one of the remarkable things about the increase in raids at courthouses, schools etc by ICE is how shortsighted it is. We want people - all people! - to send their kids to school and pick them up safely, to attend and obey their court appointments, etc. Putting a chill on those activities is madness

Trump's proposed data-sharing deal with Palantir would be an appalling attack on our privacy.
It goes hand-in-hand with his attacks on habeas corpus.
Liberals and conservatives should agree on this: we don't want mass surveillance or erosions of our civil liberties.

Advocates say the program is small but critical: “Survivors won’t leave, they can’t leave [abusers], if they’re going to leave their pets behind"

So apparently, Trump had his annual physical at Walter Reed which included a cognitive test. Trump told reporters that he successfully completed the cognitive test, getting all the answers correct.
If a worm ate Trump's brain, it would starve to death.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

“The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored.
If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.”

NEW: There's no reason to act like Trump is pursuing a trade policy or an industrial revitalization strategy.
These are just sanctions, imposed to intimidate countries and companies into submission like they're universities or law firms. They're what a mob boss would do.
