The Wall Street Journal is reporting on a conspiracy by the White House and ICE to violate the Constitution and conduct warrantless, suspicionless "sweeps" of Hispanic areas of the country. This is criminal behavior, and state police need to start investigating these crimes.

Exactly
This. If "our side" hands Trump an image of what looks like a Mexican guy in LA waving a Mexican flag beside a burning car—even if *you and I* know it's an American citizen celebrating his heritage, who didn't set the car on fire himself—how can anyone doubt Trump will weaponize it against us? God.

It is so obvious that conflating pro-Gaza sentiment with anti-semitism is just a method to allow Republicans to widely attack all sources of free speech more widely.

NYT: “The episode was recorded by someone who was sitting in Mr. Nadler’s office. In the video, an officer with the Federal Protective Service, part of the Department of Homeland Security, is shown demanding access to a private area inside the office.”

That Mr. Prada Vasquez was included on GlobalX’s flight manifest, but not ICE's, confirms the hurried and slapdash nature of the March 15 operation. It suggests ICE was shoving people onto the planes until the very last second, while the DOJ was expressing ignorance in court about the flights.

My whole life, since Reagan, I've been listening to Republicans lecture me about the virtues of capitalism. But, y'know, you can't have capitalism without liberalism. No rule of law, no capitalism.
