Former SDNY US Attorney Berman’s opening statement for his closed-door House Judiciary Committee testimony: Barr told him to resign or he’d be fired. Berman told the AG he would not resign. The next day, Barr lied to the American people, saying Berman had decided to step down.

hard not to think about how Trump was acquitted of impeachment charges just a month before all of this started. it was as if the universe was explicitly giving us a chance to get this guy out of here before it was too late.

So ICE, which POTUS has tried to groom as a personal police force and given more expansive mandates, is now TRAINING MILITIAS for the execution of xenophobic LARPing. This is madness and cannot be constitutional.
Wait—isn't this a...MILITIA?!? "ICE is launching a class for private citizens in Chicago on how to arrest undocumented immigrants." The course will train non-agents in firearms and how to make targeted arrests. ICE will take the program national. @hrw

"While some ask what religion has to do with American racism, attending to its conquest and colonization seriously compels us to ask a different question: Is it even possible to decouple religion from American racism?" asks @SikhProf. https://t.co/KLeXMhgcTx

From what I understand Doctors Without Borders is usually deployed in Third World countries. See below for US update
Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is currently recruiting clinicians to serve at nursing homes in Michigan & Arizona. The work will be unpaid and volunteers must have their own health plans, because MSF finds American health insurance unaffordable. You’re doing it wrong, America.
