Quote:Kavanaugh’s depiction of an immigration check shows “a fundamental misunderstanding about verification of citizenship,” John Sandweg, an attorney who served as the top official at ICE during part of Barack Obama’s first term, told me.
“There is no national database or birth registry,” Sandweg said. “There is no place for ICE to quickly check and do facial recognition. An officer’s not going to just take someone’s word for it if they have reasons to believe they’re in the country unlawfully.”
It can take days or weeks for ICE or someone’s attorney to track down their birth records, Sandweg added. “The idea that it’s going to be done in a Home Depot parking lot is ludicrous.”

The right wing is having a Reichstag fire moment:
The Neo-Nazis & White Supremacists are convening in Huntington Beach CA in the wake of the Kirk killing.
And local GOP officials, Trump's DOJ Civil Rights Division (including Harmeet Dhillon and HB's Michael Gates), Trump, JD Vance, MAGA Mike Johnson and John Thune are doing nothing to calm it down.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Hold on, these are the "we don't have to bake your gay wedding cake" people?
Quote:Attorney General Pam Bondi said the Department of Justice is considering bringing charges after a now-fired Office Depot employee refused to print flyers advertising a vigil for Charlie Kirk.
“We’re looking at that,” she said on Fox News on Monday night.

Unless it's the right kind of free speech. Some animals are more equal than others.

Stephen Miller performs the Two Minutes Hate
"The organized doxxing campaigns, the organized riots, the organized street violence, the organized campaigns of dehumanization, vilification, posting people’s addresses, combining that with messaging that’s designed to trigger, incite violence in the actual organized cells that carry out and facilitate the violence. It is a vast domestic terror movement.
We are going to use every resource we have at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security and throughout this government to identify, disrupt, dismantle and destroy these networks and make America safe again for the American people. It will happen, and we will do it in Charlie’s name."

Of course he could just be describing what the administration's aim is.

Well, it is. To quote man who surely knew all about this (Joseph Stalin): Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas?
Free speech is nothing more than nonsensical fiction as it don't exist anywhere in the world (exactly like a free market which too is always regulated and exists in the first place thanks to state that enforce the rules). It's regulated everywhere and yet this dumb phrase gained aura of holiness and sanctity allowing all manner of abhorrent crap to be spread under the guise of "freedom". Fascism suddenly starts looking noble, denying genocide is just having questions... All rights are regulated and speech should be no exception - fascists were allowed to speak freely once and result should be clear enough to not allow for encore.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
