I wish the Dems had chosen a different DNC chair than Ken Martin. He seems like a “nice guy” which is not exactly what is needed. He doesn’t speak with authority and seems apologetic before he utters a word. We need strength, even bluster to counteract all the other noise.

There is a plan to have veterans block Trump’s military parade for his birthday. As much as I would love to see that, the set up is rife with with risks for violence we have never seen in our country. What do others think?

This is horrifying. Trump is testing his ability to impose totalitarian rule on the United States. He & his Republican henchmen are traitors. IF WE TOLERATE THIS, WE LOSE EVERYTHING. Get in the streets. Rise up. Fight this tyranny, or live in fear. If he can arrest a governor, he can arrest you.

The sad thing is, if the key people who work at 60 Minutes all leave, Trump ultimately gets what he wants: A compliant broadcast which will be favorable to him so he can lie with impunity Because he’ll have the veneer of authority from a formerly independent press apnews.com/article/60-m...

The top producer at '60 Minutes' has quit. He says he can no longer run the show as he always has

NEW: @aclu.org obtained ICE's "Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide," confirming all it takes to be sent to rot in prison in El Salvador is being Venezuelan and 1) having a tattoo an ICE officer says is a "gang tattoo" and 2) displaying "logos," "symbols" or clothes an ICE officer says are gang signs.
ALIEN ENEMIES ACT:
ALIEN ENEMY VALIDATION GUIDE
In the case of: ________________________________ A-File No:__________________
1. The person named above is fourteen years or older:
2. The person named above is not a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United
States:
3. The person named above is a citizen of Venezuela:
If any of these three requirements are not satisfied, the person named above shall not
be ordered removed under the Alien Enemies Act (AEA). In such a case, you should consult
your supervisor and the Office of the Principal Legal Advisor (OPLA), U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement, and, where applicable, initiate removal proceedings under the
Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
4. The person named above is validated as a member of Tren de Aragua (TDA), as
determined by reference to the following evaluation form:
Instructions: Complete the following validation evaluation form for each suspected
alien targeted for removal under the AEA, or, following apprehension, for each alien
potentially subject to an AEA removal.
After accounting for the two comments below, aliens scoring 8 points and higher are
validated as members of TDA; you should proceed with issuing Form AEA-21B, titled, “Notice
and Warrant of Apprehension and Removal under the Alien Enemies Act.” Aliens scoring 6 or
7 points may be validated as members of TDA; you should consult with a supervisor and
OPLA, reviewing the totality of the facts, before making that determination; if you determine
an alien should not be validated at this time as a member of TDA, when available, you should
initiate removal proceedings under the INA. Alien scoring 5 points or less should not be
validated at this time as member of TDA; when available, you should initiate removal
proceedings under the INA.The following alt-text is excerpted of a larger checklist, as the whole page doesn't fit within alt-text character limits.

Comment 2: For purposes of validating an alien as a member of TDA, at least one
scoring category must involve conduct occurring, or information received, within the past five
years.
Valuation Explanation

memorandums) identifying the subject as a member of TDA, describing

Donald Trump wants to run for a 3rd term. Roosevelt ran for 3rd and 4th term because we were in a World War. Trump said he would try some things to make it possible. Would he engage in a war to attempt that as an excuse? Of course he would. His stupid talk has real consequences.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.
