The Hmong fought on the US/SVN side during the war in Vietnam. A reputation of skilled, strong fighters.

When the south fell to the north, Hmong were given refuge and residency in America by the US government.

Now they must hide from the US government within America.
This week, I spoke with a St. Paul woman who told me ICE came to her door and asked her to report on her "Asian neighbors."

The Hmong community, the large majority of whom are in this country legally for decades now, is in hiding.

Whether it’s a member of the working class condemning oligarchical pedophile or an oligarchic pedophile defending oligarchical pedophilia, the important thing is to avoid class war.

My latest: Recently, Donald Trump told us how he really feels about the midterms: “When you win the presidency, you don’t win the midterms.” His conclusion was stark: “We shouldn’t even have an election.” www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...
Trump’s call to cancel elections must be a wake-up call

NEWS: Canada just checkmated the United States.

Breaking with the U.S., Canada has struck a major deal with China: Ottawa will cut its 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles in exchange for dramatically lower tariffs on Canadian farm products.

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.

That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

We are experiencing the fruits of end-stage capitalism and end-stage Calvinism at the same time. What a fine time for the elect to be alive, I guess? Pity for the rest of us (and for all those people who think they're elect but are just feeders for that Ponzi scheme).

Fraud is a serious crime that merits laying siege to an entire city and collectively punishing every immigrant from Somalia.

It's also a crime for which you can be pardoned and relieved of compensating your victims, so long as some of the money you stole finds its way to the president.

NEW — ICE violence has spread well beyond Minneapolis, with agents landing in small cities like St. Cloud. I spoke with Alice Valentine, a local queer trans woman, who protested ICE on Monday and was pepper sprayed, beaten and jailed as a result, along with her girlfriend.

This is Alice's story:

As the son of naturalized immigrants, born in the US after both were naturalized, who has been practicing law since September 25, 2001, I'm so pleased that 9 people who combined have tried fewer trials than me will decide if but for an arbitrary limit in an executive order I might not be a citizen.

It is simultaneously gratifying and horrifying that the NFL doesn't feel like it has to knuckle under to Trump about Bad Bunny, but FIFA fellates him when he literally has no power over them.

Never in 45+ years of having my surname mispronounced (and in the last 20 years, most of the time by 15th Circuit Court [Mississippi] Judge Prentiss Harrell) has anyone ever accused me of being adjacent to Bodacius (although I get Ignatius all the time). I am insulted.

"Although women are just as likely to encounter police as men, more and more women are experiencing use of force over time: 28% of people experiencing the threat or use of force by police in 2022 were women, compared to 13% in 1999."

this is an issue on which i have had a legitimate change in my views in recent years.
billionaires should not be allowed to exist because the downside of "one of them loses their mind" is simply too dangerous for a functional society

also, having a billion dollars tends to make you lose your mind
The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.
