Police can question you and — even if you say nothing — they're allowed to testify about your "demeanor" and "body language" during questioning. Most judges will allow this as a form of expert testimony. That's why STFU is not enough. You need to explicitly say "I invoke my 5th amendment rights"

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

Democrats always introduce this bill precisely when transmisogyny is surging. In 2022, they introduced this when domestic terrorists, including some state legislators, were engaging in genocidal advocacy about trans women.

Trump’s agenda is deeply unpopular. Republican members of Congress, especially in swing states, need to wake up and start speaking out, or risk losing their seats next year.

Anyone debating or analyzing Kilmar Abrego Garcia's life or record is doing a grave disservice. He could be El Chapo. He could be Charles Manson. He could be the Dalai Lama. It doesn't matter. What has happened to him and others is clearly a violation of America's core laws and principles.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

There are 3 types of coding comments: 1. "This might be confusing later. Let me make a note." Exceedingly rare, almost not worth mentioning 2. Ones you write during later bugfix when you find you no longer remember how the hell that function works 3. You figured it out; you won't forget again...

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

I see a lot of people falling into the "this is pointless" trap, and I can only say it so many ways — though I suspect I will have to write something specifically about it on this front — but the bottom line is that we must expect compliance. Anything less is just making noncompliance easier.
