While I'm hopeful as anyone for serious backlash this election I still shudder when I think that if DJT weren't so excessively grifting and cavalier and hadn't launched reckless tariffs and an "excursion" without an endgame, we could easily be facing continued GOP consolidation of power.

just gonna share some paragraphs that jump out at me.
At Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Roseville, agents captured license plate
information of attendees during a meeting of anti-ICE protesters and activists. Agents then
used this information to obtain the names of the attendees, searched social media for
pictures of these individuals, and compiled an “intel workup” that included names, photos,
addresses, personal information – including family and employment information – and
vehicle registration information, for each meeting attendee. None of these individuals did
anything other than engage in protected First Amendment speech in a church meeting
room. Yet now their personal information is memorialized in a DHS dossier

A report on the ground from the ICE shooting in Biddeford that should make every parent in this country lose their minds:
Cecelia Humiston, 22, lives on Chapel Street. She was asleep with her two-year-old son when she woke up to the sounds of a commotion on surrounding streets.

When she went to investigate, she saw what appeared to be a person lying on the ground on Pool Street.

She remembers hearing an older woman with a distressed family, yelling, “You took her dad, you took her dad!”

“They were with a little girl, she couldn't have been older than three,” Humiston said. “She was still in her Bluey pajamas.”

Humiston described law enforcement as “rude,” and said they barricaded family’s car from leaving. Another yelled at the little girl, who was trying to smell flowers.

OOP New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!' www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...
Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows:

"In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis.

When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."
