I'm left, queer, polyam, pro union, pro cannabis, pro gun, and I think the current political situation in this country is a boiling cauldron of feces.
If you're MAGA, right wing, transphobic, or any of that, you can fuck off.

This letter is just freakishly incoherent and inappropriate. It’s what you would get if you put, like, Tim Pool or Ben Shapiro into a US Attorney’s chair, made them drink a quart of bourbon, and told them to get angry at something
1. This is so poorly written that the sentence that is -- I think -- supposed to convey a semi-veiled legal threat is incomprehensible.
2. I'm jealous of whichever lawyer gets to write the response.

You know what else is up by a huge percentage? Illegal but state-sanctioned assault, battery, kidnappings, forced imprisonment, torture, and violations of due process.

Trump's "I don't know anything about that" was a feeble but workable answer to the press when he was a private citizen.
But if he says it as PRESIDENT? Why is your immediate follow-up not "So you're saying you're incompetent? You don't know what's happening in your own administration?"

Great crowd at the Anchorage "Hands Off" protest.
No counter-protestors, massive support from passers-by. Our elected officials better take note...the current regime is NOT popular.

There is also no invasion or war that would justify invoking the Alien Enemies Act. It’s a big problem that these things don’t seem to matter.

Yes. This. Use any weapon or tool at your disposal.
Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful:
- Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored
- Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored
- Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

The administration’s key demand is not just that they can send anyone they like to a foreign labor camp, it’s that you will accept without question their assertion that the people they choose are dangerous menaces who deserve it. They want your unquestioning obedience.

John Oliver's new piece on TASERs is horrifying but insightful. As is typical, the comments are also high quality (and not, as usual for YouTube comments, for humorous reasons).

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time:
Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves.
Q: Why are you running away?
Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels.
Q: But you’re foxes!
Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
