They're not fascists, they just think we're in a state of exception due to the pollution of the polity and citizen body by undesirable racial elements whose removal is of such paramount importance that it transcends the dictates of the law, justified by their embodiment of the Will of the People.

Let’s see: these firms felt comfortable capitulating to a mob boss, thinking they’d get systematic relief, without considering for a moment that mob bosses stick a needle in your vein and drain everything out until you’ve dug your own grave? Astonishing.

In Trump's America, if you look foreign or are foreign, you can get caught in a dragnet intended to generate high numbers, high profits, and viral moments that juxtapose cruel, beautiful people with cruel, ugly policies. My latest at @thebulwark.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/america-sh...

BROWN: Trump also says he's looking into deporting US citizens who have committed violent crimes. Many legal experts say that's flatly unconstitutional. Do you agree with the president?

This was 100% predictable (and predicted). The big firms that capitulated will cave and do whatever Trump wants. He owns them and will humiliate them for the next 3+ years. If you are a lawyer at one of these firms, leave now with your dignity. If you are a law student -- is this what you want?
