Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.
I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.
The rule of law can’t survive this
Emmer: Now, they want judicial warrants. The administrative warrant is already the same thing.
Administrative warrants are hall passes written by the bad kids at school
Can’t believe we are still doing this
In fairness, after 17 years of teaching American politics, it’s pretty much all about law and racism.

Rooney Report #7 is out! New NDHDS data show partisan divides over political violence remain stark, 4 in 10 Republicans say force may be needed to defend the “traditional American way of life.” Majorities reject violence, but a worrying minority don’t. Check out the full report!
Thank you to Ryan Enos for his insightful talk, “Are Politics in the United States Nationalizing?” at last week’s Rooney Institute Seminar. We’re grateful for the opportunity to engage with such timely and important research.

FCC Chair Carr’s post from 12/30/23: Free speech is the counterweight—it is the check on government control. That is why censorship is the authoritarian’s dream.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Effective immediately, the government says it will begin screening immigrant social media for activity that officials think indicates support for antisemitism.
You don't get to decide who does and doesn't have elections (and refuse to do so for the other party when it suits you)
This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.
No news organization should ever use the words "third term" without the word "unconstitutional" preceding it
She took an oath to support and defend the Constitution, which includes the 5th and 14th amendments on due process.
Bingo
Not "It could happen here." It IS happening here. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
From the trend so far it seems clear that they’ll try to break the First and Fourth Amendments on a naturalized citizen, then on a US born citizen.
Lando's leadership of Cloud City in The Empire Strikes Back turned out to be a tragically prescient parable for our time. Leaders of institutions: Pay attention! A story in four parts.

I’m reminded of a line from Batman: “You wanna get nuts? Come on! Let’s get nuts!”
Chilling that the DHS official is unwilling to say no
“With date certain deliverables”? Heck, maybe we should make English the national language.
Also, I’d pay $100 to any of these clowns if they could define academic receivership.
If the government can do this to universities, we don't live in a free society. Five alarm fire.
