It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

If American history is any guide, they aren't wrong.
was talking with someone in the WH press pool a few weeks ago and he made it very clear none of these people think anything matters, that they can do whatever they want without consequences

One of Kurosawa's least good movies?
That's not how I remember it!
That's not how I remember it!
I am actually sort of sympathetic to people thinking this because so many Americans' first Kurosawa film is RASHOMON which is one of his most homework and (frankly least good) movies
People who think Kurosawa is “homework cinema” need to be slapped around a bit.

KKK recruitment card from the 1920s. MAGA is a deep expression of white racism that transcends centuries.

AI firms will spend a ton of money on Superbowl ads next January.. This always precedes the bursting of the bubble. I'd argue that it is the final step in the past 25 years of any bubble bursting.

I just don't understand the rise of white nationalism in the past few years in US and Europe. It's always been there, but why has it grown so influential? We are all richer than at any time in the past. And the immigrants have brought new foods and ideas that make life even better.

Even if Trump pardons the military members responsible for the boat murders in the Caribbean, the next Democratic president can see to it that they are discharged out of the military in an other-than-honorable discharge. Losing your pension and VA benefits is not nothing.

When right-wingers say "illegal immigrant" what they really mean is "undeserving immigrant." It's not about immigration status; it's about immigrants being successful and making more money than the native-born.

Pure speculation, but I think the rush to get the Epstrin Ballroom done at the White House is because Trump is worried he will die before it's completed.

I don't understand this position. People have a right to know how the philospher kings who rule over them think about things. 5 Supreme Court Justices can re-write entire sections of the Constitution, and besides the scarecrow of impeachment, nothing can be done to stop them.

One question I would like to have answered is why Americans have such a tough time imposing accountability on their fellow Americans? When did the culture of immunity begin?

A bunch of Americans rose up, tried to form their own country and caused the death of hundreds of thousands in defense of slavery. They got a slap on the wrist and life went on. Given that history, why would anyone think there will be any punishments for actions under the current president?
This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.

I don't agree with Charlie Kirk's political ideas at all, but I am sad that he was murdered and I wish he was still alive. I feel that way about anyone whose life was needlessly shortened. After tragedy, any tragedy, we should recommit to increasing transcendental love.
