Just a reminder that appeasement doesn't work to keep us safe or free. Once you show you're willing to appease them on [insert thing here] to avoid rocking the boat, you have to give up something else next. You've shown you're willing to bend the knee a little, and they'll keep you there.

U.S.-born man held for ICE under Florida’s new anti-immigration law. So a judge cannot free a US-born citizen because ICE asked a jail to hold him? This is ridiculous!

Ah. The old “potential terrorist” argument for locking people up in a concentration camp for life. How many pardoned seditionists were “terror watchlist people”?
Rep. Dan Meuser on Abrego Garcia: "Maybe he's not a terrorist. But he's a potential terrorist. He's a terrorist watchlist person."

I think what’s most striking about the last few months is how rarely anyone in the GOP applies this simple test. A lot of checks and balances rely on this kind of worrying about precedent but it’s now totally absent, as if they don’t think they’ll ever be out of power again.
Listen to this National Review writer. (Although I would prefer it if people supported the First Amendment on principle, not just out of self-interest.)

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,
Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

Lil Marco is learning that diplomacy is difficult, despite the fact that his boss promised to end this war in 24 hours with one phone call & said it “wouldn’t even be that hard to do.” What he won’t say is this isn’t getting done because Putin WANTS war.
