It doesn't matter what the Constitution says. If the government can execute you on the street or in your own home on a whim, you have no rights. None.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

It must be hard living in NYC and having to choose between certified sex pest Andrew Cuomo and the guy who wants to lower your rent, Zohran Mamdani.
Tough decision, I’m sure.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

This is also why I keep saying people don't understand what is happening. It's not stitched together in a way to create a compelling narrative in the media. And Dems are dropping the ball by not creating their own talking points and hammering them over and over again.
The more coverage a story gets, the more important readers think it is.
So it matters when the NYT inflates flimsy Dem ‘scandals’ while downplaying real, criminal ones from Trump and Republicans. It’s not just bad judgment — it shapes public perception.

18F is *precisely* what Musk and team claim should exist within government. But when his team found it, they destroyed it, because it is evidence that government works well (can’t have that!), and because like Zelensky, 18F didn’t bend the knee.

Before asserting that something like this is happening because he says he can do it, journalists should ask what the statutory authority is, and if it is unclear or nonexistent, the headline and story should reflect that.

I know we can’t run around on fire every time Trump says something but he appears to have just announced the new US policy on Gaza which is to take ownership of it, ethnically cleanse it of the 1.8 million Palestinians there and maintain a long term ownership stake as it’s “developed.”
