So it’s flown under the radar but Utah just went forward with forced labor interment camps for the homeless at the direction of the Trump administration.

Trump has so transformed and degraded the machinery of American government that it isn't enough to just beat him or his successor. Someone has to rebuild the liberal democratic state.

This is grim. I’m pretty sure this swan in Hyde Park is nesting, and it’s surrounded by plastic waste that’s washing up from the Serpentine. It’s so representative of our relationship with the natural world. It’s shameful.

It’s important to note we don’t have a lot of information on exactly what happened here. But the petty, small America depicted here — intolerant of dissent and swollen with entitlement to be free of it — is very much Trumpist America, so it’s credible.

I am tracking 3 separate cases where the government is violating court orders. The question now is whether judges find willfulness and hold officials in contempt.
