officially allows the US government to traffic people - often legally present, often guilty of no crime and often without any form of due process - to anywhere in the world. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

I read Sinclair Lewis' "It Can't Happen Here" in 2017, to help me imagine what a homegrown authoritarian takeover of the US might look like. The unaccountable private army ignoring the Constitution was just one of the things in that book that seemed prescient.

Today, I think about the Constitution of the United States. Due process. The First, Fourth, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments: protecting Americans from government overreach. And also the separation of powers. Article I, Section 8, Clause 11: [The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To declare War.
