The Trump admin is making the active choice to be lawless.
❌Rubio on not intercepting a boat of "narco-terrorists": “We blew it up."
❌Hegseth: "Maximum lethality, not tepid legality."
❌Vance after being told killing civilians extrajudicially is a war crime: "I don't give a sh*t what you call it."

The Washington Post covered the story on the left, but ignored the story on the right. Luckily, Democracy Docket has you covered.

Other presidents also didn’t display their merch for their third terms and show it off to foreign leaders. He says he’s a dictator but still they pretend he’s not.

I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

This discussion meandered to a lot of places I did not expect, and afforded me the opportunity to quote both Max Weber and the tagline from “Alien vs. Predator.” It was easily the most fun I’ve ever had discussing the rule of law’s decline and the erosion of constitutional norms!

The point isn't to "rid America of immigrants."

The point is to intimidate immigrants in order to better exploit them and cement apartheid and to send a message to every citizen that the authoritarian regime can do anything to anyone at any moment that they want without push back.

We’ve talked about “Alligator Alcatraz” before. Here are more details.

Starting the first week of July, when South Florida’s heat index regularly hits 100°F, they plan to detain up to 5,000 people in tents. No A/C. No real shelter. Just suffocating heat, choking humidity, and swarms of mosquitoes.
