Snow, where it should be, on a picturesque mountain. This is interesting because these mountains are actually to the south of us, towards San Diego. This range almost never gets snow, but the "atmospheric river" dipped lower than usual and here it is.
Pretty
Vent - do not proceed.
Well, let's start with WTF this week in American News (only items illegal right now).
The administration invoked the Alien Enemies Act this week. It has been used 3 times before.
- James Madison used it against the British in the War of 1812 to kick the loyal British out of the country.
- Woodrow Wilson used it in 1917 against the American supporters of the Axis powers
- Franklin Roosevelt used it in 1942 to imprison Japanese-Americans in concentration camps.
Well, the administration just used it to deport Salvadorans and Venezuelans without due process. As one would expect, it was quickly put on hold by a US Federal Judge.
But, the Administration gave a big "Fuck you" to the rule of law. Despite the order against it, they still flew a bunch of Salvadorans to El Salvador without approval.
As for the rule of law, they laugh about it and say either:
Whoops, we didn't know that.
Or, it is a bad decision and we are going to do it anyway,
Either way, it is the Executive ignoring the Judiciary. So that bodes poorly.
----------------------------------------------
The Administration is trying to deport a US Green Card holder married to a citizen and about to be a father. A green card means they have a legal right to be in this country indefinitely. This person's actions were to lead a legal demonstration for Palestine on the private University of Colombia.
Trump has played wack-a-mole with our allies and trading partners - that is stupid but not illegal.
