An incredibly devastating decision which simply ignores the human costs and blesses the Trump admin's stripping of status of hundreds of thousands of people who entered the country legally — which the explicit stated goal of rapidly deporting those people without a court hearing.

JFC: The Supreme Court just gave Trump the green light to end *humanitarian parole* for 500,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela. All of these people will now lose their permits to work in the U.S. and are at risk of imminent deportation. www.huffpost.com/entry/suprem...

The press continues to credulously report that Elon Musk is "leaving" the White House. The first rule of writing about Musk: His words are meaningless. There are 20 years of Musk's broken promises. Be skeptical, folks. www.salon.com/2025/05/30/e...

NEW: Of the 238 men deported to the prison in El Salvador, DHS data shows: • 130 had no U.S. criminal histories aside from immigration violations; • 32 had been convicted of crimes in the U.S.; • 6 of those were violent crimes.

I don't understand why Dems aren't talking about this everywhere.

Judge Xinis has been a terrific defender of the rule of law. Obama appointment.

again all of this stuff is resignation-level for literally everyone involved www.notus.org/health-scien...

Remarkable point from @katherinestewart.bsky.social here: A big part of Trump's lawless assault on Harvard is about fomenting terror and uncertainty about what the autocrat will do next. Here's our exchange on this idea, and a link to the full transcript: newrepublic.com/article/1958...

There is a clear front-runner for the Dem nomination in 2028 and it's not any of the names that are commonly in the mix. He wasn't even one of the 12 listed by WaPo in a January article, but as names like Newsom and Whitmer fall off, JB Pritzker has set the bar.

Counterpoint: They IMMEDIATELY looked like craven fools and gutless cowards. And bootlickers.

"We'd appreciate it very much if you would do us just one small favor....."

Amazing. Right out in the open: "universities are free to do research as long as they're sympathetic to the administration." I want to personally play this clip in the face of every fucking clown who spent the last several years pretending that the left is the "real" threat to free speech.

Oh what the....

Do conservative folks not understand the concept of a 'filter'?

CONCENTRATING them. Into CAMPS.

US administration openly intervened on behalf of the authoritarian populist candidate in the Polish presidential election

It's past time for the Judicial Conference to begin speaking about the threats faced by judges, and offer leadership and support to their members. An independent and co-equal branch deserves no less.

Brilliant
