And because SCOTUS has sunk so low in public opinion, the Robert's court will be seen one of the most destructive to democratic principles

It’s a shame we’re closing philosophy departments at the exact same time society as a whole is questioning whether the identification of truth and the maintenance of a shared reality are worthy efforts anymore.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty
3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

We all want a secure border and fair enforcement of immigration laws. But at what cost? This large-scale diversion of personnel risks fewer agents protecting Americans from terrorists, cyber criminals, drug cartels, and foreign spies.
