There’s an important election happening this week in Tennessee. MAGA is fearful that flipping the 7th District seat could shrink their House majority to a zero-vote margin.

Lets explain how escalating/manufacturing a military confrontation with Venezuela gives the administration a legal “hook” to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, one of the oldest national-security laws still on the books. This statute allows a president to detain, restrict, or deport non-citizens

ICE's show of force today in Los Angeles is grim but largely symbolic.
They'll kidnap fewer people today than average. We knew they were planning something because their operational tempo slacked from Jul 4-6.
Community members got to #MacArthurPark hours ahead of time to warn residents.

How can anyone be uncertain about either of those things? There are 174 countries whose military budgets are less than that of just NYPD. If you combined only US state & local law enforcement spending, it'd give you the 3rd best funded military on earth, beaten only by the US and China.
I’m uncertain if we are over-policed or have overly militarized police in America. But we don’t have to resolve this now. We just have to say that, with an authoritarian administration in power, we should oppose all efforts to give them now more instruments of force and coercion.

Eight migrants were deported from a US naval base in Djibouti to South Sudan on the Fourth of July.
They are not Sudanese. The Supreme Court green‑lit the transfer two weeks ago.
Sending people to an active war zone is cruelty by spreadsheet.
Stop the third‑country deportations.

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country.
Otherwise, it’s just racism.
