Instead of trying to describe myself, I'll let the platform tell the story as I go.

Currently residing in the region formerly known as America Mexicana.

Kavanaugh's footnote still has a large loophole in that he specifically limited his guidance to interior immigration stops. Those are interactions that are more than 100 miles from a boarder or coastline. That still leaves many densely populated areas at risk with regard to what would normally be an illegal stop; nearly two thirds of the population according to the ACLU.

Whoa! Slate reported on a footnote from Kavanaugh's concurrence in Trump v. Illinois:

"The Fourth Amendment requires that immigration stops must be based on
reasonable suspicion of illegal presence, stops must be brief, arrests must be based on probable cause, and officers must not employ excessive force.
Moreover, the officers must not make interior immigration stops or
arrests based on race or ethnicity."

It's going to take more than a footnote to salvage any kind of respectable legacy.

Ce prodigieux dessin de Bill Bramhall publié en 2021 dans le Daily News reste malheureusement d'actualité.

Hey so we’re very close to hitting our Kickstarter goal! As of now, Friday morning, March 7, we’re at $54,211 of $60,000. Help us get the rest of the way there! Then we can tell you about where the real action is in this administration! (Hint: it’s not in Congress)

“Blue” states are dotted with “red” & “red” states are speckled with “blue.”

Can we please stop framing federal cuts in terms of whether blue or red states will suffer most?

Dismantling education, science & more will hurt all Americans. #uspol

Today the Trump Administration terminated the federal government's only advisory committee on open government. GovTrack's founder was a member of the committee.

Trump kills nation’s first Open Government Federal Advisory Committee, firing me along with it

The Open Government Federal Advisory Committee (OG FAC) is dead. But the work to create a more open and accountable government goes on, as it always does, no matter who is alive in the White House…
