Equal amounts of passion, chill, sass, optimism and get off my lawn. A great day involves lots of music, good reading and a cup of coffee with way too much vanilla creamer in it. Follows politics so is nevertrump.

According to the US Coast Guard, the year prior to Trump changing our policy to summary execution, only 21% of the vessels interdicted by them off the coast of Venezuela suspected of trafficking drugs had drugs on board. The other 79% had nothing. But now we just kill them all.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

DOJ whistleblower Erez Reuveni says Emil Bove told him, 'those planes need to take off no matter what, and if some court should issue an order preventing that, we may have to consider telling that court 'fuck you.'
Reuveni: It is the highest, most egregious violation of the lawyer's code of ethics.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

It’s not a crime to be in this country as an undocumented person. It’s a civil violation.
But you know what is a crime? Taking a bribe from undercover agents in exchange for the promise of government contracts WHEN YOU’RE THE FCKING BORDER CZAR.

The Supreme Court — specifically conservatives— have said for centuries that the federal government has no obligation to or role in protecting American citizens from private violence. But suddenly, we can do that provided that it is under military occupation? It’s despotism wrapped in hypocrisy.

This is something similar to what I have talked about having someone do. Everytime you see someone arrested and put in the back of a vehicle, follow it!
This is so important…
Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles.
In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected.
REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency.

A statue or monument is considered something of honor. You can acknowledge history without giving everything a place of honor.
Hegseth on restoring a Confederate monument in Arlington cemetery: "We recognize our history. We don't erase it. We don't follow the woke lemmings off the cliff that want to tear down statues ... we're proud of our history."

The Supreme Court derives its power from its legitimacy. It earns its legitimacy by explaining its decisions. The endless stream of wholly unexplained orders in favor of the Trump administration is not just indefensible—it's a threat to the court's own long-term power. This reeks of illegitimacy.
Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).
It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings.
It has written majority opinions in only 3.
Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*

Here we go again: Over an acerbic dissenting opinion by Justice Sotomayor (joined in full by Justices Kagan and Jackson), #SCOTUS, with no explanation, grants a stay in the Department of Education RIFs case—effectively clearing the way for the Trump administration to dismantle much of the agency:

"America First" means paying the people who refuse to do the jobs that need doing to arrest the people who are doing them.
Every ICE Agent and prison guard could be out building houses or harvesting food, but they would rather kidnap and abuse the people doing the honest work they won't do.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
