Nah they are spelling MS-05, which is just another chapter of MS-13, but the lying fake news media cut out the people on the left forming the M. /s

Good on Reuters for sending a drone over there.

Besides the cross-posts there is another discussion in

Well actually “don’t do anything illegal” seems to be the thing giving an easy win to cops and politicians here.

“Oh, they are ignoring the laws and putting people in concentration camps? Just politely tell them they are wrong, that’ll show them!”

And you are free to believe otherwise. But sadly I don’t see legal protests having any effect on a government actively seeking to undermine the rule of law.

Insisting on the confines of legality when the opposing side has shed any pretence of legality months (arguably years) ago is… a stance to take. Just not a winning one.

Charges weren’t dropped. Neither the judge nor the prosecution sought detention, so she is just out until the next hearing happens (May 15th).

From: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/milwaukee-judge-hannah-dugan-charged-with-2-federal-felonies-in-ice-case/ar-AA1DCrnR

On April 25, Dugan appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephen C. Dries during a brief hearing in a packed courtroom at the federal courthouse. Dugan, wearing a black dress with white flowers, made no public comments during the brief hearing.

At the hearing, Dries asked if prosecutors were seeking detention, and they said they were not. He answered that he did not believe that the charges were “eligible” for detention.

As it ended, her attorney, Craig Mastantuono, told the court: “Judge Dugan wholeheartedly regrets and protests her arrest. It was not made in the interest of public safety.”

Dugan made her federal court appearance a little more than two hours after she was arrested at the county courthouse at about 8 a.m. April 25.

it’s that they’re less competent

Not sure if that’s true actually, the Nazis were supremely incompetent as well. It just doesn’t take that much competence to smash a delicate balance like the separation of powers. You basically need control of one the three branches of government and you are good to try, Trump controls two and this news is about him smashing the third.

Well I don’t know about that. Maybe if this current outrage gets enough people to engage in internal party politics the DNC can be reformed? I’m honestly not too knowledgeable about that area of US politics, but my understanding as a layperson was that there isn’t really anything (except for party-internal conflict obviously) preventing registered democrats from trying to reform or even replace the DNC.

But even if that is possible not sure if it would be fast enough. There are probably a host of different internal elections involved to gain the required influence, and the next national midterms elections are probably way beyond Trumps deadline for going completely mask off “I’m your dictator now”-fascist.
