“Silly” is a good way to put it! There were excesses in 2020 but they were mostly low-stakes efforts by well-intentioned people to address real injustices. The excesses of the right during the same era were far more harmful. The reckoning we need now is about how elites lost sight of that.

So what this describes is ethnic cleansing www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/w...

But behind the scenes, Israeli officials have conveyed a more targeted message.

In private calls to local leaders across southern Lebanon, Israeli military officials have assured several Christian and Druse communities that they could remain in the evacuation zone. They have pressed them, however, to force out any Lebanese from neighboring Shiite Muslim communities who have sought refuge among them as Israeli bombardment flatten Shiite towns, according to local Christian, Druse and Shiite leaders who spoke to The New York Times. The Shiites make up the majority of southern Lebanon.

The total capture of the DOJ, seemingly with very little pushback or resistance, is one of the most striking examples of the capitulation of American elites in the face of authoritarianism. It’s been less than a year, and federal prosecutions or investigations are already completely discredited.

Lawgeeks, Kilmar Abrego Garcia's reply filing in support of his motion to dismiss the criminal case in Tennessee for vindictive and selective prosecution is an excellent, powerful (and short) read. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The Executive Branch cannot whitewash a vindictive and selective prosecution by running
it through a prosecutor who turns a blind eye to the motivations that launched it. And this is hardly
the only time the President has sought to use DOJ to get revenge: The U.S. Attorney in the Eastern
District of Virginia was forced from office for not vindictively charging New York Attorney
General Letitia James.1
 In our case, the Chief of the Criminal Division resigned rather than bring
this vindictive prosecution himself. That Mr. McGuire professes to believe that this case is a
righteous one, while claiming ignorance of its origins, is no answer to our motion. It’s a dodge.
In the government’s telling, this case started on April 27, 2025, when HSI Nashville
presented the case to Mr. McGuire. (Dkt. 121-1 ¶ 4). That ignores weeks of retributive government
conduct punishing Mr. Abrego for challenging his unlawful deportation: officials’ statements that
he is a “gangbanger,” “monster,” “predator,” “terrorist,” and “wife beater”; an Oval Office Abbott
and Costello routine about how neither President Trump nor President Bukele nor Attorney
General Bondi—Mr. McGuire’s ultimate boss—had the power to return him; and the ultimate
decision, made by officials senior to Mr. McGuire before the case was presented to him, to gin up
an investigation and prosecution. (Dkt. 105 at 8-12). On the facts, the government’s perspective is
conveniently tunnel visioned. On the law, what Mr. McGuire may believe is irrelevant. Despite
the government’s many distractions, Mr. Abrego has presented clear, unrebutted evidence of
vindictiveness warranting dismissal or, at a minimum, discovery and a hearing.

The Times has to issue a correction here. An Executive order can’t “require” any such thing. Calling it ‘an aggressive push to catch” fraud is bad editorial judgment. The first part is demonstrably false. Those who have any voice to the Times need to demand this. Might as well say pigs fly.
