“Saudi Arabia was an appropriate destination for Donald Trump’s first foreign trip in his second term as president. He chose to visit not a democracy but a despotism; not a free nation but one of the world’s most unfree; not a land of tolerance but of repression.” @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social
Trump Gushes with Envy Toward the House of Saud
American-style kleptocracy is fine and all. But what Trump really wants is the kind with aggressive repression, no dissent, and a bone saw on hand just in case.

America needs to wake up. Our country is being fleeced and we can't be trusted by our allies. The middle class is going to be wiped out, and they will just keep cheating the system to get richer. They aren't even trying to hide it.
Let’s be clear about what’s happening here: The President is using the power of his office to enrich himself and his family, offering “meme coins” and other shady crypto ventures to rake in billions in exchange for political favors.
But kids shouldn’t have more than five pencils? Seriously?

So it sounds like the judge they arrested might have been arrested because the ICE agents didn't recognize their target or were not being vigilant?

Everyone in the United States of America gets a hearing. It has to be innocent until proven guilty or none of us is safe. People have tried to tell me that "illegals" don't have rights because they are criminals... how do we know they are either of these things without someone actually checking.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!
