It's not going to be enough to abolish ICE.
There are going to need to be prosecutions.

I’ve said it before but it is embarrassing that so many intellectuals spent years in small factional battles over the propriety of calling this fascism.
In preparation for next week’s parade/demonstration, tanks are being moved into Washington, DC today. Unprecedented.

Any moderately competent historian could have told you this is always where it was going to lead
The news that the FBI arrested a sitting judge dovetails with what @mford.bsky.social wrote for today: What began as a plan for mass deportation of immigrants has spiraled into a broad campaign against American citizens and their constitutional rights

These are the proactive steps states need to be taking right now. Another thing: every Democratic governor needs to have a sit-down now with the state adjutant general to carefully review that person's understanding of their responsibilities to their state, its citizens and the federal constitution.
Washington just took the reasonable step of not allowing the National Guard of other states to operate here without our agreement. It’s not the Guard personnel we are concerned about, it’s other governors in the Trump cult. katu.com/news/local/g...

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Donald Trump is torturing people on US soil.
At the Miami Krome ICE prison, detainees are held 16 hours with “tight chains around their wrists, chests, and hips on buses outside the facilities without water, food, or access to bathrooms. Guards instructed them to urinate or defecate inside the buses.”

The Nuremberg Trials would’ve been a lot easier if Nazis had taken selfies at their camps
We've reached the point where Republicans are flying to El Salvador to visit one of the most vicious prisons in the world to have photo ops so they can prove their loyalty to the President of the United States.

Either the U.S. government *is* able to exert monetary and diplomatic pressure on El Salvador sufficient to produce Abrego Garcia’s release, or it isn’t.
The latter would be either a bald-faced lie or a pretty stunning concession of our national impotence. The Vice President should pick one.

I have a feeling that Miller is single-handedly stopping the admin from just getting this guy back. From a legal POV it would be better for the government’s case if they can show the ability to correct error. But Miller is pathological about getting brown people out and not letting them in
