“A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our past and present policies.
On the one hand we are called to play the good Samaritan on life’s roadside; but that will be only an initial act.

The DOJ has decided not to pursue a criminal civil rights investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Good. Instead, the department has shifted its investigative focus toward Minnesota officials, including Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. Living in the upside down.
Justice department ‘not investigating’ Renee Good killing in contrast to 2020 inquiry on George Floyd death
In 2020, Trump DoJ investigated police killing of Floyd in Minneapolis, leading to four officers’ convictions

“Nearly half of all Americans now live in a state where it’s harder to protest than it was eight years ago."
When all protest is terrorism
The groundwork for Trump's free speech crackdown was laid by the War on Terror.

If a Democratic president had done something like this, Fox and the GOP would have turned Adriana Camberos into a household name à la Willie Horton or, yes, Hunter Biden.

.@PabloReports: Stephen Miller seems to be operating sort of as a shadow president at this point. Is there any legal liability he could face at the end of this presidency?

Ryan: There’s going to be legal—and I think criminal—liability for multiple members.. certainly Stephen Miller.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

This is exactly the opposite.

Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

@washingtonpost.com why did you fail to report on the US invasion of Venezuela & kidnapping of Nicolás Maduro when it could have saved lives. What specific reasons do you give for the delay in publishing information you had received, & did the legality of US actions play any role in your decisions?
