Resistors report arrests and injuries, including being pushed into barbed wire. CBP confirmed that all four cottonwoods marked for removal there are now gone. Centuries of life destroyed for two parallel walls cutting through the borderlands. We’re heartbroken and we’re angry!

For more than 70 days, resistors took turns sitting in the branches of the “Grandmother” cottonwood in Lochiel, Arizona, trying to save it and the habitat around it. This morning, Border Patrol raided their camp, removed the tree sitter, and contractors knocked it down.

This is an important statement people, and especially elected Dems need to really understand. The current Republican project is one of destruction, by design. Yes, they have other goals, in RFK’s case he’s objectively pro-disease, but their primary metric of success is breaking government.

In 1974, Cornell lecturer Lin Farley began recognizing a pattern in the experiences women shared in her Women and Work course: women were being pushed out of jobs by men’s sexual behavior. Farley coined the term, “sexual harassment.”

A reminder that if not for the Supreme Court in US v. MORRISON, Jane Doe would have had access to the federal courts for a civil rights action. The Court said that rape is a local matter no matter how great the impact on commerce.

This will be one of the most important immigration cases in a generation. The Trump admin claims that a 1996 law mandates the detention of millions of people without any right to a bond hearing; every person who entered illegally, no matter how long in the past. If they win, it's a nightmare.

This was the first thing I wrote after I left the Washington Post almost three years ago. What a wild ride (to hell) it has been. gillianbrockell.com/one-neat-tri...

So, here it is - with apologies to my former editor for getting this out way too late - one neat trick that proves the Civil War was not about states' rights:
If the Civil War had been about upholding states' rights, then slave states would have been fine with non-slave states passing laws protecting Black residents who had self-emancipated ("run away") from slave states. Slave states weren't fine with that.
They pushed a federal law - the Fugitive Slave Act - that superseded states' rights, forcing federal marshals to arrest and transport these people, regardless of the laws of the state they were in.
Bloop! That's it!
In the lead-up the Civil War, this was a common point made by antislavery activists
- a ubiquitous thing we have somehow forgotten, like sewing our own clothes or shape-note singing.
