The most corrupt president in history, using paramilitaries to wage war on the population, awarding himself billions of dollars, bulldozing the White House to build himself a golden palace, unilaterally torpedoing millions of ballots Democrats: five working groups on affordability

It seems like a design flaw that we have no realistically plausible means of imposing consequences on the people in our society with the most power to destroy the foundational principles and rules of our society

Any of us could become illegal if the government suddenly declares us as such. The administration is not interested in ensuring people follow the law; it is interested in placing groups it loathes (primarily because of the color of their skin) into the category of law-breaker, so it can punish them.

The "offense" committed by Haitians is that they were here legally, working jobs, completing degrees, and so forth, and then the administration abruptly revoked their status, rendering their presence illegal. They have literally been TRANSFORMED into illegal immigrants by the admin's own policies.

You ever think about how the Roman Senate kept meeting centuries into the reigns of emperors. Hanging out, shooting the shit, giving speeches, and play-acting that their positions of privilege remained positions of power.

The powers that be in US media decided a while ago democracy and rule of law are boring. A reality TV / prestige antihero show about a personalist dictatorship is more exciting. So instead of “President Interferes, Violating Constitutional Principle,” it’s “Will Voters Stupidly Make Him Hit Them?”

It's infuriating that the entire political universe understands why this is happening - Donald Trump and Stephen Miller are gutter bigots whose nativist politics are rooted in their all-consuming hatred of nonwhite foreigners - but for some reason we can't say it out loud.
