They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.
Instead of hiring more immigration judges, the Department of Justice just posted an ad for "deportation judges." join.justice.gov

This week the Trump CDC attacked science — and our health, and our kids’ health — by twisting the truth on the CDC website.
There’s things to say about the playbook they used, and that’s helped by a little explanation about scientific truth in practice.

Faculty governance will defend academic values, like academic freedom, even when it is unpopular.
Political appointees who serve as Regents will blow with the ideological winds, which in Texas are anti-speech.

In 1945, the US Army put out a training manual intended to help rank and file soldiers spot incipient fascism in the US. One of the telltale signs that one was dealing with a fascist was that they called everyone to their left "a communist." bsky.app/profile/seth...
The third fascistic tactic to watch out for is their tendency to label anyone they disagree with who is to their left "a Communist." Fascists claim that they alone can save their nations from "the communist menace." Anyway, the 2024 GOP platform contains the phrase "Christ-hating communists."
