‘Force is ugly, but’: JSO seldom punishes cops accused of abuse
Jacksonville Sheriff's officers inconsistently report when they've injured civilians, thanks in part to a vague use-of-force policy.

It is 100% certain that ICE and other security agencies will begin to aggressively arrest/ prosecute/ denaturalize/ deport political opponents of all sorts under the rationale that they are illegally interfering with ICE and/ or threatening national security.

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

the endgame here is him withholding federal tax dollars from blue states entirely unless they let him personally rewrite all their laws

it is the end of the “states’ rights” conservatives claimed to believe in so fervently in favor of absolute dictatorship
Trump says he will withhold federal tax dollars to Maine colleges unless the Gov of Maine personally apologizes to him.

Whether Judge Boasberg was correct on the law is largely irrelevant to whether the government is in contempt for willfully disobeying it. If the Trump administration knew there was an order from a federal judge and then willfully violated it, that is the end of the analysis.

I keep seeing this. Guys, their literal job is to figure out what to do. They are not helpless even if they are not the majority. I really hope we can stop treating some of the most powerful people in the world as helpless and without sentience.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Trump just revoked the Equal Employment Opportunity executive order of 1965, rolling back 60 years of progress on civil rights.

The order had prohibited employment discrimination in federal hiring based on race, religion, and gender.
