Grung_e_Gene, who happens to work in law enforcement, ain’t buying the Trump maladministration’s attempt to justify lynchings extra-judicial killings by ICE. Here’s a bit from his post:

Yet, again the Gestapho imitators at ICE have launched an attack on a person not committing a crime, in unmarked vehicles, while not in uniform, wearing regular clothing, while masked, guns drawn, seemingly without identifying themselves, using their vehicles as a weapon, and thus ended up executing a man.

Stray Thought 0

As I read this piece by the Rude One (warning: rudeness), I couldn’t help but remember that one of the primary motives for promoting racism (and indeed hatred and bigotry in general) is to keep the working classes divided and unable to unite against their oppressors.

The Rule of Lawless 0

In The Seattle Times, federal judges from the Western District of Washington state warn us the rule of law is in danger. They begin with a bit of history:

One of the Declaration’s grievances was that the King of England had taken control of the levers of justice: He not only wielded the power to appoint all judges but, as stated in another grievance, he also “made Judges dependent on his Will alone[.]” At the time, judges relied entirely on the King’s grace for their jobs and their compensation. Any judge who ruled against royal interests risked losing his livelihood (the first female judge would not be appointed until over a century later). The result? Capitulation and obedience.

Read the whole article to learn why they believe this to be relevant to today.

The Unifying Factor 0

Michael in Norfolk looks at how Trump and the Trumpettes are reacting to the Supreme Supremacist Court’s decision to uphold the U. S. Constitution–specifically birthright citizenship–and points out what should be obvious to anyone who has been paying attention:

Despite what they may say, one of the underlying motivation for the MAGA base – and the Felon and his minions – is racism.

Michael in Norfolk calls out the goal of the unholy alliance between Trump and right-wing Christians:

It’s an agenda long pushed by far right “Christians” who want nothing less than a de facto theocracy with themselves in charge. Ironically, these same people rail against Iran’s Islamic theocracy and its abuse of citizens even as they seek to impose a theocracy of their own that will abuse and marginalize those who do not subscribe to their hate and fear based beliefs.
