BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.

I haven't really seen this brought up much, but it's worth noting that mass deportation *is* ethnic cleansing, and it is at the very least adjacent to genocide. Mass deportation has long been a tool in the genocidaire's toolkit. See this charming letter from a French marquise to her daughter.

The words for genocide that the French colonists and then the Haitian revolutionaries most often used were “destruction,” “massacre,” and “extermination.” The Marquise de Rouvray, wife of a famous French colonist and military leader, penned a painfully detailed outline for the total “destruction or deportation” of the free people of color in a letter to her daughter in August of 1793. She wrote that a massacre of the “white” population of Saint-Domingue was generally unavoidable unless, “we succeed in creating another way of doing things which will entail the destruction or the deportation of all free men and women of color, after having marked them on both cheeks with the letter ‘L’ for Libre, so that they will never be tempted to come back to Saint-Domingue.” These deportations, according to de Rouvray, should be of long durĂ©e and have longitudinal familial consequences. Those who were born subsequently, she insisted, would at the age of seven years old be branded and deported. “If we held firm to this rule,” the Marquise wrote, “we would be able to rebuild our properties in Saint-Domingue.” Deportation combined with sterilization was for the Marquise the final solution: “One other measure may perhaps be more final than the one that I just described, which would be to render male and female children of color unable to reproduce 
 the men would be too weak to try anything against the whites and the women would no longer serve the latter. In the end, my dear girl, if we do not crush this caste, there will be no salvation for Saint-Domingue.”75 In 1792, the colonist Barillon also argued that every “mulatto” should be “crushed” using the bayonet. But to effect this “extermination” without having to literally kill each and every person of color, he proposed a potential alternative method of eliminating them: “their deportation to the island of Ascension

If someone doesn’t ask Karoline Leavitt why she posted on social media that this bill includes no taxes on Social Security when she knows it is a lie and she intentionally lied to the American people, everyone in the room should lose their jobs.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Mike Johnson just said if you are for reducing the deficit, this bill is for you. The bill adds 3-4 trillion dollars to the deficit. They just lie.

The bill also repeals Obamacare! People need to start talking about this. Anyone with a pre-existing condition or wants preventative care needs to pay attention.

There’s something deeply wrong with a society that watches people get snatched by masked men in unmarked cars & looks the other way. Rep @kamlager-dove.house.gov, describes an alarming system of relocating detainees, making it nearly impossible for their families to find them or get legal counsel.

Josh Hawley acted like he was going to fight the Medicaid cuts that will hurt many thousands in his state - most his voters in rural areas. Then he ran away.

In today’s episode of What Are They Thinking: “If you don’t see a hurricane coming
 does it really exist?” 🚹 The Dept of Defense is shutting down its weather satellite program. No more data. No more updates. Meteorologists are scrambling—and we’re heading into peak storm season. Brilliant timing.
