Another huge story from today. An unknown number of people admitted through the CBP One program with a one-year grant of humanitarian parole got messages today telling them they have to leave the country within 7 days.

I'm seeing reports about these messages all over my listservs today. These people's lives are now upended. They likely have nowhere to go. If they stay, the govt knows where they are & they have to worry they'll be thrown in prison. And these are people who we welcomed as a humanitarian gesture. 😞

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.
