The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.

Memphis is experiencing gestapo-style raids 24/7 now. Our local media is failing us and the national media is ignoring this black/blue/incredibly poor city in a red state. I guess we just aren’t as sexy as LA or Portland.

I do not give a single, solitary fuck what people use their benefits to buy. Poverty isn’t just about a lack of money, it’s about a lack of time too. Everything takes longer to accomplish when you’re poor - and everyone deserves convenience.

An indispensable backgrounder on federal immunity and Trump's secret police. It's not what Stephen Miller thinks it is.
Today's "One First" explains why Stephen Miller is wrong that ICE officers have "federal immunity" from prosecution for all actions they take in their official duties, and that anyone attempting to prosecute them is committing a felony.
Supremacy Clause immunity is a thing, but it's *not* absolute:

186. When Can States Prosecute Federal Officers?
Stephen Miller claims that ICE officers have "immunity" for anything they do while enforcing immigration law. Even as an argument about *state* criminal prosecutions, that claim is overstated at best.

If people are hungry, you feed them.
If they are homeless, you house them.
If they’re sick, you give them medical care.
If they’re cold, you give them clothes.
It isn’t hard.
Far too many people are more than happy to sit in judgement of others rather than helping.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.
