It's not even 11am yet, and federal agents have gassed the northwest side of Chicago twice this morning.

I’ll say it straight: It is unbecoming, undignified, cowardly, and shameful for a institution as revered and respected as the University of Virginia to grant an audience in 2025 to those who are committed to destroying science, free thought, human rights, and the rule of law.

When the Trump administration dismantled USAID and ended vast swaths of foreign assistance to the world’s poorest countries, much of the food aid and health care for children across Somalia were abruptly cut off. Now more children are arriving at emergency centers sicker and thinner than ever.
America’s Retreat From Aid Is Devastating Somalia’s Health System

You can't raid and arrest everyone in an entire apartment building, or even legitimately get a warrant to do that, any more than you could for a whole neighborhood. That would be a general warrant. This is the most specific core the-British-did-it-to-us thing the Fourth Amendment is written to ban.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.
