Jamie Dimon says the best case scenario for the US is now a recession. Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months. Gotta be some kind of record.

Sending anyone from this country to a foreign gulag, particularly without a court hearing, should rightfully end a presidency. Full stop.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

Every time I talk in a big city, I have so many folks come up and tell me about their roots in the heartland or rural spaces. Do you know why there are so many folks in the city from red, rural states? A brain drain. They left and never came back.

Our immigration policies should not be wielded as union busting, political cudgels. Or as ways to suppress freedom of speech or assembly.

Can a kid be lost at two? Is warehousing kids cheaper than intervening in their lives? This is ridiculous. Kids get hurt and recruited in adult prisons. Hard stop.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

“…destroy my influence” = tacit acknowledgment he has acquired the government. “…push negative propaganda about me” = they keep pointing out the stuff I say and do. “They are evil” - anyone who opposes an oligarchy is evil.

NEW: @aclu.org obtained ICE's "Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide," confirming all it takes to be sent to rot in prison in El Salvador is being Venezuelan and 1) having a tattoo an ICE officer says is a "gang tattoo" and 2) displaying "logos," "symbols" or clothes an ICE officer says are gang signs.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

If I could speak to the heads of big law firms, I would ask: Is the risk of losing some clients worth betraying your oath to the rule of law? To everyone nodding but refusing to take a stand, I say: You are ignoring Martin Niemöller’s message. It is you that Martin Luther King Jr. was condemning.

Every day on the internet makes it abundantly clear that some people have never had a single person turn around and say to them, ‘Cite your sources’ because, and I say this with every ounce of love I can muster as a teacher: while you are entitled to your opinion, that does not make it fact.

Reminder: after around 900k total casualties, #Russia currently occupies 19% of #Ukraine. It occupied 30% three years ago, when it had less than 100k total casualties. Let’s stop pretending that Russia is in a position of strength. It’s only #Trump that tries to put it in one.

There's a reason why they're freaking out over what's happening to Tesla. It's working. There's a reason they're threatening absurd consequences. They need to scare you back into civility and compliance. As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.

The prison guards in El Salvador must have a reason for hiding their identities: They are up to no good. And the United States is complicit in their abuse.

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at. A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth. HAIRCUTS. This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.
