It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by.
Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

Americans are realizing that unfettered federal power to detain and arrest is a very dangerous thing. I learned that lesson as a child when they put us into internment camps just for looking like the enemy. Don’t go further down this road.

America will blow up NATO, go to war with our European allies, become weaker, poorer and more isolated just because an old, dying vulgarian is angry he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize he doesn't deserve and he wants a big piece of land that doesn't belong to him and Republicans refuse to act.

Yet another example of the idiocy of the Supreme Court’s immunity opinion: If Trump invades Greenland, even for the most insane reason (like not winning the Nobel Peace Prize) and against our obvious national interest, it’s an “official act” that can never be held legally accountable

Ten years ago the idea that a president would punish a state...actually physically punish a state for not voting for him and having a governor who disagrees with him would have been unthinkable.
So would 30% of the population enthusiastically supporting it.

It is in no way “law enforcement” to beat up an American 10th grader and steal and sell his possessions.
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

JD Vance proclaims that all federal police enjoy "absolute immunity" from prosecution for any crime.
In other words, Vance is giving the go-ahead for DHS and others to murder anyone, at any time, and without cause, due process, or regard for the safety of others.
