Trump’s Chief of Staff admits the cases against Letitia James and James Comey were about revenge, not justice.
That’s blatant due process violation. If I’m Mahmoud Khalil or Kilmar Abrego Garcia, I’m suing for malicious prosecution.

You can tell the Canadian government is deeply committed to rooting out antisemitism in our society because it only took them *fifteen years* to finally decide a *government funded* memorial *shouldn't* have the names of actual Nazis on it.

By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

We talk a lot about how race and gender grievance are offered to white men to distract them from exploitative working conditions that are in fact universal, and this piece is a beautiful example of how the work of that distraction gets done.

This is just one example, but this story is the perfect example of why mediocre white guys are against DEI and this is the “American Dream” they’re trying to preserve. This is the “western culture” they want to protect, and anti-discrimination laws and policies destroy that.

The lawless killing spree continues.
The administration justifies this slaughter by claiming there’s an armed conflict.
But it won’t even tell the U.S. public who the supposed enemies are.
Of course, there’s no armed conflict.
And outside armed conflict, we call premeditated killing murder.
