In the last week, Donald Trump has called for the murder of Congressional Democrats and threatened to unilaterally declare an invasion of Venezuela.

If Congressional Republicans followed the Constitution, both of these would be removable offenses. But, they’re loyal to Trump, not the constitution.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Centering every conversation about race in white discomfort is diabolical work when people of color have been uncomfortable for four hundred years in this country. White Supremacy should be named and dissected by Sonia and Ketanji in the Voting Rights Act case currently before the Supreme Court.
