Efforts to paint the moments we're in as “anti-American” while romanticizing US history and its foundations do not dig us out of fascism; they dig us deeper in. Tell the truth about how this country came to be and what it is now, or expect more problems.

Salient line from Kant's Universal History:
Everything in the large is woven together out of folly, childish vanity, often also out of childish malice and the rage to destruction, so that in the end one does not know what concept to make of our species, with its smug imaginings about its excellences

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

With this vote, Congress makes ICE the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in history, with more money per year at its disposal over the next four years than the budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, US Marshals, and Bureau of Prisons combined.

Important that this "interruption" came after the secretary had literally declared war on Californians' right to self governance
Looks like the immediate NYTs reaction is to blame it on Padilla, so that's awesome

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

One of my favorite things about Michael was that once he'd really get rolling in lecture he'd just close his eyes and speak for like 10-15 minutes on something before opening them again, as if he were moving around in pure logical space
Michael Friedman has passed away at just 77.
Michael had the sharpest and most comprehensive intellect I've ever known. He was also a good friend.
He spent his final years contemplating Kant's theology and moral philosophy - may he find timeless peace in the ultimate unity of freedom and nature!
