This is ugly: Trump's DOJ has effectively informed immigration judges in a new memo that they can no longer rely on rules that protect against arbitrary firing. This lays groundwork for removing them if they rule the "wrong" way too often.

New piece from me:

Trump’s Rage Over “Low” Deportations Suddenly Gets More Unnerving
A new DOJ memo argues that immigration judges can be stripped of civil-service protections. That could lay the groundwork for firing them if they don’t rule the “right” way.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Happy birthday to all my Aquarius friends and family.
Aquarius season brings us bold ideas and fresh new ways of thinking. This is the season of humanitarian outpouring and radical change. I hope you are all emboldened to think outside of the box to create a more just and humane world.

Capricorn season has had me so busy getting things done with our big move across the U.S. Capricorn energy is ideal for cultivating habits that align with your intentions, and I’m starting to see the fruit of that as we head into the season of Aquarius.
Cheers to all you magnificent Capricorn babes!
