Disgusting and shameful.
17 people are dead from US strikes in the Caribbean this month and we still don't really know who they are and so far the president and VP have made jokes about scared fishermen.
Trump brags to military leaders about his strikes on boats: "They don't want go fishing. I don't blame them. There will be no fishing today. It's amazing what strength will do."

Disgusting and shameful.
"Over the course of ten pages, Brett Kavanaugh fumbles his way through legal and factual analysis that a second-year law student would find embarrassing, laced with the affected earnestness of someone whose only conception of hardship is when his vacation home’s cleaning crew gets stuck in traffic."

The Irish have been one of the groups most protected from enforcement of immigration rules. In the past, large numbers have overstayed visas, gotten jobs, and lived their lives with few worries.
All bets are off now. Everyone needs to be extra cautious.

Trump is using Kilmar Abrego Garcia as the threat to the rest of us. “Fall in line or you’ll be disappeared. And I don’t need no stinking due process.”
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is everything right now
For the Trump regime, their ability to disappear the humanity of one Maryland dad is central toward a project of establishing American dictatorship
It's why we must fight for Kilmar's freedom...and our own. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/kilm...

Hello all! I would like to please ask for some advice for a reading for next quarter. I am teaching a class on 19th and 20th West Phil and I would like to add an essay or chapter by Hannah Arendt.
What stand-alone essay by Arendt would speak best to our current crisis?
