This is much the same logic as arresting the judge in WI. There is obviously nothing wrong with asking law enforcement, including masked officials, to confirm they are, in fact, law enforcement. The goal is to create an absolutely subservient population.

I am so over the media's framing of these kinds of issues. Who effing cares if the Trump administration wants to "make" Canada a state? The correct framing here is: "Is the United States' position that it will no longer be adhere to international law when it comes to Canada?"

ICE is now asserting it's a federal crime for bystanders to request that masked people in plain clothes show identification as they're handcuffing folks and stuffing them into unmarked vans.

good conversation about why democrats have got to stop treating "the border" as a toxic sideshow, best avoided. it cannot be avoided. the border, it turns out, is where fundamental questions of citizenship and the rule of law come to a head--and if not resolved there inevitably spread everywhere

No one has ever asked me to talk about current immigration politics/policies, the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, and then draw parallels between the two until @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com came along with the request inspired by a previous @jamellebouie.net 's convo. How could I not do it?

Good comprehensive summary, which makes it clear that negotiations were NOT the main goal of these tariffs, no matter what Bessent says. They just scrambled to pretend deals were the goal after the bond markets freaked out over the "reciprocal" tariffs

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

“The statement that was agreed on is far from radical, focusing on opposition to “undue government intrusion in the lives of those who learn, live and work on our campuses,” but it was significant in that it represented an unusually broad consensus among the disparate members.”

The U.S. Coast Guard is one of America's six armed forces and the only military branch in the DHS, in peacetime.. it can be transferred to the U.S. Navy, if need be, during wartime. One part of DHS raided another dept of DHS!!

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed. He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments. If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.
