  3. A quotation from Montesquieu

    It has eternally been observed that any man who has power is led to abuse it; he continues until he finds limits.
     
    [C’est une expérience éternelle, que tout homme qui a du pouvoir est porté à en abuser; il va jusqu’à ce qu’il trouve des limites.]

    Charles-Lewis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu (1689-1755) French political philosopher
    Spirit of Laws [The Spirit of the Laws; De l’esprit des lois], Book 11, ch. 4 (11.4) (1748) [tr. Cohler/Miller/Stone (1989)]

  8. Trump failed again: "Not only had the White House failed to achieve its strategic objective — both the mass removal of immigrants from the #Minneapolis area and the suppression of the administration’s political opponents through force and the fear of force — it had also lost significant ground with the public on its most favorable issue":

  20. This kinda shit isn't surprising to me because I've experienced a lot of racial profiling, illegal as fuck BS from both USA & Canada #BorderControl nazi fuckers. Both readily & regularly use abuses of power. Both target BIPOC people, indiscriminately.

    This was recorded on 2nd hidden audio gear. It highlights how USA border patrol thugs believe they have any/all right to violate constitution & abuse/threaten people, at their will.
