A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time:
Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves.
Q: Why are you running away?
Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels.
Q: But you’re foxes!
Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

We knew right from the start this “Administration” would at best be incompetent, corrupt, heartless, dumb, dishonest and dangerous but what we have here is a next level of uncharted territory of incompetent, corrupt, heartless, dumb, dishonest and dangerous.
It is painfully exhausting.

We have been warning about this for years and now DeSantis is admitting that the worker shortages they worsened with anti-immigrant laws need to be alleviated by putting teenagers to work through the gutting of child labor protection standards. Just wow.

I always feared that someday I’d find myself arguing with AI about whether Buffy the Vampire Slayer ever said the line, “My hat has a cow.” At least I won the argument! Although it’s possible there are no real winners in this scenario:

We will not blindly follow illegal orders because Donald Trump wrote them down on a piece of paper.
Illinois follows the laws of the land – not the decrees of an aspiring king hell bent on disenfranchising millions of voters who deserve to have their voice heard.

This was what Judge Millett was getting at today in the D.C. Circuit oral argument. If the government doesn't have to give you notice or a hearing before removing you from the country, what's to stop them from removing you - literally you, the person reading this - from the country tomorrow?

Black people trying to do “self care era” while the country is on fire around them is neither revolutionary nor will it work out that you’ll be able to check out from the horrible things that are about to take place

BREAKING: By a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court LIFTS its hold on a lower court order compelling the Trump administration to resume nearly $2 billion in foreign aid funding. The funds MUST be disbursed. Roberts and Barrett join the liberals.

Just look at how we view hoodies. On Mark Zuckerberg, the hoodie is a symbol of whiz kid meritocracy breaking norms and developing the New Economy. On people like Trayvon Martin, the hoodie is sometimes seen as proof of criminality. Again, it's about the bodies beneath the clothes.

It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them.
