Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

Weeks after Trump picked Long to head the IRS, his campaign got $137K—mostly maxed-out donations. A third came from people with tax legal ties. Long paid himself back. Some donors are linked to shady tax credit schemes he’s promoted.

It’s Time for Jews to Refuse Trump’s ‘Protection’ - New York Magazine. Trump is using the American Jewish community as scapegoats for this deportation of POC and non Christians. He is a bigot who has deep hatred of POC and non Christians, and if he alienates Jews from the rest of society, he wins.

There’s no “right way” to immigrate anymore - Vox. Let’s make this perfectly clear, Trump doesn’t want POC, non Christians or even women immigrants. They must be white, Christian and preferably males.

Looks Like Mussolini, Quacks Like Mussolini - The Atlantic. Trump’s idea of a hero will be a hero, not a heroine, and not a POC. He has no real knowledge of US history, and is too dumb to really understand it.

www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-.... This is what I expect Trump to try next. We are no longer a democracy, but a tyranny run by the MAGA clowns and evil idiots who have no clue what they are doing. They are drunk on power and want to remake US into a Christian Nationalist hell hole.

Trump and Vance fear universities for a reason. This is good article. Before he was nominated, Vance advocated confiscating university endowments and land, after which they can redo the universities to teach what and who they want. They being Conservative Christian Nationalists. Scary time.

U.S. intelligence contradicts Trump’s justification for mass deportations. The only reason for Trump’s mass deportations is the color of their skin or their religion. He is a hater, and we all know that deportations will have an adverse effect on our economy, not to mention tax revenues etc
