I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Is it now the administration’s position that the U.S. military does not observe or adhere to the laws of war?

Brilliant! Too bad the whole White House press core can't stand in unity like this, when one organisation is taken out, the rest should go out as well.
CBS tried to sideline Stephen Colbert and accidentally triggered the Late Night Avengers. Fallon, Stewart, Cohen, Cooper, Meyers, Oliver—they didn’t miss a beat. You come for one truth-teller, and the whole squad shows up & shows out.

“It seems that this administration is quite allergic to justice, isn’t it?”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has imposed sanctions on Francesca Albanese, the U.N. special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Is it fascism yet?
Hours after ICE became the highest federal law enforcement agency in America history (and likely in world history), the Supreme Court lifts the last obstacle to ICE deporting people to any random country around the world, even in conflict zones or where migrants are enslaved.
Over dissents from Justices Sotomayor & Jackson (and a rare concurrence from Justice Kagan), #SCOTUS "clarifies" that its 6/23 ruling staying a district court's injunction against third-country removals *also* applies to the district court's later order requiring a remedy for those already removed:
