How the hell do you write a piece about historians writing for the courts that quotes three judges and four law profs but ZERO historians?

Yall don’t get it. You don’t. Get. It.
It’s so sad. You don’t see us and never have. And until you do, you’re doomed too. It’s not “at first they came for us.” It’s that they’re still coming for us, and have, since 1492.

The 245-year-old American Academy of Arts & Sciences releases a statement rejecting assaults on scholarly and cultural institutions, the rule of law, & open inquiry--and calls on all Americans to "help fortify" democratic civic culture. www.amacad.org/news/board-s...

He missed the deadline to submit a single form 10 years ago, amidst family grief when his wife suffered a stillbirth. He did nothing illegal. Paid his taxes, completed citizenship documentation. But once you activate a police state, they don't care about individual circumstances.
gotta say I did not anticipate ICE goons going after the whitest possible immigrants with American families, jobs, and in good standing legally. a freaking Danish-born welder in Mississippi with four blonde kids and a pregnant wife. just omnidirectional hate

Hey, I wonder if there's any economic news today. I'll check out the website of America's biggest news network--Fox! Phew. Nothing's up! Biggest news in US today is a very nice Christian woman was slapped for no reason after sticking a camera in a stranger's face & calling her a baby killer.
Important to remember that the reason most Trump voters think everything's fine is that their chosen media is telling them little more than that he's cutting government waste and frogmarching criminals out of the country. Real information doesn't reach them. An economic collapse? That might.
Harris Faulkner's Fox News show has been on for 20 minutes now. She has not mentioned tariffs or stocks once and a stock ticker isn't being displayed. Strong state media vibes.
