May this violence come to an end, may all the hostages be released, and may Gazan civilians—mothers, fathers, grandparents, children and babies—be allowed respite from this nightmare they have been living.

Make no mistake, the SCOTUS decision about birthright citizenship IS ALSO ABOUT *birthright citizenship.*
The Court is using nationwide injunctions as the tail, wagging the dog, to take us back to an Antebellum view of citizenship.
That way led to war once.

In Trump v. CASA, the court hands the president yet more unaccountable authority—and yanks us into a neo-Confederate legal nightmare.

Trump, talking at Fort Bragg right now about Los Angeles, is doing something I'm not sure I've ever seen a president do: he's actively maligning people in Los Angeles — an American city — in front of U.S. troops.
And the troops are applauding.
As an Army brat myself, this strikes me as very new.

Only someone who hates the liberties this country was founded on would so quickly threaten “very heavy force” against Americans exercising their right to “peaceably…assemble” in protest.
