It really should tell us something how many of these institutions will tolerate abuse, but not activism.

"The Indian Question" now joins "The Jewish Question" as a shorthand for a dream of ethnic cleansing. As with the mass purge of Haitians, Christopher Rufo again seeks to play a central role in this descent into ethnonationalist fascism.

Something is deeply broken about the political discourse uk . Between this and “let them drown” chants it’s really got genocidal energy. Abhorrent that it’s happening and appalling that so many in the media made money on setting us on this path

This is APPALLING. The Trump administration is detaining multiple random Somali immigrants with no criminal record at Guantanamo Bay, seemingly because the White House ordered ICE specifically to detain Somalis at Gitmo as part of its effort to punish an ethnic group Trump has attacked.
According to Mohamed, guards at Guantanamo have said they are being held there because that's what officials in Washington, DC, want. "There's no other nation, only Somali people in Guantanamo Bay, in the prison," he told me. "And when we ask them why we are here, they tell us... Washington...ordered to keep Somali people in the Guantanamo Bay."

“‘How long won’t you stand for injustice?’ asks Brecht’s Mother Courage. If you’re going to get tired after half an hour, she advises, or after a week, or after a month, you might as well leave right now.” Elaine Scarry in 2008 on the imperative of addressing crimes through law, not just elections:

The crimes of the Bush administration must be addressed through legal instruments, not simply through the electoral repudiation of bad policy.

Or will it? What will this shift over to the rule of law mean? It will mean that when we are led by a person who does not believe in the rule of law, we will not as a country follow the rule of law; and when we are led by a person who does believe in the rule of law, we will follow the rule of law. If that is the case, the United States will continue to be what it has been during the last eight years: a country governed by the rule of men (their beliefs, their preferences, their choices), not by the rule of law where beliefs, preferences, and choices are constrained by invariable and nonnegotiable prohibitions on cruelty and fraud). Just as one might
