This thread and series of thoughts from @gregggonsalves.bsky.social is excellent and worth your time.
I'm surprised how many people are quick to make a defense of violence in my replies. For them it's necessary, foreclosing on its use is a privilege. For me, non-violence is a powerful tool. It is the lesson of one of my heroes, Bayard Rustin. 1/ wagingnonviolence.org/2022/08/reme...
Remembering the genius of Bayard Rustin
Thirty-five years after his death, the man who mentored Martin Luther King Jr. still has much to teach movements.

“Emergency” is a word w/meaning that should be justified by facts.
FBI data suggests that Memphis, Cleveland,Toledo & Little Rock have higher crime rates.
The media would do well to interrogate the basis for the exercise of emergency powers rather than “residents say crime really is bad” stories.

STOP conceding that Trump can legitimately expand grab by deploying baseless claims of “emergency.”
There was NO EMERGENCY to justify tariffs.
There was NO “INVASION” to justify this migrant crackdown.
And there is NO “EMERGENCY” that justifies military takeover of local law enforcement in D.C.

Writing an op-ed is not illegal activity. They are revoking visas for thought crimes and for constitutionally protected expression.

Relatedly, did we ever get an explanation as to how russian state media was accidentally (???) in the oval office when trump and vance attacked zelensky?
Right-wing YouTuber Tim Pool has made it to the White House pool — someone from his “Timcast” channel will be part of today’s pool duty covering the president.
Last year, DOJ revealed Pool was receiving millions of dollars from the Russian gov. Pool says he didn’t know where it was coming from.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time:
Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves.
Q: Why are you running away?
Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels.
Q: But you’re foxes!
Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
