A dual U.S.-Saudi citizen is facing a long prison sentence and an even longer travel ban for "extremist ideology" over his cartoon comedy on Netflix and old social media posts. It's not the first time, and likely not the last, that Saudi Arabia has targeted U.S. citizens for their speech.

ICMYI I wrote about the importance of being a citizen archivist. We've seen so much incredible art and writing from marginalized people, and we need to preserve it in the face of a huge, well-funded backlash.
This is something concrete you personally can do!

History will recall that the New York Times, that bastion of "the liberal media," on July 4, 2024 chose to give prime space on their op-ed page to a theocratic absolutist who argued that people shouldn't vote, even though he himself has voted in the last 2 elections (but nowhere is that mentioned).

Trump’s re-election will mean four hideous years of the GOP playing constant Civil War Chicken at best - as this Heritage Foundation ghoul made clear - and actual civil war at worst. Avoiding that bloody nightmare is a pretty damn good reason to suck it up and vote for Biden.

I think that’s enough analysis on the differences. TL; DR if America becomes a dictatorship you lose many of your rights until America’s republic is restored. Leaving the country will not give you the freedom you desire, unless you willing to give some of what you already have up. (11/11)

Double jeopardy is very strong in the US (attaches as soon as jury is swore in, acquittals are not appeal-able, and collateral estoppel on the same counts). The only exception unique to the United States is the "dual sovereign" but that has other advantages. (9/11)

Going back to differences in rights (once your a citizen of whatever country). Defamation law is heavily restricted in the USA unlike other countries where it can be criminal, burden of proof is either shared or on the defendant, and a few countries make telling the truth illegal if embarrassing. 5

English may stop being the de facto language of the United Nations and international law might even disappear. That would endanger the rest of the world into falling into Russian/Chinese/American authoritarianism. (4/11)

Most of Europe and the Common Wealth (except the U.K.) are going in the direction of anti-immigration. And the U.K. is much more anti-immigration than the USA and while Labour won’t make them worse, they don’t seem to have the appetite to make it better (American Perspective). 2

This is predictable but so important: Pasteurizing milk kills the H5N1 bird flu virus that is circulating widely in dairy cattle. It's easy to take a 150-year-old technique that has saved countless lives for granted, but don't fool around with unpasteurized dairy products. 🧪

I hadn't thought of it this way, but the Constitution explicitly stating that impeachment does not raise a double jeopardy issue for subsequent prosecution of the same conduct would seem to be another thing undermining arguments in favor of absolute executive immunity.

No, but technology has helped authoritarianism more than libertarianism unfortunately. In some ways, the legal doctrine has gotten worse than the 1970s and 1980s but is a big improvement over the 1950s. When Trump comes to power, a true authoritarian regime will form.

There is no constitutional text that says presidents are immune from all criminal law. Nor was it the intent of the authors of the Constitution or any amendments. It is inconsistent with American precedent and tradition. They just made it up.

This is the ball game folks, the authoritarian green light laid out in advance. Congress will not impeach Trump. And SCOTUS now blesses him with extraordinary latitude to do whatever he wants in power. A second administration will not be constrained by Congress, the courts, the bureaucracy or law.
