Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.
A US-born woman born was confronted by sheriff deputies in Louisiana who were convinced her ID and social security card were fakes. They turned her over to ICE, who shackled her & took her an hour away. Even after a lawyer convinced ICE of the woman's citizenship the sheriff says they did no wrong

The U.S.-born young mother presented ICE and sheriff’s deputies with her ID and Social Security card. Agents took her anyway.

So when I started seeing reports of kids hurt by tear gas deployed by federal immigration agents, I wondered how often it was happening.

If U Penn loses its appeal, it will be required to question every staff member to compile a list of Jewish staff members. They must then turn that list over to Kash Patel, who has appeared on rabidly antisemitic, Holocaust-denial podcasts at least eight times.

the only way to prevent authoritarian takeover is mass non-cooperation and resistance.
Never, in the entire history of social movements, has a society gone from minimal participation to mass non-cooperation without stepping stones along the way.
Mass protests are good, even when they're imperfect.

We are 3-4 weeks away from a global food catastrophe and everyone is focused on gas prices. Once US farmers can’t fertilize for corn crops and their is a 30% shortfall in both ingredient and feedstock corn. Every major food label will start to raise prices. Neither livestock nor people will get fed.
