We asked PAXIS App why so many legal resident and citizens including veterans have been aggressively targeted by ICE: PAXIS says: U.S. citizens and legal residents have been taken from their homes at gunpoint, denied the opportunity to present ID, and transported in cuffs before being released with no charges—after trauma has already been inflicted. ❌ Wrongful Detentions Aren’t “Accidents.” They Are Failures of Due Diligence.

I wrote about Justice Neil Gorsuch Pikachu-facing throughout oral argument in Wolford v. Lopez today bc the Court told states that modern gun laws must have "historical analogues" and, as it turns out, a lot of historical laws are racist

The Supreme Court’s “History and Tradition” Test Just Ran Into America’s History and Tradition of Anti-Black Racism
Requiring "historical analogues" for modern gun laws eventually turns up some history that makes even the conservative justices uncomfortable.

Blood on the streets of Tehran, where the scent of freshly baked bread and flowers usually drifts through the air — the sound of traffic replaced by gunfire from Islamic Republic security forces acting, ultimately, on the orders of the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei.

Long Live Iran.

If ICE can drag people out of a church, then spare me the sermon about where protest is allowed. You don’t get to sanctify the building after the state already desecrated it. Save the pearl clutching.

Two things can be true at once:

1. It is Congress' job to impeach and remove Trump immediately

2. It is the military's job to disobey unlawful orders, and invading Greenland is one

It is not up to the armed forces to put a stop to Trump’s ghastly ideas of war against NATO. The United States is not run by the military, nor should it be. Americans, and their elected representatives, must take this burden away from the armed forces—now.

Renewed chatter about a double-top in CPI, as we saw in the 1970s — “a time of large policy errors .. and price controls.

“.. Today’s economy bears some resemblance to that era, even if the circumstances and economic shocks—like the pandemic—are different.”

There are Americans facing genocide and the world that doesn’t open its arms to Americans who need safe passage is a world that is leaving people to die, as it once did to Europe’s Jews

The study found that only about 4% of the tariff burden is shouldered by foreign firms, with a “near-complete” pass-through of 96% to US buyers.
Americans Bear Almost All the Cost of Trump Tariffs, Study Shows
President Donald Trump’s duties on imported goods are paid almost entirely by American importers, their domestic customers and ultimately US consumers, a study from a German think tank concluded.
