"Trump tells the Navy to view half the country as the enemy. Donald Trump is determined to turn the military against the American people."

"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.

The admin deported people it designated as Tren de Aragua members to a notorious prison in #ElSalvador where, it argued, #US #courts could not order them freed.

In a deal announced in July, more than 250 of the deported immigrants returned to #Venezuela.

The #AlienEnemiesAct was only used 3 times before in US history, all during declared #wars — in the War of 1812 & the two World Wars.

What One Man’s 45-Year-Old Case Tells Us About the “Jim Crow Juries” Haunting Louisiana
---

Today, a split verdict would mean a mistrial. But in 1980s Louisiana, when nonunanimous juries were still legal, 19-year-old Lloyd Gray, a Black man, was sentenced to prison for life — even though the only two Black jurors had voted not guilty.

"This isn’t justice. It’s a monarchy cloaked in law, where the courts no longer check power but serve as executioners for Trump’s political vengeance — and we’re all witnesses expected to cheer."

We’ve documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before #Trump took office.

#ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.”

You can judge for yourself.

"And our #Constitution was very clear in saying…there's one branch that has the #power to tariff & it isn't the president & it isn't the #courts. It's the #Congress of the #UnitedStates," Katyal said.

The case, known as V.O.S. Selections v. Trump, centers on whether #Trump exceeded his #authority by invoking an emergency-powers #law to impose a slew of far-reaching tariff policies.
