It’s not just incorrect, but the opposite—the antithesis—of habeas corpus for the president to have the unfettered, unreviewable “right” to cast people into exile in the torture chambers of foreign autocrats.

Y’all may want to check to see if you are following Jake Tapper @jaketapper.bsky.social here on Bluesky and if you are then unfollow him. He has 291,000 too many followers. Then pass it on.

yes. this.

For the life of her, Chloe could not figure out how what had seemed like such a good plan, had gone so terribly, terribly wrong.

"the money is too good to pass up"

Narcissist blames the victims, part the billionth.

Republicans want to: - Cut $715 billion from Medicaid and - Take away health coverage from 8 million Americans, - To pay for billionaire tax cuts that will cost $5 trillion.

NEW: It does matter. Defending the rule of law in the Trump era is essential. Trump cannot ignore constitutional limits on his power — or any court order enforcing those limits. We must keep saying so. Tonight at Law Dork, I make my case:

The regime is arresting judges and mayors, snatching people off the street, threatening to suspend habeas corpus. Is it getting worse quickly, as they escalate their assault? Or are they lashing out in frustration, as they keep losing in the courts and struggling to consolidate? The answer is: Yes.

Great idea from @cherijacobus.bsky.social.

He also “left a life of luxury” to launch a fraudulent “university” so I think maybe it’s fair to be a little skeptical that he isn’t doing a little (or a lot) of skimming.

we live in a country where it's legit good news that the woman who's been in a gestapo prison for six weeks for writing an op-ed is being released on bail

We've almost made it to another weekend, brought to you by left-wing rage. (Credit: @classwar.memes on IG)

Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people. Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

This is wild. Fox News is telling viewers the polls showing Trump tanking can't be right because he's a world-historical success. But even some callers to right wing media are saying the tariffs are a huge problem for them. Exchange w @mattgertz.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/1948...

Please read this.

In poll after poll you see these same kind of numbers, and for whatever reason, the takeaway is that YOUNG men have a fascism problem when clearly OLDER men are more likely to be fascist according to every poll

Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?

To all those who said boycotting Target was a waste of time. It wasn't. Keep it up, y'all!

American needs more white conservative children. That’s why we are closing hospitals in predominantly white conservative parts of the country and having HHS give dangerous medical advice that only white conservatives are stupid enough to believe.

"Brutal" is dying of sepsis while a dead fetus rots inside of you and the doctors who can save you stand there and do nothing. "Brutal" is a child being gang raped by her classmates. "Brutal" is a trans woman incarcerated in a men's prison. "Brutal" is arrest & removal to a foreign slavery camp.

BREAKING: this is the big one! We @sddaction.bsky.social are proud to be part of a coalition of labor orgs, non-profits, & cities & counties suing to challenge the Trump admin’s reorganization of the entire federal gov. It's against the law! statedemocracydefenders.org/fund/massive...

To everyone shouting “no one is above the law” referring to that Milwaukee judge: We have a criminal in the White House. A guy who’s proven to be utterly lawless. And you’re perfectly fine with that. So take your “no one is above the law” bullshit and shove it up your ass.

Popular narrative proposes that the only way to defeat Nazis is by not confronting them or even naming them until the exact right perfect strategic future moment, a moment that is never defined or sought. It's an unwatchful anticipation designed to forestall the slightest meaningful action.

One other thing since I’m on a roll this morning: we still have rights in this country, even if Trump and his friends say we don’t. Do not capitulate. The courts are doing their part to stand up for the Constitution, including even Trump appointed judges. Do not listen to anyone who says

The Trump administration is literally kidnapping and torturing people.

Again. They deported an American child with cancer AGAIN.

ACLU says another three US citizen children were disappeared from their own country today: www.aclu.org/press-releas...

If he can say this, nobody else has any excuse.

A New Mexico judge and his wife have also been arrested, for allegedly hiding a TdA gang member in their home. Given recent history, it’s probably best to take the “hiding” and “gang member” allegations with a fistful of salt. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

“What that means is that, de facto, every Spanish speaking traffic stop becomes an immigration stop.”

NEW — I wrote about Beker Rengifo, a Montana resident from Venezuela who was taken by ICE on Thursday after a routine traffic stop, and how local law enforcement is working with the feds to ensnare people with legal status.

I have gotten confirmation from sources inside the Coast Guard that this is in fact true and happened in Key West. ICE went into military housing and took the spouse of a USCG member who is currently out to sea.
