Federally recognized tribes also have sovereignty as their own nations, which makes this a little bit different than most applications of eminent domain.

Okay, but can reporting on this story PLEASE emphasize that the camp is located on unceded treaty land? Not only are they being ordered to leave, but they’re being ordered to leave land that actually belongs to them.
I bet if enough people tweeted their doubt that he’s trusted with any real intel he’d probably take the bait. He seems that type.
Ok, so someone feel free to jump in here and confirm/correct, but my thinking is he probably won’t last long as his own counsel because I can’t see him confronting witnesses without winding up in contempt.
Put it near Trump Tower, since he isn’t planning on spending much time in the White House anyway.
I think an escape plan is a smart thing to have. We don’t know how bad this is going to get, and laying groundwork now might not be such a bad thing to do if it becomes necessary to get the hell out as fast as you can before the jackboots come marching to your doorstep.
Wrong. Crystal City, the largest of the internment camps, held Japanese, German, Italian, and Latin Americans.
Check the #NoDAPL tag on twitter. Lots of people there + live stream showed what was happening and many predicted - correctly - that police would blame them and MSM would accept w/o question.
If the suit he just settled is any indication, it will be a small, small portion of what he’s going to steal from the nation.
I’ll only be able to use the P word in reference to him if I’m allowed to follow it with “von Clownstick”.

Excellent piece, and thank you for sharing your grandfather’s story. We mustn’t ever forget.
Believe me, I can’t stand the Cruzes, but I really hope that’s not a dig at her previous mental breakdown?
Y’all are too nice redacting the addresses they’re sent from. I’d out them *and* subscribe them to all kinds of email lists they probably wouldn’t want to be on.
Your mention of Upton Sinclair reminded me of another journalist, by the name of Dorothy Thompson, who was married to another famous Sinclair, Sinclair Lewis. She was the first journalist to be kicked out of Germany shortly after the Nazi rise to power. If you read her writings from Germany without realizing what…
Sarkozy? Really? I can’t wait to ask one of my friends about that. She’s in Paris and she loathes him. Not as much as she loathes the entire Le Pen family, but it’s pretty bad.
If there’s one thing I wish Hillary hadn’t done, it was walking back on the deplorables comment. That was the time to double down and call out exactly what it was about them that was so deplorable. Racists are deplorable. Sexists are deplorable. Homophobes are deplorable. You can either be with them (and…
