if GOP loses TX, they have to sweep GA, NV, WI, MI, PA, NC to win presidency. It is just an existential crisis for them.

They're literally copying the Gestapo, which is just an acronym in German for "Secret State Police." That's LITERALLY what ICE is. They are also doing Schutzhaft, including operating outside the normal prison system. They have *actually* created the Gestapo. No analogy. Just like - actually did.

Police violence is a systemic problem in the U.S., not simply incidental, and it happens on a scale far greater than other wealthy nations.

After her denied appeal, Wood went to Cornell’s Human Affairs Program, where Farley, Susan Meyer, and Karen Sauvigné helped her find feminist lawyers to continue fighting the denial. The women began organizing around her experience, but Wood’s case still failed.

In 1975, Cornell employee Carmita Wood resigned after persistent unwanted sexual advances from a professor. When she applied for unemployment benefits, her claim was denied on the grounds that she had left for “personal non-compelling reasons.” She appealed and was denied.
