History has the strongest sense of irony.
German Foreign Office just updated its travel advice to the US. Germans are explicitly warned for arrest, detention and deportation when traveling to the US.

Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security.
That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.

This is absolutely harrowing to watch. If you've seen the Brazilian film I'm Still Here, it's exactly that: armed men from an unnamed agency coming to a couple's door to take the man away, with no charges, no due process, no response to the wife's pleading questions. Completely unconscionable.

My 3 year old daughter asked me "what is a Traveller?"
Before I could answer, my 5 year old son told her "its what we are. It's people who do good things and share their toys and talk like we do but sometimes people don't like us".
Sometimes a child can explain things better

There was a lot of #AcademicFreedom, good scholarship, and independent thought in German universities before Hitler. After Hitler had risen to power, many academics fled the country. Some resisted the Nazi regime and were persecuted. Most adapted to a new situation. Here are some examples. 1/n

Trump is running the U.S. economy straight over the cliff.
Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.
