This is what an emergency looks like: The US Supreme Court rules unanimously that Trump’s administration has wrongfully deported an innocent man and must bring him back – and Trump just ignores it. And once again, I find myself reading Timothy Snyder. «This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror. […] Horrible though all of this is, it is still state terror in outline, a test of how Americans will react. We can react by seeing all of this for what it is, and naming it by name: incipient state terror.»
