if you're seeing similarities btwn McCarthyism/COINTELPRO and the Trump admin, you're not alone. My newest for @americanprogress.bsky.social is on the history of suppressing protest in the U.S. & how this admin may surveil & suppress dissidents in the future

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court. Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business. As well as everyone else who stepped up.

NEW!: Healing American politics may be simpler than we think. States already have the authority to define—and limit—the powers they grant to corporations. My new piece in The States Forum explains how reclaiming that power can make Citizens United irrelevant.

The SAVE Act would require every American citizen to show a passport or birth certificate and government ID to vote. 146 MILLION Americans do not have a passport. 69 MILLION women do not have a valid birth certificate due to surname changes. The SAVE Act is an anti-voter bill.

Contrast this report with Brett Kavanaugh's recent description of ICE's raids. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
Under this Court’s precedents, not to mention common
sense, those circumstances taken together can constitute at
least reasonable suspicion of illegal presence in the United
States. Importantly, reasonable suspicion means only that
immigration officers may briefly stop the individual and
inquire about immigration status. If the person is a U. S.
citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that
individual will be free to go after the brief encounter. Only
if the person is illegally in the United States may the stop
lead to further immigration proceedings

It's jarring for Miller to admit they want plenary authority but this isn't new. They've been trying to do this since jan 20. And the co-branches are letting them! Congress relegated their checks and balances via their inaction and SCOTUS has given the greenlight. why does no one have a backbone?!
