We’re headed into back to school season and we as a country have dramatically underfunded our teachers. Many have made wish lists for school supplies. If you’re feeling like you can’t do anything to stop ALL OF THIS, maybe donate and put a little love and joy into the world and make some kids happy.

With the expansion of ICE, Americans have “reason to be alarmed,” says Lucan Way. Joyce Vance warns that “Congress needs to … wake up to the fact that it needs to play its role in setting institutional boundaries and imposing limits on a runaway executive branch, before it's too late.”
'Blatantly unconstitutional’: democracy professor on ICE tactics
ICE targeting students who have criticized the Trump administration is “blatantly unconstitutional,” warns professor of democracy Lucan Ahmad Way. “You can't simply racially profile or profile people based on their national origin and start pulling them off the streets,” says Joyce Vance. “That, by definition, is a police state.” With an explosion of new funding for ICE, as part of the GOP’s megabill, there’s yet more reason to be alarmed. With a rapid expansion of ICE, the danger, says Vance, “is that the people in charge are no longer the career officials with training who understand loyalty to the Constitution. These are quite literally people who understand loyalty to Donald Trump.”

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him?
KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

What an asshole.
Wow.
Town hall audience on Republicans’ Medicaid and SNAP cuts: “People are going to die.”
Republican senator smirks: “Well, we all are going to die.”

Math doesn't lie.
AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

What the hell happened to justice?
So, according to SCOTUS, the Trump admin can ship a person to a foreign gulag w/o due process of any kind, just so long as they have “access to due process” while detained in said foreign gulag, which of course they won’t.
And MAGA actually thinks this shit will stop with people they don’t like?

Noticed that that Axios is now pushing the miracle of beef tallow - to rub on your body, cook to stay healthy. You know another name for beef tallow? Lard. Mmm. Good and healthy. Not technically the same. Ones from beef, the other is from pork. But more or less the same. People are weird.
