I kind of feel like if you had to do a big PR visit to Auschwitz to prove you’re not antisemitic, you’re antisemitic.

So, the people who've been putting Bibles in classrooms, the Ten Commandments in courthouses, and legislating away women's rights to their bodies are suddenly worried about the mixing of politics and religion, huh?

It is illegal and unconstitutional for ANYONE to be detained without legal process.
Even if there's legal cause to deport, you CANNOT just arrest people without a warrant - and detain them without appearing before a judge.
This will be challenged - and freedom will prevail.

The librarian in Massachusetts
told me
that two of the geese
on the pond on her campus
have died of bird flu,
and when I asked her
what steps her university
was taking in response,
she explained: “They emailed
the ornithology folks,
and that’s it,”
and all I could do was curse.
