If what we're after is hard lessons for those who flout the rules, how about we start with personal sanctions for contempt of court?

“I just want to be clear to the Rogans and the Vons, and Andrew Schultzes and all these guys in the manosphere that you kind of got tricked. You did sign up for this, but that's OK. We're here now, and let's now all oppose it together.” - @timmiller.bsky.social

Hard not to believe that the current moment will not completely poison many people's ability to trust the US government for a long time. No-one really believes that the masked men dishing out the kind of violence will ever face any sort of accountability.

A lot of people defending Trump bombing Iran would’ve just as passionately defended him not bombing if he’d called for restraint instead. We'd be hearing he’s the most peace-loving president in history. So many people's principles start & end with loyalty to one man.

Sad that we have to wait for independent third parties to confirm the success of such important strikes, but that’s where we are. No way for us to trust the President’s own characterization of the attack.

Tariffs. Stock market down. Medicaid slashed Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans. National guard and marines deployed in LA. No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine Bombing Iran This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.

What am I worried about? -Safety of 30k US troops in the Middle East -cybersecurity (since CISA was recently gutted) & homeland security (as HLS focused on immigration) -Economic strength (oil prices and tariffs) -Allied assistance (we’ll need that now) -Domestic intell (leadership at FBI/DNI)

Trump posts on social media and speaks to the nation, sounding like someone’s deranged uncle who drank too much eggnog at Christmas, and then the media proceeds to treat him as a serious person who actually has strategies and coherent plans….

ICE arrested Job Garcia while he was running errands in LA. Job is a US citizen, a scholar, and a brilliant photographer. He’s also my friend. But none of that should determine his humanity. ICE must release Job Garcia immediately.

Yes the # of convicted criminals in ICE detention is up - about 1.6x its level in early January. Meanwhile, the number of detained immigrants with zero criminal record is nearly FOURTEEN TIMES higher than it was before Trump. austinkocher.substack.com/p/55654-peop...

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

If they wanted to, they could serve her with a citation that she appear for deportation in something like 14 days. Instead they want to do this in the cruelest way possible.

If a little-known provision in the Big Beautiful Bill becomes law, you might need to be a millionaire — or even a billionaire — to sue the government for violating your rights. You read that right.

Christian churches should be a source of healing, but powerful Christians with millions of followers choose to fuel the fires of hatred instead. Given that reality, it's no surprise that some Christians will put down their Bibles, pick up their guns, and kill the people they're taught to hate:

This is unacceptable — Ukraine cannot wait. Every day, Putin unleashes horror upon the civilian population in Ukraine as part of his barbaric and illegal invasion. The Senate must enact new Russian sanctions NOW!

I wrote about why Juneteenth truly is the most American—and libertarian—holiday. Nothing is more offensive to liberty than slavery—and nothing more pro-liberty than abolishing it. Happy Juneteenth. reason.com/2025/06/19/j...

You don't have to be Black to appreciate #Juneteenth because all Americans' lives benefit from inventions, technological improvements, creative art, and other contributions made by people who probably wouldn't have been able to accomplish what they did if they were still enslaved. /1

It is Juneteenth. In these harrowing times where it feels like the the tide of liberty is waning, it is even more important to celebrate the wins that have come before to remind ourselves that we will make more come. Juneteenth - 160th @ The Buffalo Soldier Museum youtu.be/iGtj0Yl5ZIA

20-year-old U.S. citizen Adrian Andrew Martinez was swarmed by ICE in Pico Rivera while defending someone. He never hit back—just struggled—before being slammed into a CBP van. No records. No lawyer. His mom can’t find him. This is abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

Hey - the genius of American science created life-saving medical treatments, but the geniuses from Tesla and SpaceX fired everyone we need to administer them to patients. But, don’t worry, we’ve authorized hiring some contractors. They’ll be ready by Christmas, if your cancer hasn’t spread too far.
