Some of them do have 'ICE' on their clothing, I think if we should dress like them we should put 'NICE' on our clothes. After all, 'ICE' isn't 'NICE' & you could say that the N stands for NO. We're nice enough to stand up for the rights & safety of others, not concentration/work/death camps

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

Whoa. Incredible to see this paragraph lead off an opinion.
This is big:
Chief Judge Boasberg GRANTS class certification to the men unlawfully renditioned to El Salvador in March under the Alien Enemies Act, orders Trump administration to offer up a plan to facilitate their obtaining habeas relief.
Here's how the ruling begins: With a nod to Kafka.

Here's how the ruling begins: With a nod to Kafka.
![Screenshot of ruling in J.G.G. v. Trump:
"One morning, Kafka’s Josef K. awakens to encounter two strange men outside his room. As he gets his bearings, he realizes that he is under arrest. When he asks the strangers why, he receives no answer. “We weren’t sent to tell you that,” one says. “Proceedings are under way
and you’ll learn everything in due course.” Franz Kafka, The Trial 5 (Breon Mitchell trans., Schocken Books Inc. 1998). Bewildered by these men and distressed by their message, K. tries to comfort himself that he lives in “a state governed by law,” one where “all statutes [are] in
force.” Id. at 6. He therefore demands again, “How can I be under arrest? And in this manner?” “Now there you go again,” the guard replies. “We don’t answer such questions.” Undeterred, K. offers his “papers” and demands their arrest warrant. “Good heavens!” the man scolds. “There’s
been no mistake.” “[O]ur department,” he assures K., is only “attracted by guilt”; it “doesn’t seek [it] out . . . . That’s the Law.” Id. at 8–9. “I don’t know that law,” K. responds. “You’ll feel it eventually,” the guard says. Id. at 9."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jech7rem6vijss4euf4fijao/bafkreif4xw4ttryprvjgyg7b3kyatdj4oyp7rhrlmccnuayqnsnlsyjowu@jpeg)

100 years ago today a Tennessee grand jury indicted science teacher John Scopes for violating the state’s law making it a crime “to teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals.”

I’m in favor of sovereignty, I’m in favor of journalism, and I’m in favor of French jockeys, so I’m gonna take this as a win-place-show.
This is the time each year when I unveil my foolproof Kentucky Derby: Bet on any horse ridden by a Cajun jockey.
This year, alas, there’s only one of those in the race: Brian Hernandez Jr., riding 12-1 Burnham Square.
But of course you should really just bet on Journalism to win.
