Wandering through government and academia, Paris in my dreams.
This makes me furious and sad beyond words. I’ve been fortunate to witness naturalization ceremonies at Faneuil Hall and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and I’ll never forget them. Their oath, their pride in their new home, made me proud to be an American. Tonight I’ll cry different tears.
“She showed up as scheduled, and when she arrived, officers were asking everyone what country they were from, and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.”

The dual state is two-faced twice over: it is characterized by a bifurcation in the law, but also by the facade of normalcy, obscuring the fact of an authoritarian state.
Life in the early months of Trump’s second presidency hews to this framework in important respects.

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.
Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.
ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.
Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.

The United States could have great things like this. But we like to spend our money on kidnapping people and trafficking them to concentration camps instead. #Priorities

One of the biggest problems with the world is that fools are always so sure and certain about everything and intelligent people are so full of doubts and uncertainties.

A teacher breaks down after ICE causes multiple schools to lockdown during graduation ceremonies and parents to flee for their lives.
Only the soulless aren’t hurting from what is happening in our country. This is affecting all of us.

This Administration is turning its back on science. If you never had the measles or polio, thank science. If you use a smartphone as easily as a computer, thank science. If you want to know if it will be raining tomorrow, thank science. A total disaster is coming.

The U.S. had a pretty good run as the leader of the free world. It will be missed.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.
Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.
