Trump may justify deportations by claiming the people involved are violent gang members (although no court has had that chance to test that assertion) but the problem is that once established, the power Trump is claiming can be used against other people too. joycevance.substack.com/p/deportatio...
Deportations: It's not where it starts, it's where it ends.
Just ahead of the hearing scheduled for 5 p.m.

You could just feel yesterday how much Trump sincerely wanted to stop people in Ukraine from being killed. You could tell that his only motivation is to stop the bloodshed. It really seemed like his main concern - not his ego, minerals, past grievances, or his love for Putin.

Another woman in Texas died because she couldn’t get a D&C after a miscarriage.
A corpse has more bodily autonomy in the US than a pregnant woman. A non-organ donor will not have their life-saving organs harvested, despite the need. But a pregnant woman can be kept pregnant even if it kills her.🤦

Remember when a lot of supposedly smart ppl told us DOGE was a powerless blue ribbon commission that would have no real authority? Now in two weeks time the richest man on the planet and his apparatchiks have seized the government with barely a whimper of institutional protest.

All Five Eyes partners need to presume that ALL US government IT systems are now insecure.
Similarly the EU need to treat any data interchange agreements with the US as null and void.
This includes cloud hosting on Azure, AWS and Google (not that anyone uses Google Cloud ;)

Random computers being plugged into federal networks is obviously terrifying in terms of what data they're deliberately accessing, but it's also terrifying because it implies controls are being disabled - unmanaged systems should never have access to this data. Who else has access to those systems?

I love how the outrage here is that federal employees refused to let Musk’s minions from DOGE — a bullshit private body that has absolutely no right to access this info — have open access to federal systems.
It’s like getting indignant that a mugger’s victim had the audacity to resist.
