  • Yes. He is now directly and mockingly violating the constitution and an explicit Supreme Court order. It is now a completely naked constitutional crisis for all the public to see.

    Reasonable people have seen it happening since long before today, but today marks a shift from a more covert assault to an open one, and that is noteworthy.

    Eta: I don't mean they were really covert before, either, to be clear. They dropped any remaining veil of plausible deniability today though. And then also let it slip on recording that the intent is to deprive US citizens of due process and ship "terrorists" (read: undesirables) to El Salvador, too. Today is a historic day, sadly.

  • Sure, but those folks tend to pass the paper bag test in higher numbers than Muslims (mosques) and Latinos (heavy Catholic leaning)

  • I'm thinking mosques and Catholic churches in the you-know-why-hombre parts of town first, but your point remains and probably everyone should pay attention and be concerned

  • We're already well-started down this path with brown people that we aren't at war with. The group of undesirables must constantly expand under fascist rule. To answer you succinctly: incredibly likely, perhaps even a near certainty

  • The government is laying the groundwork for reestablishing federal mental institutions while also putting a fresh target on autism. This is manufacturing consent to expand the group of others. First they came for the immigrants, and I did not speak up... You know the poem. The outgroup is ever-growing and it starts when they put you under a microscope

  • This is the one to watch. All of the cases are important, of course, but this one has come to a head. The top layer of the judicial branch has issued an order at odds with the wishes of the Trump administration, and it's the executive branch's constitutional responsibility to see that the order is carried out.

    This is where we find out if our fascist leader has any guardrails left to protect our democracy or if we truly live in a fascist state where people can be disappeared with complete public awareness at the whim and pleasure of ICE.

  • An 8-year-old girl with measles died Thursday morning, the second measles-related death in an ongoing outbreak that has infected nearly 500 Texans since January.

    Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vaccine skeptic, is expected to visit Texas Sunday, NBC News reported.

    The child was not vaccinated and had no known underlying health conditions, said a spokesperson for University Medical Center in Lubbock, where the child had been hospitalized. "This unfortunate event underscores the importance of vaccination," the statement read. "We encourage all individuals to stay current with their vaccinations to help protect themselves and the broader community."

    This disease was beaten. This is child abuse and should maybe even be considered manslaughter given the willful negligence.

  • Do they want torches and pitchforks? Because continuously allowing open corruption to go unchallenged in full view of the public is how you get torches and pitchforks.

  • Vote against fascists if you want even a chance of your vote counting in the future! Lol

  • It's soul crushing at this point to see how effectively a bad actor can fuck up the US. A carnival barker is nominating arsonists and telling everyone the bonfire is going to be amazing and loved by all, and instead of giving consideration to what the fuel for the bonfire will be, the half of the Senate comprised of arsonists and pyromaniacs has decided the bonfire must be funded at all costs and should be the biggest bonfire ever.

    I fucking hate this. Fuck fascists.

  • This is the baseline standard we should be expecting in these trying times. Extenuating circumstances call for extenuating measures, and our representatives need to start showing up for the job in visible and historic ways just like this. Set the standard and hold the line. Fascists are not honest negotiators.

  • I believe we are rapidly headed toward smoking counterfeit Cuban cigars laced with unknown amounts of formaldehyde inside stuck elevators, sadly
