This story leads you to wonder whether Carney is a fool who let Smith get the better of him or a man with truly no convictions beyond the almighty dollar and its contribution to GDP growth.

An 18yo US citizen, surrounded by eight masked, armed agents of the state, taken into custody, not read his rights, not offered a chance to contact a lawyer, proof of citizenship ignored, handcuffed so tightly he later required medical attention.

... if we really want people to be held accountable this time, we will be fighting against the media, against billionaires, against big business, against the consultant class, against D leadership, against practically the entire apparatus of US politics. The architecture is *built for impunity*.

Why give in now, Northwestern?
Marjorie Taylor Greene of all people recognized that Trump isn't the future, but Northwestern's leaders apparently think it's the time to get on board.
Either they think this is forever, or they have no principles and concluded there's no downside to collaborating now.

Northwestern bent the knee, choosing to give in to extortion at the expense of academic freedom.

Among the provisions:
-Pay a big bribe
-Give the govt data on students
-Validate BS about "fighting antisemitism"
-Be cruel to trans students

Also a category that includes his mother, paternal grandparents, and two of his three wives. But of course that's different, because neither he nor de facto President Miller actually care about immigration as such. They care about racism, and it's a farce to concede the pretense it's anything else.
Trump makes the outrageous claim that “most” immigrants, which include over 25 million U.S. citizens, “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”

As insulting as the “deplorables” comment, and on Thanksgiving day no less.

The unifying aim of all Trump pronouncements and actions is to trash the constitution and impose a white supremacist militarized autocracy by EO and truth social decree - the latest attack on naturalization and birthright citizenship is an ugly new escalation of that barbaric aim.

Ordering no quarter, as Hegseth effectively did, isn't a newfangled modern war crime. It was understood as a crime as far back as the Revolutionary War. Washington threatened to do reprisals over it. The bad guy in 'The Patriot' is (very loosely) based off a British officer who was notorious for it.

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
