Aaron is right, and, what's more, the procedural irregularity Douglas details here shows that not only was that the Trump administration's goal here — but that Jones and Duncan helped them along (if it not directly being their goal as well).
AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past.
It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.

BREAKING: A 5th Circuit panel has backed ICE's mass detention policy, a decision that clears the way for the administration to lock up people who are in immigration proceedings
It's a 2-1 ruling
Majority: Jones (Reagan), Duncan (Trump)
Minority: Douglas (Obama)

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

I have not enjoyed watching the right turn 1984 from a cautionary dystopia into a how-to manual but I am enjoying the fuck out of them turning antifa from a straw man projection into a church basement baseline. This shit is evil and most folks aren’t behind that.

So I watched the shooting video frame by frame and it looks like:
1) They were beating a struggling man with batons
2) His jacket opened revealing a gun in his waistband or lower back
3) The agent in gray grabbed the gun and was walking away
4) THEN the other agents shot the man in the back

there isn’t even an objective to all the chaos and transgression, there are various individuals within the regime who have ideological objectives, but a regime where power is acquired exclusively by flattering the executive, but the executive believes nothing, cannot organize towards clear goals

I think the disconnect between Atlantic elites is that Americans think Donald Trump is a kid getting to drive a monster truck for Make A Wish and Europeans and Canadians think Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

Today is an excellent day to restore Link’s account, as other people who did the exact same thing were only given short suspensions.
He was one of the most positive voices here and he deserves to be reinstated.

I know JD is focused on alienating Europeans and Catholics and he is kicking ass at that BUT WHAT IF they sent him to China with no leash. I mean we could have a hot global conflict before lunch. He’ll survive and write a memoir called Mascara and Mushroom Clouds

So America is at a place where the government is sending whoever it wants to concentration camps wherever it wants with de facto life sentences and that’s not close to biggest crisis Americans are facing from said government. The slippery slope is fucking slippery! That cliche finally seems apt

Why is CBC interviewing a historian who sees trump/zelenski as akin to Reagan/Gorbachev with both trump and Reagan as firm strong leaders standing up to bad behaviour. Just beyond terrible content. Full of lies and spin and no actual history as it applies to Trump. Thanks CBC news network!
