Senator Hale, 1851, dropping truth bombs about the Fugitive Slave Act that apply just as well to Trump's efforts to send troops do "mass deportation" against the will of the people (Cong. Globe, 31st Congress, session 2, p. 598)

A couple more thoughts on this. There is exactly one crime defined in the U.S. Constitution: treason. The first definition is levying war against the United States. Trump is explicitly threatening that. U.S. soldiers are not only permitted, they are *obliged* to refuse an order to commit treason.

The president does not have the power to make laws. That’s literally the first (operative) sentence in the constitution. The president does not have the power to make laws. The president does not have the power to make laws. The president does not have the power to make laws.

Oh boy I can't wait for the "liberal professors are just doing indoctrination we need intellectual diversity!!!" crowd to switch seamlessly to this position

Perhaps the ultimate case of political beliefs being resistant to new information, this woman still supports trump even as she says that as a result of his fascist immigration policies "my life was ruined." www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

My god this is really everything the left has been saying in one tweet. uncontrolled Capitalism (in the form of delivery apps) creates interpersonal and class conflict, and then evil fucks in the pay of the rich (Ahmari) fan the flames of racism to divert blame and divide the working class.

Slightly mad thought: is it actually advantageous for republicans that their presidents are all so dumb? Dumb leaders (Reagan, W, Trump) seem to let their smart unelectable monsters (Cheney, Miller, Vought) run wild, whereas smart leaders (Obama, Clinton) get in the own ways/the ways of their teams?
