The Trump administration is "actively looking at suspending habeas corpus," according to Stephen Miller.
The most important thing to understand is, if an immigrant can be snatched off the street without legal process, so can you. Because the same protection being stripped from him is also being stripped from you. Because nobody can be certain who is being bundled into that van by the masked federal police force. Because there will no longer be law to answer to. Immigrants — illegal, legal, that's just a fig leaf, for now — are the start, the test, the toe tipped into the waters of unchecked fascism. If we can't stop it now, we won't be able to stop it later.
That's all I have to say. Enjoy the day.

We are not only screwed, but screwed, blewed, and tattooed.
