I’ve heard from immigration attorneys that clients say ICE guards lay out the WRAP device (essentially a full-body straitjacket) on the tarmac as a threat — “do what we say or you’re getting the WRAP on the whole flight.”
And here’s proof, from Seattle livestream today via @lalabote.bsky.social.

Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

And in the example that the overall stalwartness and rigor of federal district/circuit courts has made a huge difference.

IMLS announces "upon further review" that it is reinstating all federal grants to libraries. It leaves out that it's doing this because a federal court told them a few weeks ago that the Trump admin's decision to destroy libraries was not legal.

When I was a teenager, back in days of the Solid South, white Southern politicians would routinely use the term "Nigra." They acted as if it was just a regional pronunciation of "Negro," then acceptable. But it signaled what they really wanted to say.
Trump remembers those days. He's headed there.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.
