In a supposed effort to crack down on immigration, President Trump continues to bombard American cities with federal agents.

In the American system of government, a legislature of the people’s elected representatives decide how to allocate the people’s money, then an unelected appointee in the executive branch called “OMB Director” decides if he feels like distributing the people’s money that way or if he’d rather not.

Wow! This ICE agent has bigger problems than just dropping his gun.
Just asking questions: why is tough guy pointing a gun at bystanders, and does he even notice that the magazine is on the ground too?

As a bookish kid, I admired the Supreme Court for having the character to unanimously come out against segregation in the 1950s, when no other branch of our government would have had that courage.
So it saddens me to see it lose its way and endorse judging people for the color of their skin today.

Why is the DOJ asking a judge to block NBC from releasing the names of two Epstein associates who got huge payouts in 2018? One got $100K, the other $250K—just days after the Miami Herald started exposing his shady plea deal. What are they hiding, and who’s being protected?

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.
