Jus soli citizenship is one of the few inherently good things about the United States. Giving even a rhetorical inch on in it is a nightmare. It is the great leveler, an inherently democratic mechanism. Everyone born here is the same no matter who their daddy is. Despotically unamerican to end it.

The savvy will scoff, but I am completely serious about this. Congressional Dems should introduce a constitutional amendment to limit the pardon power and force votes on it whenever they can. Dem presidential wannabes should endorse the idea. Blue states should signal support.

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been sitting in a Salvadoran prison for over a month because the Trump Admin made a mistake. Now, the Admin is defying SCOTUS & refusing to bring him back. If we allow Trump to violate Kilmar's rights, none of our rights are safe. Kilmar is all of us.

I am convinced a major factor in the tariff disaster is that Trump has so consistently been met with cowardice and capitulation from every quarter in American politics that he imagined other countries would just as easily fold to bullying.

There are principled conservatives. But Supreme Court justices have been selected specifically to filter those out, and pick only the biggest partisan hacks available. That's what we have. There's a psychological need to see these people as responsible parental figures, but it's all projection.

It seems like when you write a decision giving the President king-like powers, you shouldn't be indignant when he acts like a king.

Pedro Pascal responding to transphobia on social media: “I can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist.” (via @charliejane.bsky.social) [capitalfm.com]
