Imma try and keep this short, but this is what i think is importantly historically. The 1960s civil rights laws and decisions were not technically "new legislation." it was a restoration of what already was.

GOLDMAN: Do you know what other regimes in the 20th century required similar proof of citizenship?
LYONS: Various nefarious regimes did that
GOLDMAN: Is Nazi Germany one?

It is absolutely outrageous that Moderna’s flu vaccine was met with a “refusal-to-file” even after their approved their protocol with FDA and carried out the trial as agreed. This vaccine works better in older adults than the current flu vaccines.

ICE took the flower man in Echo Park 40 minutes ago. He’s at this corner every day. I’ve bought flowers from the man and woman here for anniversaries and birthdays. Lemmy loves to smell them whenever we walk by in the mornings. I was just at the street corner 15 minutes before it happened. Fuck.

Right to free speech? Well of course. As long as you’re still here in the US, which of course is at our whim.
Right to free assembly? Sure, as long as you didn’t protest against our policies and become an “enemy combatant” in the process.
Etc.

This is bullshit—of course the US could apply diplomatic pressure to have him returned—but if it is allowed to stand, the executive branch has the power to disappear people permanently without any sort of due process.
That in turn will be the end of all other constitutionally guaranteed rights.

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important:
He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.
