As DOJ argues that federal courts have no authority to order "any particular acts of diplomacy," I want to remind everyone that SCOTUS let Matthew Kacsmaryk seize control of Biden's border policy for 10 months and micromanage diplomatic negotiations with Mexican officials. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Student papers should refuse all takedown requests. Rewriting history moves us closer to authoritarianism than keeping them up.

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens. The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

Always good on Appomattox day to remember that Robert E. Lee was a vile human being whose historical portayal as a reluctant defender of slavery is based on complete fabrication. He was a committed white supremacist who believed slavery reflected a natural order and commanded his army as such.

Seriously preparing for the collapse of civilization? Learning first aid to treat gunshot wounds will be more valuable than learning to squeeze off rounds. By far. Also, be healthy and physically fit. Not sexy prep. But the most valuable. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/u...

I happen to know that some powerful media orgs were unhappy that AP filed suit; they thought the conflict with the White House would blow over on its own and that AP risked making bad law. The AP's leadership deserves a lot of credit for having proceeded as it did. apnews.com/article/trum...

It’s remarkable to get this much real estate to admit you’ve been wrong about your main beat for 40 years. Perhaps a series of leaps from tuffet to tuffet of cliched historical moments isn’t the best way to understand human affairs after all. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

IMPORTANT: Sotomayor, in the dissent, emphasizes that all 9 justices believe that the Trump administration cannot do what it wants to do: shove people onto a plane with NO due process. They openly told the DC Circuit they were going to do that if they won. On that issue, they lost.

Two crown tattoos were the only evidence the government presented in Andry’s asylum case before he was sent to a Salvadoran prison. Immigration authorities suspected the tattoo was gang-related, but his lawyer says his parents’ names are below the crowns, and they honor his mom and dad.

The only relevant question is why the groups existed at all, not who was added when or why. The only believable answer is to avoid records laws.

Radley is right. And as a lifelong Southern Baptist I cannot help but wonder: will any evangelical preachers stand in a pulpit tomorrow and bring a message that causes the congregation to consider this man and his family as neighbors to be loved as Jesus loved? Precious few. If any.
