Today I was waiting in line to check out of the medical center and the husband of the woman in front of me -- who had to do a LOT -- struck up a conversation. He is a retired dairyman but he knows that it's getting hard for big dairies to recruit milkers due to the immigration crackdown. 81 years old and he has a better head on his shoulders than the local MAGA crowd.
I posted this on Joyce Vance's substack yesterday re Justice Barrett's insane opinion on universal injunctions. It bears repeating here:
“Because the universal injunction lacks a historical pedigree, it falls outside the bounds of a federal court’s equitable authority under the Judiciary Act.”
The whole goddam Constitution lacked a historical pedigree when it was written! It is a living document, amended and clarified on a daily basis. There are no words to describe the danger we are in. Only the Supreme Court can rule against the Executive. And if the Court and the Executive are a team, then tyranny is the result. This is EXACTLY what Hitler achieved.
This is a tragic and ominous situation. We need a mass grassroots movement to stop it in addition to the crippled legal system. Jim, I'm sure you know the damage Palantir is doing in terms of assisting ICE with AI. Isn't it time to start talking more about Thiel and his role? Also about JD Vance, Thiel's man in the White House, who could become President any time if Trump dies of a heart attack or has a stroke b/o his cardiovascular disease etc. Thanks for considering.

It’s Eugenics just like the deeply flawed Covid response was eugenics. Covid killed people of color, men and the elderly in larger numbers than other groups.
Medicaid cuts will disproportionately affect the elderly, disabled, and Trump’s “usual targets”.
1776 all over again with 47 starring in his mad, mad, mad reality Presidential show as King George III

And they said it can't happen here.
