David Woodruff @dmwoodruff.bsky.social A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they're going to arrest all camels. Q: But you're foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don't you try proving to the NKVD that you're not a camel. Quoting: ® Timothy Snyder @timothysnyder.bsky.so....3d If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

When old Soviet Union jokes are applicable to the US, you know something has gone terribly wrong.
