Whenever you hear conservative politicians preach from the gospel of "fiscal responsibility," remember that one of the biggest drivers of deficits lately are the Bush and Trump tax cuts, which have added nearly $10 trillion to the national debt.

They’re cutting off medical research that will save babies’ lives. They say it’s because of antisemitism. Bullshit It has nothing to do with antisemitism. Using antisemitism as a pretext to attack science makes Jews less safe. But given how antisemitic this regime is, they don’t give a damn.

RESULT: Omaha's Republican Mayor Jean Stothert just lost to her Democratic challenger John Ewing. Stothert, who was running for a fourth term, resorted to anti-trans ads and messaging around who uses bathrooms in the final stretch of the campaign. Ewing will be Omaha's first Black mayor.

If you call the viewpoint "don't murder children" as antisemitic you are saying all Jewish people are in favor of murdering children, which is actual antisemitism

Listen to this segment. They entrapped Mayor Baraka and someone explicitly told ICE to arrest him, an American citizen standing on public ground, in front of sitting members of Congress who tried to stop it. This was already very bad and is now holy shit bad.

When they are arresting sitting mayors for legal protests of ilkigal kidnapping by the government you are well past the point where strongly worded letters or statements are going to do anything to stop this and you are going to have to put yourself on the line in the same way that that mayor did.

Everyone should notice that they are VERY deliberately deporting precisely the people who are attempting to work legally within the system. The whole line about how "I'm just against illegal immigration" is bullshit. It always was.

Just a reminder that Trump/DOJ continuing to let Abrego Garcia sit in CECOT is a crime. Deprivation of rights under color of law is a crime. Was it an "error" at first? Maybe. But once they were aware of the error, and ordered by a judge to return him, and then refusing, it's willful 1/

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

If Trump comes after you, and you have some resources—think law firms and universities, not foreign students disappeared for speech—then you have a moral and patriotic obligation to fight back. If nothing else, it ties up the regime’s resources. They don’t have that much. They need capitulators.

This is why no media source should accept the framing that the deportations are really about antisemitism. Trump is using Jews as a pretext for a crackdown on foreigners and political enemies which he wanted to carry out since long before October 7, 2023. Accepting his framing harms Jews and others.

Exiling people beyond the protection of US law without due process is not only unconstitutional, it's a rejection of the entire American revolutionary project. Sending people "beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences" is one of the grievances enumerated in the Declaration of Independence.

This White House is a threat to our most basic rights. This is unacceptable. Mahmoud Khalil should be home with his wife awaiting the birth of their son, not criminalized for free speech and threatened with deportation. Our destinies are tied. We need to raise our voices now.

The Smart People said "Abolish ICE" was too radical. Then ICE kidnapped students, sent innocent people to a mega prison, broke into a car to take a mom from her daughter, and tried questioning elementary kids while lying that they had parents permission. Ask yourself: which part is more "radical"?

One of the sources of rot running through our political, intellectual, and media institutions is the total triumph of the idea that democracy means outsourcing your morality and point of view to a fuzzily incoherent view of what's popular. Total rejection of the idea of morality as personal virtue.
