Microcosm of the horror of this post-Callais moment: the Mississippi House plans to hold its redistricting session in the Old Capitol where they seceded & instituted Jim Crow. They'll meet there aiming to erase Bennie Thompson's district — the one majority-Black district in a state that's ~40% Black

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. #NoKings

An image of a list of the 27 grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 20 of them in whole or in part, condensed into the list below:
1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
2. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation …
3. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people.
4. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; … obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners …
5. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice …
6. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices …
7. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
8. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
9. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
10. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution … giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
11. For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
12. For protecting them … from punishment for any Murders which they should commit …
13. For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
14. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
15. For depriving us … of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
16. For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
17. For … abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
18. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
19. He has … destroyed the lives of our people.
20. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us …

One of the most remarkable parts of the Trump/Miller ICE fiasco is that they wear vests claiming they are "police." Not all law enforcement are police. ICE is ICE, police are police. America has never had a Federal police force. "Police" is a lie, an Orwellian deception.

Within hours of the U.S. blowing up a girls' school in Iran, the U.S. military knew what it had done. The Trump regime failed to take responsibility and said it was "under investigation" in hopes that it would be old news by the time it became indisputable that children were massacred in our name.

This raid didn’t get much press at the time because it’s Idaho. But it’s truly shocking. And it shows that these policies work like we’ve alleged in Alabama. The scale just makes it so much harder to minimize the harm of a show-me-your papers regime. These people weren’t let go “promptly.”

The new appointee in charge is learning the costs of politicization. He has no criminal justice experience. The people who know what they are doing are leaving. Actual criminal prosecutions are not being done. Authoritarianism inevitably bends towards incompetence.

In a declaration submitted as part of an immigration lawsuit late last month, Mr. Rosen described an office under extraordinary strain as a severely understaffed team found itself contending with a “flood” of cases that have grown out of the federal immigration crackdown. He said detained immigrants had filed more than 420 lawsuits in January alone. The office, he wrote, “is operating in a reactive mode,” with lawyers and paralegals “continuously working overtime.”

Chief O’Hara said he was disappointed that Mr. Rosen had been unable to keep veteran prosecutors from leaving the office. “I couldn’t imagine being the leader of a team where so many of the best players that are just so central to the mission decide they’ve got to walk away because they don’t want their integrity to be compromised,” he said.

A Trump loyalist took over the Minnesota office, and doubled down on the loyalist abuse of the law, trying to investigate Renee Good and her wife rather than the person who killed her. At this point, career civil servants left, and were immediately labeled "deep state" by the Attorney general.

Mr. Rosen, who took office as U.S. attorney in October, urged his top deputies again to seek the alternative warrant that leaders in Washington had called for, focusing on a criminal investigation into Ms. Good’s partner and her behavior and ties to protest groups.

At that, Mr. Thompson submitted his resignation letter. Others soon followed.

Soon after, Ms. Bondi told Fox News that the lawyers who left “suddenly decided they didn’t want to support the men and women at ICE.” Referring to them as members of the “deep state,” Ms. Bondi said she had fired them, resulting in the loss of months of unused vacation they had banked.
