This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

A thing to keep in mind about capabilities ascribed to ICE is that state actors do have a lot of ways to go after people if they want to, and if they want to track and target you specifically, they can.

I think often about how many people (lawyers, law profs, etc.) tried to come up with reasonable reasons to *not* apply Section 3 to Trump, and SCOTUS ignored them all to choose the least defensible rationale possible for it.
I think the moment I fully lost it with American elite culture was when there was a no-shit bipartisan panic attack over Colorado throwing Trump off the 2024 ballot because of this stipulation
every time I read this, I get apocalyptically apoplectic about how clear it is. it is instant. it does not require explicit congressional action to invoke, it instead only requires that to remove.
donald trump is not the current president right now, according to the constitution.
