that isn't just racial profiling -- this sounds a lot like ethnic cleansing.
Officials prepare immigration operation in Minnesota that would focus on Somali immigrants, source tells AP, as Trump says he doesn't want Somalis in U.S.

Very ironic. There’s fascinating and troubling history here, as @pemalevy.bsky.social described earlier this year, going back to a stroke-incapacitated Woodrow Wilson.

Have any news outlets that ran scathing front page headlines, op-eds and editorials about Biden pardoning Hunter admitted that they were wrong after we've seen Trump maliciously prosecute Comey, James, McIver etc?

Had a call from a senior football official and his view on this ruling by FIFA to ensure Ronaldo gets to play at the World Cup: “Unprecedented.”
Was a different precedent last year when somehow qualification rules emerged to ensure FIFA’s Club World Cup had a Lionel Messi team in it.

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.
Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.
They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

Chief Justice John Roberts rigged our democracy, helped Trump retake power, and is now discarding legal and constitutional constraints on Trump's actions.
But Roberts needs Trump, too. This symbiotic relationship means there is no hope for course correction.
