“The Constitution does not permit the government to arrest thousands of individuals and then disregard their constitutional rights because it would be too challenging to honor those rights.”
BREAKING: Judge Nancy Brasel, a Trump appointee, has issued a TRO in the Minnesota access-to-counsel case about treatment at Whipple.

"It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees."

This is a victory. Of course, I'll wait for confirmation from people on the ground over the next few days rather than just taking Homan's word, but it's clear DHS' resolve is shattering.
After 10 weeks of terror and violence, DHS announced it’s ending the surge of ICE agents in Minneapolis.

Residents stood strong, protected each other, and the regime flinched.

But we know this isn’t over. Instead of relaxing, we're turning up the volume.

My fear of a competent SecDef with a runaway fascist President, is they would have the authority and respect of the military to say: “stick with me, this looks bad, but we’re managing it internally, and we’ll make sure we get through this”.

Pete Hegseth is uniquely the opposite of that

I maintain Pete Hegseth is the SecDef most likely to trigger a military coup in the event that we *really* need a military coup

just apropos of nothing, I really do think the US gov't should start voiding passports for travel to countries where you run a massive risk of at best being used as a useful idiot and at worst just straight-up killed. we already did it for DPRK, Russia should also be on there, etc

I'm not kidding when I say this, they will be discussed the way former African presidents and Indian chief ministers are
one of the things that’s harder to see while we are in it, but will jump off the page at future historians, is how deeply corrupt *the entire trump family* is, and how they abused and and manipulated every lever of the federal government they could grab to steal everything that isn’t nailed down

"american indian" is fine for names of events and museums, but i don't think anyone says it in conversation. it's always "indian" or "native" (or "ndn" and "n8v" nowadays) in conversation, maybe "indigenous" on occasion.

*@centristmadness.bsky.social voice* We need liberal cops
Let me tell you something: you’re gonna need a whole lot of police to arrest all the criminals involved in Miller’s ethnic cleansing operation, and a lot more police to chase down the guys who will inevitably respond to MAGA losing power with bullets and bombs.
