“A federal judge⚡️in Minnesota has ordered restrictions on ICE's tactics against protesters who aren't suspected of committing crimes — including stopping cars that aren't obstructing them.”
-K Cheney

This ruling is warranted, and overdue; hopefully conditions will improve in Minneapolis, but it’s Trump’s #DHS & #DOJ, so it’s doubtful they’ll fully comply.

In declaring that the #US will be “running” #Venezuela, #Trump has raised a host of questions: Will the US have an occupying #military force? Will it install a pliant government for some number of years? Will it run the #courts, & determine who pumps the #oil? All of this, of course, could enmesh the US in the kind of “forever wars” Trump’s #MAGA base has rejected.

Trump spoke about bringing in US oil companies to remake the #energy infrastucture &, presumably, to exploit oil reserves.

"In a scathing ruling handed down just minutes ago, Judge John McConnell ordered the Trump administration to immediately deliver full November SNAP benefits to every state, blasting officials for their brazen refusal to obey his earlier mandate."

"McConnell cited a Truth Social post from Donald Trump as direct evidence that the president intended to defy a federal court, condemning the administration’s behavior as 'arbitrary, capricious, and utterly unacceptable.' …

Judge McConnell found that the Trump Administration violated his order by not paying out SNAP benefits."

---

Dissenting from the court's majority, one judge sounded the alarm about ignoring recanted forensic testimony, saying the medical examiner's reversal "calls into doubt the foundation of the trial."

"Trump is attempting to erase the constitutional order itself. U.S. presidents do not have unilateral authority either to go to war abroad or at home against American cities; it is essential to emphasize this point as Trump aims to turn U.S. cities into occupied territories."

"Over the weekend, the Trump administration’s attempt to deploy the National Guard in Oregon blew up into a constitutional clash as serious as any we’ve seen so far this year (including, ironically, the clash over Abrego Garcia’s wrongful deportation)."

"Violence and stochastic terror remain the weapons of choice for MAGA. For the past 10 years, Trump’s supporters have engaged in threats and assaults against the media, judges, law enforcement, teachers, poll workers, and Democrats."

New Banksy!

Titled "Royal Courts Of Justice. London.” this one is on the outside of the Royal Courts of Justice, in London. Naturally.

It shows a protester lying on the ground holding a blood-splattered placard while a judge in a traditional wig and black gown beats him with a gavel.

Hands up anyone who can't see a connection to the foolish proscribing of Palestine Action.

Authorities are not amused. Police are investigating the mural as potential “criminal damage” and it will be destroyed, soon.

Sure it's a listed building. But what the people in power hate the most is the fact that it takes the piss out of the judiciary and criticises the misuse of law to define anyone opposing genocide and supporting Palestine Action as terrorists.
