At least one part of the judiciary still values the rule of law.
NEW: Judges are asking increasingly pointed questions about why ICE is detaining pregnant/nursing mothers — and whether a 2021 policy sharply restricting the practice remains in force.

The president’s redefining of domestic terrorism threatens Americans’ free speech rights, from joining a protest march to posting on social media. It also aims to impose draconian punishments for actions that are far removed from actual terrorism. bit.ly/4qwExhh

Rather than turn former Honduran President Hernández over to immigration officials when he was released from prison just four years into a 45-year sentence for allowing traffickers to export more than 400 tons of cocaine to the U.S, the Trump administration paid to transport him to a posh NYC hotel.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

The president of the United States had his DOJ raid the Fulton County election office and seized ballots. This is clearly a dry run for 2026. Yet, this is treated by too many in legacy media as normal.

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.
