Prof Jason Stanley: “Let’s be clear, I was raised by a father who was in hiding in Nazi Germany. He spent eight months in hiding. I remember when he told me that he used to lay out his clothing on his bed and then set his alarm clock for 3 am to wake up and quickly put on his clothing…”

Thanks for your support!
I have officially listened to American Kompromat 4 times. I started making notes for myself of the most important points, and especially those validated by this Epstein file release. These books are vastly under-rated. I will be giving these as gifts any time the opportunity arrises.

I have been musing about the hypothesis that the ultimate consequence of SCOTUS's opinion in Trump v. U.S. will be the destruction of the rule of law in the U.S. This gift article helps to explain why, in part by emphasizing the evisceration of the Dept. of Justice.

Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi are already black holes for detention. Now obtaining release will be more difficult than ever. As more and more people are locked up, ICE will increase the pressure on those who are detained to give up.

The goal is an assembly line of coercion with no day in court.

AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past.

It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.
BREAKING: A 5th Circuit panel has backed ICE's mass detention policy, a decision that clears the way for the administration to lock up people who are in immigration proceedings

It's a 2-1 ruling
Majority: Jones (Reagan), Duncan (Trump)
Minority: Douglas (Obama)

"The Donald Trump ally, whose anti-EU rhetoric previously included an expressed desire “to drive a stake through the Brussels vampire”, told the Politico news website that there would soon be an “Irish Trump”."

Who is the "Irish Trump"? Sweet mercy 🤮🤮

Homes for people who are homeless??🇫🇮

Waaay too radical for the ‘housing-for-profit’ ideology that saturates Irish🇮🇪 ☘️political leadership, state housing & social policy.

Generations left on the margins or excluded by unchallenged neoliberals wrecking society🤦🏾‍♀️

All is lost😞

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.
Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me
In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

1/ Epstein and those he's speaking to repeatedly make clear that they only use text messages—even encrypted text messages—for their most benign communications. When something is sensitive they take it to phone or a face-to-face meeting. Everything bad you are seeing is the least bad stuff there is.

5/ Half the files—well over 3 million pages—are still being *illegally hidden* by Donald Trump. And the half we have is so improperly and even illegally redacted that it'd be fair to say that we are only seeing the most innocuous one-third of the Files. You cannot imagine how bad the full Files are.
