Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be
A screenshot from the New York Time reads: nytimes #
Black women lost 319,000 jobs between February and July of this year, the only major female demographic to experience significant job losses during this five-month period.
White men saw the largest job increase - 365,000 - among groups.

I’d say the main takeaway of this is that no matter how many people he tortures, deports, imprisons, bankrupts, invades, ridicules, bombs, etc, Trump still manages to be more popular than Biden.

Every single university president should be asked, in public, why they are not speaking out this way to support all the students currently detained without due process, and all those terrified that they will be next, on every campus in this country. Yes, including Columbia's acting president.

UPDATE on Mahmoud Khalil from his lawyers and his wife: "Today I spoke to Mahmoud and he is healthy and his spirits are undaunted by his predicament." (Legal team now includes ACLU, CCR.)
For full alt text, follow pastebin link in next post. Partial text:

Amy E. Greer, attorney for Mahmoud Khalil provided the following update this evening:

                First, importantly, today I spoke to Mahmoud and he is healthy and his spirits are undaunted by his predicament.  He also greatly appreciates, and, typically for him, is moved by the extraordinarily broad and steadfast support he has received from a variety of communities that understand what is at stake.  He is in ICE custody in Louisiana, and arrangements have been made for local attorneys to visit him today and tomorrow.

                The remarks by government officials, including the President, on social media only confirm the purpose – and illegality – of Mahmoud's detention.  He was chosen as an example to stifle entirely lawful dissent in violation of the First Amendment.  While tomorrow or thereafter the government may cite the law or process, that toothpaste is out of the tube and irreversibly so.  The government’s objective is as transparent as it is unlawful, and our role as Mahmoud’s lawyers is to ensure it does not prevail.        

                Today Mahmoud's legal team, which includes Kyle Barron, CLEAR, the Center for Constitutional Rights, the American Civil Liberties Union, and Amy Greer filed a motion to compel in federal court in the Southern District of New York, as part of the habeas corpus petition filed on his behalf over the weekend, seeking an order requiring the government to return to New York for any immigration proceedings.

But party pressure within parliamentary systems can also act to topple a leader without a formal mechanism - as Johnson said when he resigned despite all attempts to do the opposite: “when the herd moves, it moves”.

Silly Sausage @appallnepal.bsky.social · 03/03/2025
It’s true and that’s where a spill of the leader can come into play - again, not helpful if the leader is incredibly popular or has a grip on the party (like Trump).

If this were a parliamentary system there would have been a Vote of No Confidence in him by now and he would be shafted (see: Australia between 2009-2013 and UK for pretty much the last ten years).

If the United States is now allied with Russia, an enemy of the United Kingdom, surely it should be US that is forced out? How can we be certain that the CIA is not sharing British, Canadian and Aussie intel with Russia?
