New calligraphic work: "On Resisting ICE and the DHS"
This one is complex enough that I am providing a key to how it's structured, similar to those keys you see that show how a Talmud page is divided up. See the alt for the explanation.

We cannot move forward or escape this nightmare until mainstream figures finally admit that there are many, many people on the right - including some of its most powerful voices - who are openly seeking violence and tyranny and exploit every situation to move it closer.

Do not remember the man by his words or actions. Remember him by the words and actions you invent for him, in order to justify saying the things you think you’re expected to say about him. That’s how modern “journalism” works. Truth must be subordinated to political necessity.

At Law Dork, I wrote about that Oval Office visit — and what it means:
Trump told us the horrifying reason why Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not back in the U.S.
The Trump administration wants to send Americans to foreign prisons. Keeping Abrego Garcia in El Salvador is key to that lawless plan.
