This is what I’m talking about.

The magistrate was handed the original 3-count indictment along w/ report stating that 12+ jurors failed to concur “in finding an indictment in this case.”

Nothing indicated that the no bill was only Count 1. The foreperson added notation at magistrate direction.

Additional detail in a footnote of the government’s latest filing.

Suggests that the grand jury (other than the foreperson and deputy foreperson) had been released before second indictment was brought back to the grand jury room.

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil.

The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage.

This raid is disgusting, abominable behavior, traumatizing children and families in their homes.

Also: when a government acts brutally and lawlessly and immorally, but tells you that pointing those things out incites violence and terrorism, that government and its agents are entitled to no respect or credence.
If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?

I am at an event in Los Angeles and true to the administration’s claims it is violent, bloody, profane, and full of murderers and dangerous evil people. I mean it’s a group of middle-aged guys playing D&D but it’s definitely all of that stuff.

Trump and Hegseth are actively and overly turning the US military into a partisan political force in violation of the Constitution, and Republicans in Congress will say nothing as another pillar of the Republic comes crashing down.

TRUMP: Los Angeles would be burning today, just like their houses were burning months ago. Generations of Army heroes did not shed their blood on distant shores only to watch our country be destroyed by invasion ... as commander in chief, I will not let that happen

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse.

Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.

So far, about 1000 students have had their visas revoked.

Rubio has claimed these are activists that have vandalized libraries, taken over campuses, and done all sorts of crazy things. But Rubio or the State Dept refuses to get into the details. So lets do that.

If you are actively culling your library to keep books like "The Bell Curve" while removing criticisms of the book, you are building a white supremacist library.
Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not.

An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.
