"It is well established that the Fifth Amendment entitles aliens to due process of law in deportation proceedings." - Justice Antonin Scalia, Reno v. Flores
When MAGAs hit you with "Democrats were slave-owners and Republicans freed the slaves!", point out to them that the 1860 Republican platform advocated for immigrants having the same rights as native-born citizens, and ask if they still believe in that.

If this article from last October is a real thing, then I suspect all of this will accelerate now that the Trump administration is figuring out that liberals also have Second Amendment rights.

Today I've discovered that my new fastest way to make MAGAs mad when they're griping about Alex Pretti carrying a weapon is to reply "We have the Second Amendment to protect the First Amendment".

This week in the Department of "I'm Not Racist, But...", lots of Facebook posts insisting that Bad Bunny doing so well at the Grammys means the music industry is "controlled by Satan".

I'm seeing a lot of MAGAs mocking the numbers at the small/er anti-ICE protests.
But now I can respond that the numbers are still higher than people who've seen the new Melania movie.

The people who totally bought Trump's head and fist popping up in Butler, PA and his aide lowering a flag for that picture before Trump got to the photo spot now think Omar getting sprayed is fishy.

MAGAs are yammering today about Omar's attack being faked. I've agreed that it was definitely less messy than pretending to have your ear shot.

I think the ICE agents in Minnesota might be having a much easier time of it right now if they hadn't brought only their spring uniforms.

Funny how so many MAGAs now are quoting Minnesota gun laws instead of complaining how restrictive they are.

Today in "Just when I thought MAGAs couldn't get stupider", one just told me she was basing her opinion on what happened to Pretti with a single picture, not the videos.

This week the nastiest stuff I've seen MAGAs saying on social media is about high schoolers protesting against ICE.
I wondered why, then I realized: A few months ago MAGAs were bragging how Charlie Kirk was turning young people red, but now they see the youth slipping away from them again.

There's a school of thought among historians that believes the Byzantine Empire took the punches from numerous invaders over the centuries who might have otherwise tried overrunning Western Europe if the Byzantines hadn't held them back.
Minneapolis, I think that today, this is you with ICE.

If an ICE or CBP agent objects to being filmed, are we supposed to reply, "If you're not doing anything wrong then you don't have anything to worry about"?

Over the past week I've started noticing ICE appearing in my rural Southwest Virginia county that is still agricultural and has numerous illegal immigrants doing farm work. But this county went over 70% Trump in 2024, so the ICE agents are being very stealthy instead of putting on a show.

Thinking fondly today of the friend who once responded to a neighbor's public racism (hanging a noose in his front yard when black neighbors moved in down the street) by lynching a Confederate flag in his front yard.

Lots of white people over on Facebook today insisting that Martin Luther King, Jr. wasn't a real Christian because he "denied Jesus' divinity" but who, I happen to know, also still idolize Thomas Jefferson.
