Part of the reason many Germans supported the Nazis was that there really was a lot of violence in the streets & they wanted order. But much of that violence was carried out by the Nazi paramilitary SA.

So the Nazis presented themselves as the solution to a problem they intentionally created

Videos taken by eye witnesses of federal agent encounters with immigrants in Chicago and elsewhere have shown increasingly tense incidents. Immigrant advocates and observers say they're indicative of a larger trend of aggression among federal immigration officers.

the whole economy is at a standstill. if no one is hiring and no one is quitting, what do they need an army of recruiters for? I'm not defending RTO, I just don't think this is indicative of something localized to amazon.

Finding out that the people in charge are often petulant hypocrites is one of the most valuable things you can learn in college and will undoubtedly make these student journalists even better at their jobs.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

Remember the Trump administration's unsuccessful Labor Day effort to expel children to Guatemala?

The lawyers filed an amended complaint today, expanding the scope of the litigation — reflecting the long-term goals of the administration to do the same thing with kids from many countries.

INTRODUCTION
1. This is a complaint on behalf of hundreds of children at risk of unlawful removal
from the United States.
2. Plaintiffs are unaccompanied minors in Office of Refugee Resettlement (“ORR”)
custody whom Defendants have sought or are seeking to remove from the United States in clear
violation of the unambiguous protections that Congress has provided them as vulnerable
children. Defendants have unlawfully claimed the power to expel these children, in violation of
the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (“TVPRA”), the Immigration
and Nationality Act (“INA”), and the Constitution. Plaintiffs seek to represent a class of
unaccompanied children who are or will be placed in ORR custody and who do not have a final
order of removal or grant of voluntary departure by an immigration judge

the president is immune from personal liability because of SCOTUS, and the republican party is immune from social repercussions because of foxnews.

OK, I had a lot of behind-the-scenes, admin work to get done today.

I’ll be at SCOTUS in the morning, covering another effort from the right to kill off what little is left of the Voting Rights Act.
