What You May Have Missed
A roundup of the past seven days from the Hartmann Report
America’s Fourth Amendment Is on Life Support — What Do You Do When Your Government Becomes the Criminal?
Remember the old TV crime/drama shows? A cop would bang on a suspect’s door and the suspect would say, through the door, “Do you have a warrant?” The officer would then walk away, promising to come back later with the requisite paper signed by a judge.
Is ICE Today’s Klan?
Masked, armed law enforcement agents who regularly violate the law and strip people of their constitutional rights is nothing new in America. They have, in fact, a long and well-documented history, including states — after years of abuse by masked men — passing laws specifically to prevent them from concealing their identities when performing law enforc…
"One Battle After Another" Is What Happens When Art Refuses to Kneel
This week has felt like one battle after another. We all watched video after video of ICE agents dropping from helicopters onto a Chicago apartment, kicking in doors and terrorizing Black and Hispanic American and immigrant families, then trashing and stealing their possessions without ever presenting a warrant signed by a judge.
We’re All Socialists — But Only Trump Acts Like a Communist
Trump and Miller say they’re coming for the “communists” in America, and they need the military on the streets of our cities to do it. Here’s what they’ve said recently on the topic:
Plenary Power: The Final Step in Trump’s American Autocracy
The endgame for Trump, Vance, Noem, and Bondi is coming into clearer focus, and it’s nearly a one-for-one, step-by-step implementation of Nazi jurist/philosopher Carl Schmitt’s ideas that created and sustained the early Third Reich. Vance has even gone so far as to directly quote Schmitt.

Thanks for posting these articles from Thom's program, and here's hoping you have a good week ahead 🤓 and will reStack ASAP 💯👍
Thom and I both are in Portland. He's about a 21 minute drive from ICE HQ and me 16 minutes. I still haven't been arrested, nor has he.
