Imagine organizing a counter halftime show solely to protest someone who doesn’t look, talk or think like you and then during your lip-synced dumpster fire telling everyone to dust off their Bible and heed the words of someone who doesn’t look, talk or think like you.

Something I think a lot of people aren't clear on, Liam's parents have followed the legal process of claiming asylum. They are here LEGALLY.
Liam was being used to try to lure someone ELSE out of the house. He and his father were taken because that failed.
Now ... they seek revenge.

Apparently the FBI's Epstein redaction machine was set to redact "don't" (Don T) for some reason. That would appear to run afoul of The Epstein Files Transparency Act (H.R. 4405)

As high-profile people attempt to defend their connections to the most notorious child trafficker and child rapist of all time, this is a good reminder that it actually never was difficult to not associate with a pedophile sex criminal

This is the authoritarian tell:
If a judge rules against your preferred outcome, declare the judge illegitimate.
If that mindset takes hold, courts stop being guardrails and become targets.
Democracy cannot survive a government that believes the law only counts when it wins.

Republicans literally took DC to the Supreme Court to overturn its handgun ban, and won in a landmark decision.
Pirro: "You bring a gun into the District, you mark my words, you're going to jail. I don't care if you have a license in another district and I don't care if you're a law abiding law owner somewhere else. You bring a gun into this District, count on going to jail. And that makes all the difference"

Muslim university students were arrested and expelled for protesting genocide. Let's see if college Republicans get even a slap on the wrist for advocating extrajudicial killings.
University of Illinois college republicans advocate for executing protesters as “traitors” with art that takes a disturbing killing and makes it even more extreme.

Burn it all down.
This level of disgusting racism and cruelty didn’t exist in a vacuum, and it didn’t end with Epstein.

“JEFF wanted, ‘young, fresh meat girls. Virgins.’ He told ■, ‘Don’t bring me any n*ggers.’”

there is nothing stopping court expansion other than norms that have long since become obsolete in the face of a radical, out of control majority currently enabling a fascist lunatic

The Utah governor just signed a bill to expand his state's supreme court by two seats.
Conservatives have been angry at a series of judicial rulings, including one that safeguarded direct democracy in 2024 & one that struck down their gerrymander. 1st step of their retaliation.

i think this is exactly right. fascism is the Death Drive as ideology. it's why the catastrophic end of the Nazi Party does not deter people from worshipping Nazis. that the Nazis destroyed Germany along with the rest of Europe is part of the appeal.

The notion that calling ICE the "Gestapo", in response to their actions, is somehow responsible for their actions is absurd.

Miep Gies, who helped hide the Franks, repeatedly said she did not want to be viewed as a hero because she did what she expected any normal person to do.
The reason Anne Frank's story has resonated with so many people over so many years is not because circumstances have to be exactly the same as her's for anyone to care, but because anything remotely like it is wrong, and societies moving in that direction should oppose it well before they get there.

not an accident that habeas corpus is one of the absolute foundational rights--and not an accident that ICE is working overtime to undermine it as much as possible
Excellent explanation of how ICE moves immigrants from one prison facility to another to deny them access to justice.

This is just misleading. There is a big difference between saying state resources can’t be used to enforce fed’l civil immigration policy & local cops refusing to assist fed’l partners in an emergency. Deliberately conflating the two is disingenuous.

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law.
