It is too late to address the Bush-era atrocities, but it is not too late to address Trump’s. He won’t do it, but we should insist that the next #administration does. Meanwhile, #state & #international #prosecutors should start now."

  11. I was listening to a podcast about this last night; that the Iraq War, started without the UN Security Council's approval, was the start of our current cycle of aggressive wars. The Iraq War broke the international legal regime; it started 20 years ago.

  16. A woman donates $1 million to Trump’s MAGA Inc.

    Weeks later, her son — convicted of federal tax crimes and ordered to repay more than $4 million — receives a presidential pardon from Donald Trump.

    Even more striking: the pardon request itself reportedly highlighted the family’s political donations.

    This is not necessarily corruption in the criminal sense.
    But it perfectly illustrates the growing perception of a “pay for access” system surrounding Trump’s political world — where money, influence and presidential power appear increasingly intertwined.

  17. USCIS Makes Major Change Compelling Aliens To Return Home For Proper Processing Of The Adjustment Of Statuses

    The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) formally announced a major change that will compel aliens seeking the adjustment of status to return to their respective countries and go through the consular processing via the Department of State. The change marks the USCIS’ return to the law’s original intent to ensure that aliens navigate America’s immigration system properly.

    To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the USCIS’ official announcement. Some parts in boldface…

    U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services today announced a new policy memo reiterating the fact that, consistent with long-standing immigration law and immigration court decisions, aliens seeking adjustment of status must do so through consular processing via the Department of State outside of the country.

    Officers are directed to consider all relevant factors and information on a case-by-case basis when determining whether an alien warrants this extraordinary form of relief.

    “We’re returning to the original intent of the law to ensure aliens navigate our nation’s immigration system properly. From now on, an alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply, except in extraordinary circumstances. This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes. When aliens apply from their home country, it reduces the need to find and remove those who decide to slip into the shadows and remain in the U.S. illegally after being denied residency,” said USCIS Spokesman Zach Kahler.

    Nonimmigrants, like students, temporary workers, or people on tourist visas, come to the U.S. for a short time and for a specific purpose. Our system is designed for them to leave when their visit is over. Their visit should not function as the first step in the Green Card process. Following the law allows the majority of these cases to be handled by the State Department at U.S. consular offices abroad and frees up limited USCIS resources to focus on processing other cases that fall under its purview, including visas for victims of violent crime and human trafficking, naturalization applications, and other priorities. The law was written this way for a reason, and despite the fact that it has been ignored for years, following it will help make our system fairer and more efficient.

    Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? If you are an American citizen, do you agree with the USCIS’ change of policy and processes with regards to aliens who are already present in the United States while seeking to adjust their respective statuses? Do you think this latest change will somehow bring down the number of illegal immigrants/aliens present in America? Do you think it makes sense for aliens in America to go back home to their respective countries to apply for change of status at the U.S. consular?

  18. Almost nothing about our daily life feels like a constitutional question.

    Until it does.

    Until a decision affects us and there’s no clear reason. No clear responsibility. No clear place to push back.

    That’s usually the moment we realise something shifted.

    Rights are still there. But the way power operates around them has changed.

  19. King John did not sign the Magna Carta because he believed in human rights.
    He signed it because he was cornered.

    And yet, that reluctant signature helped plant one of the most radical ideas in political history:

    Power must obey rules.

    Eight centuries later, we still live inside that argument.

  25. "The broader point is this: offshore finance allows elites to insulate themselves from the risks of weak governance without having to fix it themselves. Rather than push for judicial reform, more transparent institutions, or limits on executive power, they can arbitrage the rule of law. They don’t need better laws at home if they can choose better ones abroad.

    Because not everyone gets to play the offshore shell game, we then have a bifurcated legal system between economic elites and everyone else. And that doesn’t just suck normatively. It’s empirically damaging. Rule of law is one of the strongest correlates with economic growth.

    These potentially debilitating political effects of offshore finance are the main reason I decided to spend the last 10 years studying how oligarchs resolve their legal troubles abroad. But I’m certainly not the only one to think this matters. mentions this potential de-democratizing effect in his monumental book on global inequality, while Katharina Pistor postulates an analogous logic in her legal scholarship. Sharafutdinova and Dawisha focus on Russian use of the London legal system to draw out these conclusions.

    As often happens with emerging ideas, several of us were running down the same track from different academic angles. None of us can be sure we’re right. It is very hard to assess the effects of the rise of tax havens on something as broad as liberal political development. But the clearest test I’ve seen comes from Maxim Ananyev. He shows that more offshore wealth correlates with future weakening of democracy levels."

  26. Don't feel like a man or woman? Feel like... just a person?
    Questioning and just want some space? Or do you feel distinctly ungenderable today?

    Support Ryan in their legal case for the UK Government to stop assigning genders to people who aren't into it! Let us correct the gd paperwork already.

    Yes, I'm kink-shaming policy right now! Treat people like people, gdi.
    It's nice to just exist as an individual person.

    I'll wander around, do daily tasks, or fill forms that affirm my right to live life -- wildly enough! -- left tf alone.
    I don't think a train company really gives a crap if I wear a dress or a cravat.
    Just... having a grand old time, existing in a way that is apparently queer: 'as an human'. That's it.

    I don't think marketing teams shit themselves over an 'X', 'I', or 'U' outside the two letters you were told to assume were possible.
    Oh yeah, and intersex people exist too. Some are cis.

  27. Joe Biden & his extraordinarily active team have initiated their leading support for ***40,000 infrastructure projects***!

    Remember, they did this within less than 3 years!

    While other former presidential seatholders may have merely achieved close to 20,000 bribe transfers, spitting out thousands of lies, freeing thousands of Taliban terrorists & countless domestic terrorists & criminals for dollars within about the same timeframe.

    P.S.: We need to talk more about how much Joe Biden is giving to us instead of taking only!
    It's time to be grateful for a compassionate American President caring for & benefitting everyone!

    Thank you President Biden for being there & helping, where you're needed!

    P.S. #2: Within 3 years of a 4-year term Donald Trump actually managed to not loaf around on one of his (?) golf courses wasting taxpayers' hard-earned dollars by the millions

  28. Should today's "Republicans" be anyhow interested in recovering a remainder of lost legitimacy based on the values & norms of the Republican Party co-founded by Abraham Lincoln, they better cut all compromising ties to a lifelong career criminal & fraudster running for White House while being charged with another 91 counts before courts in the U.S.!

  29. @wendinoakland We may remember, that Trump is a defendant in four lawsuits so far, charged with 91 counts so far.
    He is the incorporation of what the Founders understood by unacceptable extreme misdemeanor, unworthy to hold any government or other public office & disqualifyingly refusing to take care, that the laws be faithfully executed.

  30. @marcelias The maps are in fact pursuing racist advantage.

    Which means: The racist rebels, disguised as "Republicans", formally ratified the Reconstruction Amendments to regain U.S. congressional representation, but don't accept any loyalty to the Constitution & the Union.
