The Supreme Court's bias toward corporate interests is persistent, pervasive, and exhaustively documented. But it is still extraordinary to hear a sitting justice bluntly call it out and castigate her colleagues for consistently twisting the rules in favor of big business. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Super cool curious research that could be revealing a new branch of microbial life with a minute bacterium that can only replicate and must get all its nutrients from its host as it has no metabolic genes! Other similar bacteria almost certainly exist. #MicroSky 🧪

What were they actually gonna do here? Ask every brown-enough person for their papers to go to the fucking baseball game? This is the most slam-dunk, anti-American thing I can think of. You need a passport to go to a Major League Baseball game now? Malpractice not to make a huge deal out of this.

To be really clear: The reason members of Congress can't just walk right in is because of the guns. Armed DHS personnel won't allow entry. In other words, DHS is using armed force to break laws. Democrats need to wrap their minds around that. Accept that the frog is boiled.

The walls of this cafe in my neighborhood are covered in signs that are ostensibly menu items, but! They advertise a baffling # of options far beyond what this cafe could reasonably sell, and most of them are upside down. Increasingly convinced it’s some Numbers Station/Dead Drop system for spies.

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

We're going to "liberate" a city from itself and then dragging out a senator is about as clear as it gets. It was already really clear but this is crystal clear.

Feels kinda important to point out that if non-citizens are required to carry proof of legal status, then citizens do too by default. This is absolutely insane.
