Wow. Yes. From a California district court:
“At this early stage of the proceedings, the Court must determine whether the President followed the congressionally mandated procedure for his actions. He did not. His actions were illegal—both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith.” https://journa.host/@chrisgeidner/114673375048335011

While the Trump administration planned this move for about a year,

I know as a developer just how hard it is to actually make it work, but perhaps the lesson of the Liquid Glass public reaction fiasco is for Apple to just give users •much• more control over the UI theme.
Between the retina transition, iOS 7, accessibility improvements like variable text size, dark mode support, and the long migration away from hard-coded layouts, we developers have grown used to making more adaptable UIs. Lots of the building blocks for OS-level theming are there, both in SwiftUI and in UIKit.
If Apple said “Themes are coming!” at WWDC 26, developers would adapt.
Assuming we still have a functioning society at that point.

The scary thing about MAGA isn’t that it’s obviously evil—it’s that it’s appealing to people who think they’re good.
It offers them a way to feel righteous about their resentments, patriotic about their prejudices, and principled about their selfishness.

The Trump administration has shifted from bureaucratic threats to armed suppression of political opponents.
By beginning with vulnerable groups who have less legal standing and social capital to resist repression,
the Trump administration is making a strategic choice, hoping to provoke less public outcry
and then use these precedents of repression later against a broader population.
