It would be very interesting to convene a group of like 20 normal people and ask them how they think the immigration system should work. Not whether it should be "tougher," but literally, how they think people should be able to apply for residency.

NEW: The Trump admin finalized an emergency regulation, which goes into effect tomorrow, authorizing DHS to impose civil monetary penalties for immigration law violations with far less due process. The rule could lead to DHS imposing exorbitant fines on millions of people — fines they can't afford.

Since Mamdani won the Dem NYC mayor nomination with a free bus proposal, let's talk about free transit. Research suggests that free transit: a—increases ridership b—doesn't get people out of cars c—benefits youth, elderly & low-income ppl d—doesn't add employment e—maybe ups operational efficiency

Mallahan goes after Harrell. Even if Wilson and Mallahan haven't made a Mamdani-Lander alliance, they seem aligned on this: We don't need a billionaire-coddling, hostile-workplace-creating, abuser-defending dude to stay in power. Love to see it! rondezvous.beehiiv.com/p/joe-mallah...

apropos of nothing in particular, did you know that when people "passed away" in Nazi camps due to privation, disease or brutal treatment, history remembers that as acts of murder?

To put it another way: Zohran Mamdani received more than 432,000 votes, which would have won you 10 different states last November.

Still struggling with the idea that the President authorized a country, with which we were engaged in armed conflict, to attack a US base with US soldiers in harm's way ("gunners") and it isn't a bigger story. This goes beyond even impeachment and removal from office.

Each time a remotely progressive candidate wins office in the US, the rich declare they're going to leave town. What do they actually do? Nothing. A 2016 study found only 0.04% of millionaires move in a given year due to tax increases. Rich people talk to feel important. Please properly tax them.

The corporate charter of the Nippon Steel takeover of US Steel gives Donald J. Trump personal power over the company. @mmasnick.bsky.social wonders what to call this, since it ain't nationalization. It's classic fascist authoritarianism.

Um. Going to suggest that making lists of Jews based on the Jewishness of their names sounds WAY WAY WAY more antisemitic than saying "Israel shouldn't be committing war crimes." But what do I know?

John Roberts has finally produced his own Dred Scott decision. He must be so proud of what he has wrought. Historians will indeed remember Roberts. In infamy. I wonder if he hears that in his social life, in his fawning rightwing cocktail party circles.

So I was curious about that racist law school paper that won an award and decided to go read it. Guys, it's BAD. And I don't just mean the morally repugnant conclusion, his reasoning is downright laughable. So I'm going to do what his professor should've done and show exactly how wrong it is. 🧵

Right. Laws should face a long period of public deliberation. Doing laws in secret just hands power to authoritarians.

scientists consistently found that consumption of ice cream led to reduced risk for t2 diabetes and insulin resistance. They didn't want to believe this and buried the data in favor of yogurt when they published. Multiple scientists have tried to disprove the data since & it backfired every time.
