MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."
Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.
Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Small structural thing about this week's #Andor. The audience is conditioned to expect these three-episode drops to build to a climax in the third part. Classic three-act structure.
So putting the most harrowing stuff in the second part really catches the viewer off-balance.

A New Mexico judge and his wife have also been arrested, for allegedly hiding a TdA gang member in their home.
Given recent history, it’s probably best to take the “hiding” and “gang member” allegations with a fistful of salt.

"Kafkaesque" has come to mean, to many, absurdist, byzantine, surreal. But The Trial is also about powerlessness in the face of an authority that deliberately makes reality unknowable.
Over on X, a tale of the madness currently playing out with student visas is currently going viral on the basis of an astonishing quote from a judge calling what the Trump administration is doing “Kafkaesque.”
The lawsuit is one of Banias. law’s emergency TRO cases and the quote is from 5 days ago.

This has to be one of the craziest admissions from A JUDGE that l've ever seen in a court transcript. What the hell are we doing here?!
[Start screenshot]
THE COURT: Do you realize that this is Kafkaesque?
I've got two experienced immigration lawyers on behalf of a client who is months away from graduation, who has done nothing wrong, who has been terminated from a system that you all keep telling me has no effect on his immigration status, although that clearly is BS. And now, his two very experienced lawyers can't even tell him whether or not he's here legally, because the Court can't tell him whether or not he's here legally, because the government's counsel can't tell him if he's here legally.
