This shutdown is a reminder that “an executive branch unbound by Congress or the courts has a unique ability to inflict and prolong pain on the people,” @dgraham.bsky.social argues.

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.

It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.

Video on social media shows an immigration agent pulling a gun in Little Village and holding it to the side — which is not an appropriate or safe way to hold a gun. (Among other issues.)

The DC Sandwich Thrower''s trial started today.

His lawyers say it's retaliation since the CBP agent hit with the sandwich was not injured.

The federal agent who shot Rev. David Black with a pepper ball at point-blank range faces zero charges.

A sandwich gets more accountability than a cop.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.
