Govt: (launches radically destructive, poorly conceived, obviously illegal attack on the lives and well-being of countless people)
Plaintiffs: That's unconstitutional and you should stop
Govt: But we've already started! Muh status quo!

It doesnt help that Newsom failed to give his own orders to stand down. Force the soldiers to choose. Legally speaking, it creates a better set of facts for an immediate TRO that shouldnt be stayed

These people are not your friends, they cannot be your colleagues, you cannot accord them respect. You cannot work with them. They will arrest you and, if it comes to that, kill you. Build power so that they donβt dare.

Any investigation into this attack is a waste of time. Those norms were for a different time. What you need to be doing is grinding everything to a halt and taking your chances. You are up against fascism. Act like it.

This isnβt dooming because fascism has been fought and beaten. Thereβs nothing inevitable about it and it is actually a really shitty politics that makes everyoneβs lives miserable. But I think we are beyond the point of seriously debating whether it is here. It is.

CA: Want to direct you to ICE's own photo, docket 39-1, and if this is not domestic law enforcement by military, I don't know what is.
Judge: I will have an order out *very* soon. Hopeful that I can get it out today.

It would be incredibly easy for the administration not to do things that look like this, and it insists upon doing them, again and again and again.

There is *no* sense in which that claim could be true. Universal passports only date to 1920. The organization of the Weberian state with fixed borders and the capacity to control them by force doesn't really exist before 1450. The division of the world into a shared system of states, 1948 or 1648.
