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.

The end of due process for immigrants is the end of due process for citizens.

Few understand this.

"I believe that Americans would agree that the government can’t just make people disappear without any process or explanation. Second, because I want to give the government a chance to admit that they were wrong.

So far the government has not done so."

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

The gap between what the right thinks happens on college campuses and what actually happens is absurd. I had some great students and some awful ones; we talked about some difficult topics, from sexual violence to capitalism to exploitation; it was fine. Nobody lost their shit, because we're adults.

It's not the most important part of the issue but Kavanaugh saying "well they should just sue if they're the victims of excessive force from ICE" when he himself has previously voted to bar lawsuits against federal officers for violations of the 4th Amendment in immigration cases takes chutzpah.

It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines.

The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible.

Vaccines save lives. Period.

ICE detained a veteran and U.S. citizen for three days.

They didn’t let him contact his family or a lawyer. They didn’t let him change or shower. They didn’t give him a reason for his detention.

Under this regime, no one is safe. apnews.com/article/us-a...

Whats happened in LA over the weekend is pathetic. Once again we see the commander in chief agitating and escalating shit.

On another note, it doesn't seem like dems were "overreacting" when we said the fate of democracy depends on this election.

A number of stories of companies replacing workers with AI are simply CEOs putting a positive tech spin on cost cutting.

It’s telling that instead of stories of how AI enables companies to do more, we mostly hear about AI enabling companies to do the same (or lower quality work) with fewer workers.

This is so cool to quickly experiment with C# on .NET 10 preview 4, you can just dotnet run mycsharp.cs and it will run the code 🤩 I can see using that for my C# build scripts for example!
