Trump's secretary of transportation Sean Duffy is scolding Americans to "dress professionally" for holiday travel at airports and such.

“You did not read that wrong: The appellate panel blocked Judge Sara Ellis’s ruling before reading her explanation as to why she issued it.”
The judge noted that ICE repeatedly shot pepper balls at protesters & clergy at close range; tear-gassed expectant mothers, children, & babies; and pointed guns at people exercising their First Amendment rights--conduct that she concluded “shocks the conscience.”

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
