"Goodbye, America" would be an appropriate headline
Because they have not studied or worked in authoritarian bureaucracy, most liberal reporters and pundits are significantly underplaying the catastrophic consequences of 100,000s more ICE agents and private contractors. Their failure to explain these provisions of the new budget is inexcusable.

If the Supreme Court doesn't like the way its decisions are characterized, it could stop making rulings that violate international human rights treaties.

Jessica: Gavin Newsom is speaking for a majority of Americans. There was a new Quinnipiac poll: Donald Trump -12 approval, -11 on immigration, -16 on deportation. He has taken his best issue and decimated it

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade.
They departed Texas 5 days ago.
What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel.

Appeasement never works. Just Tim Cook ... or Neville Chamberlain.
PBS insisted on removing a 90-second segment from a documentary about Art Spiegelman that was critical of Donald Trump. Daniel Engber reports on a worrying trend in public television:
Now PBS Is Censoring a Film About Free Speech
A worrying pattern has taken hold in public television.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.
