Don't know much about Judge Young but if we ever get through this whoever is in power should put a statue of him up outside the Supreme Court.
“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.”

Opinion | In D.C., Trump sees chaos where I see home
For decades my hometown has been unfairly stereotyped by a mix of provocative media pundits, politicians and outsiders — including, most recently, Donald Trump.

Aritistic freedom ist kaput.
A much-publicized, multi-part documentary series by Spike Lee for ESPN Films about former NFL QB Colin Kaepernick is no longer proceeding with the company.

The news comes "as a result of certain creative differences."

With billions of MAGA$$, every bully wannabe in the country is flocking to cosplay w the gear, masks, that sweet comraderie w fellow travelers. Theyve been told like their forebears from the '30s, "the others" have ruined the country so anything goes now. It is a wet dream coming true for some.
I love how obvious it is with his body language and everything about him what a fucking loser this guy was as a kid. He's even got the incel accent.
While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused.

Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right?

Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

This country was founded on the idea of habeas corpus.

It's a legal term that means no government has the right to arbitrarily take your freedom away. Preserving habeas corpus is not optional. It's a fundamental concept of justice that people have fought and died for. abcnews.go.com/Politics/wh-...
The WH says Trump is considering suspending habeas corpus. What would that mean?
The move to expel migrants would curtail a constitutional right to due process.

"not long"? it is already happening (disgraceful as it is)
Not long until European democracies will be concerned about the US trying to foment far-right color revolutions now.

" One thing that struck me was how similar the far left and right are beginning to sound. The center-right and center-left are also starting to converge—it’s a strange sort of realignment. It’s less right versus left these days, and more moderate versus non-moderate.."

The discourse around white privilege in the 2010s while well intentioned did lasting damage to the cultural fabric of America.

It subtly changed the public & policy dialog about race from racism is bad to white people are bad.

Someone like Trump rising to power was inevitable once this happened.

Just about everything in this story is wild. A whole lot of people are 100% lying about what they know. And it appears the police department and sheriff have very different ideas about laws and jurisdiction in this area.
