The Court has agreed to hear a Trump administration appeal involving lawful permanent residents who were detained for months without a chance to ask for release on bond. A lower court ruled that prolonged detention without bond hearings violated due process protections. The administration is now asking the Supreme Court to reverse that ruling.

This is not a technical court dispute for the people inside detention. A bond hearing can be the only chance to ask a judge to look at whether continued detention is justified. Without that hearing, ICE can keep someone locked up while the immigration case moves slowly through the system.

It was time all the way back in January.

It's been time for a long time now, the problem is we need to be able to organize a resistance, and they've disrupted any efforts at organization by the lower classes, pretending it was just about labor unions when really it's about our ability to unify ourselves with any legitimate shared identity or concern. Divide and conquer: we've been divided, and now we're being conquered. Our choices are basically to set aside our differences with our neighbors and unite again as "we the people", or die as economically and politically irrelevant serfs whose disorganized and frustrated attempts at resistance will be carefully, methodically and violently crushed by the boot of fascism as isolated uprisings.
