Maddow: Chicagoland sets the example for countering Trump's abuses
Rachel Maddow salutes the bravery and resourcefulness of people of Evanston, Illinois, who have not only activated to help protect their neighbors against the abuses of Donald Trump's ICE agents, but have rallied to collect food to help struggling neighbors as Trump's Republicans try leverage food assistance to force their budget to pass. Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss talks with Rachel Maddow about his community's activism and pushing back against federal agents going too far.

Trump's Pardon Abuses Are a Means to Legalize Corruption https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/political-commentary/trump-pardon-abuses-legalize-corruption-1235477609/

Trump Is Trying to Legalize Corruption by Abusing His Pardon Power
Donald Trump is abusing the Constitution and the president's pardon power to try to legalize corruption, letting a string of loyalists off the hook.

Say what you will about state violence, but •orderly• state violence — an officer with a face and a badge, Miranda rights, an orderly booking, the constitutional phone call, the jail roster, the habeas corpus petition, a trial, a system, a process, maybe once in a blue moon consequences for officers’ most egregious abuses — is infinitely preferable to what ICE is now: a secret police with blanket immunity.

Money is power, and the founders of this country feared that a president would turn into a monarch if he alone could dictate how the government uses the federal Treasury.
President Trump, however, has tried to take Congress’s constitutional power and make it his own.
He has repeatedly ignored laws passed by the House and the Senate to spend money, or not spend it,
based on his whims and agenda.
He has violated the law at least six times,
according to the Governm…

Opinion | Trump’s Spending Abuses Are Out of Control. He Shouldn’t Have That Power in the First Place.

UN investigator delivers Gaza report virtually due to US sanctions
An independent U.N. investigator is taking world nations to task for not standing up to the U.S. over sanctions it imposed on her. The sanctions prompted the expert to give a report to the U.N. by video on Tuesday. Francesca Albanese is an Italian human rights lawyer assigned to explore human rights abuses in the Palestinian territories. She told the U.N.

Sonnet 121 - CXXI
'Tis better to be vile than vile esteemed,
When not to be receives reproach of being;
And the just pleasure lost, which is so deemed
Not by our feeling, but by others' seeing:
For why should others' false adulterate eyes
Give salutation to my sportive blood?
Or on my frailties why are frailer spies,
Which in their wills count bad what I think good?
No, I am that I am, and they that level
At my abuses re…

I've always been a critic of "Stoicism for the military" events and talks. I think the military often abuses a philosophy whose core aspects include cosmopolitanism and that pushes people to do the right thing, especially against power.
But I am ready to be proved wrong by all the guys filling Ryan Holiday's rooms, standing up for "justice" against bombing fishermen in the Caribbean.

US axes website for reporting human rights abuses by US-armed foreign forces

Imagine if the dumbest person in the world and humanity’s biggest asshole were the same person,
and that guy was president.
It’s a pretty simple lens through which to both view Trump’s lawless, Constitution-shredding rampage of revenge and self-enrichment
while never succumbing to the idea that what’s happening to the country is somehow within bounds.
It is only from this standpoint that one can write the straight story about this administration.

The federal watchdog system at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
that oversees complaints about civil rights violations, including in immigration detention,
has been gutted so thoroughly that it could be laying the groundwork for the Trump administration to
“abuse people with impunity”, experts warn.
Former federal oversight officials have sounded the alarm at the rapid dismantling of guardrails against human rights failures
