"By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to April's breeze unfurled, Here once the embattled farmers stood And fired the shot heard 'round the world." 250 years ago today the American Revolution began. Now it is our turn to stand and fight for liberty. 🇺🇸

The interesting thing is that according to our own Justice Department, MS-13 began restricting tattoos (c. 2015) on its members precisely bc law enforcement was using them to ID them. Members have to get permission, which means fewer people would have them over last decade

The thing is, if we give up the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, we just lose our liberty completely. This is a situation where civil society needs to be in a state of constant struggle because the moment we stand down we can be picked off one by one just like in the Niemoller poem.

An absolute must-read from @stevevladeck.bsky.social this morning: “Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.”

Coercively demanding somebody sign something in a language they can't even read, and refusing to tell them what it is, is such openly Kafkaesque authoritarianism. These people are not a government, they are a criminal enterprise, much more accurately described as "gang members" than their victims.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

1. As part of his dangerous anti-vaxx crusade, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert Kennedy Jr. spread horrific lies about autistic people by saying they “will never pay taxes.

This is a legal trainwreck. Florida made it a crime to be an unauthorized immigrant in the state. Sounds like no big deal to some. But what it does in actuality is allow police to arrest people they perceive as immigrants. Here's how that goes. More below. oklahomavoice.com/2025/04/17/u...
