If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law.
ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad.
They must be held accountable.

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight.
Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like.
We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.

So the Republican Congress can pass a bill renaming the Gulf of Mexico, but can't seem to find the time to stop Trump's erosion of checks and balances or tackle rising housing and grocery costs?
Their priorities couldn’t be more clear.

ICE agents *know* what they are doing is probably illegal, which is why they try to conceal their identities with scarves and sunglasses. #AmericanGestapo

“After school shootings, many Republicans try to shift the public conversation away from gun violence and toward mental health programs that might make mass shootings less likely. Student mental health grants had bipartisan support.
“Trump is cutting them anyway.”

Student mental health grants had bipartisan support, but Trump is cutting them anyway
There’s no good reason for the Trump administration to cut grants for student mental health programs. It’s happening anyway.

First, the company that owns TurboTax donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.
Now, he’s going after Direct File, the IRS program that lets you file your taxes for free.
Looks like Trump is choosing his corporate buddies over working families—again.

60% of Americans have a chronic condition. Among people over 65, it's 95%.
Saying most of our health care spending goes to chronic conditions is just another way of saying it goes to health care.

Dr Oz says being healthy is a patriotic duty Worse, he says they spend 70% of Medicare & Medicaid funds on chronic illness & aren’t “getting their money’s worth” This is the quiet part said out loud. They don’t want to cure chronic illness, they want us to take the blame. They don’t want to pay.

Stephen Miller serves a deranged authoritarian who thinks he is all powerful and can do whatever he wants. He is wrong. Our job as lawyers is to stand up to him and defeat him in court. I, for one, will never bow down or seek a deal with Trump. I will stand tall and fight.

Here is a list I recently sent to premium members of what each of us can do to stand up for democracy and defend our elections. Democracy Docket is dropping the paywall and publishing it because we must all feel the power we have to stand up to Trump and protect our democracy.

Could not agree more! My book, Saving Apartheid: White Internationalism at the End of the Cold War, traces exactly this transatlantic connection between apartheid and the American right from 1980 to 1994. Out with Columbia University Press late 2025/early 2026!

John Oliver on Trump’s ICE Gestapo: “We have an asylum process in place — and while it’s not perfect, I don’t think a key step in that process is someone smashing your window with a hammer while screaming someone else’s name at you.”
