One incorrect thing in @jessicavalenti.bsky.social’s piece is that the woman has not been released on bond. She is still in jail. We are getting her out tomorrow.

I really do think this might be the worst Supreme Court of all time, which is saying something for an institution that coexisted with slavery
These motherfuckers are even worse imo bc they are *also* out here using antebellum reasoning and pursuing antebellum goals but well post bellum!

I get how this is a very appealing message but the implication is that state repression is acceptable once protests cross a line. That doesn't actually help a movement for justice like the opposition to ICE and pulls attention away from the injustice the movement is opposing.
As the LAPD is reporting, the protestors in LA are being peaceful. This is not a rebellion or an invasion. There is no legal basis, including under 10 U.S. Code § 12406, for Trump to take over California's National Guard.
Trump is trying to cross the Rubicon and take this country into tyranny.

What's strange about all this (having some subject matter interest in all three of the agencies being discussed, yet not an admin law person) is that the fed is *the least* responsive to any democratic norms (not the same as "subject to presidential control"), as currently run, of the group
ROBERTS CJ (probably): Wilcox and Harris misunderstand our precedents. The agencies we *don’t like, as a matter of partisan ideology* are unconstitutional. The one we think is necessary to avoid global financial collapse is okay tho.

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

@vera.org just lost $5 million in federal funding for programs that help keep the public safe. They include a program that improves prison conditions, operations, and safety. The federal government should be supporting such initiatives, not ending them.
