honestly I think that we should pass a law denying the protection of any federal law to anyone who received a pardon from Trump. nothing done to them by any other person should be criminal.

Catholics represent fewer than 20% of U.S. adults, however, they make up 61% of the population at risk of deportation. Trump’s immigration crackdown is disproportionately hitting Catholic communities.

A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty: My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media. Huh? When did I say that?!

I'm so old I remember when the Supreme Court undermined nearly 30 years of internet law precedent to permit state action mandated prior restraint because of national security concerns with Tiktok data collection. But I guess those were the old days...like way back (checks notes)...in..um...January?

WTF? ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

A Christmas Carol is a story about how children suffer and die from treatable illnesses because the wealthy choose to keep them in poverty. It also correctly notes that the only thing a rich bastard fears is the inevitably of death. It even has Muppets in it. Truly Dickens' most timeless work.

WOW; a DEEPLY corrupt move by the immigration courts; clear collaboration with Trump admin officials to produce a specific result with zero notice to the party and ALSO in a situation where the judge facially lacks jurisdiction; the judge had denied a motion to reopen and the case is on appeal.

Actually, the op-ed was more, "We four undersigned want the Tufts Administration to take seriously the opinions and interests of the Tufts studentry and engage with us on the matter of Israel's Gaza genocide and our school's response to it." It was that tame. And MAGA still found fault with it.
