Marco Rubio says that Americans living in Europe shouldn't ever have to face any ramifications for their political speech online. The chutzpah is jaw-dropping, as he is PERSONALLY trying to deport legal immigrants for their political speech in the United States.

Only critics say that? Wtf is everyone else saying??

People's right to "disagree with the government of Benjamin Netanyahu" ceases at the boundary of "targeting a completely uninvolved Jewish CRITIC of Benjamin Netanyahu, and his family, for arson and murder."

the UK press runs an average of three stories - almost universally negative - about trans people *a day*

the thing about wurman's claim that there was "an entire literature" is that it was, at best, a gross misstatement and, quite likely, a lie. and just because he is willing to fight on that lie doesn't mean anyone should entertain his project as anything more than what it is

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

the purpose of this regime is to punish the innocent and provide facially insincere arguments about their guilt. the reason they are doing this is to intimidate members of the class of innocents whom they are consigning to death.

Also, even if you are poll centered, the goal should be to get a couple months *ahead* of the polls. The spouse of an American citizen getting tortured or killed in a Salvadoran prison is going to shift some opinions and it’s a matter of when not if that happens

I just want to note that most if not all of these groups are explicitly Zionist identified so no, the deportations are not at the behest of Zionists broadly jewishpublicaffairs.org/press-releas...

Specifically complaining about automatic traffic enforcement as Woke Gone Wild is really giving the game away. Discriminatory enforcement of traffic rules is one of the most well studied manifestations of institutional racism in America, and is well publicized in pop culture!

this yglesias post is insane, the whole thing is him trying to square the fact that he quite obviously believes in hanania-style scientific racism and thinks trump isn't racist-racist with the need to not agree with nazis

I still think this is honestly the wrong tack to take, because people shouldn't be litigating whether anyone targeted Was or Was Not Antisemitic - the reality is inevitably going to be that some of them were & some weren't, but it does not *matter* bc antisemitism isn't a deportable offense!

'A term of high praise on the dissident right is “based,” short for “based in reality.”' That's not where that term comes from. 'The writer Richard Hanania once said...' Love to see this level of normalization of open racists, where it's not even mentioned.

Politics and the English Language keeps on winning

Note to fellow journos: If only one "economist" agrees w Trump tariffs—as evidenced by fact that this particular "economist" is now being interviewed and cited everywhere as only "expert" willing to publicly defend them—consider confirming that he's actually an "economist." Check CVs, for example.

the key thing for arendt to distinguish concentration camps under authoritarianism from “the camps” under totalitarianism is the idea that the latter exist in a lawless zone, beyond normal means of oversight or even visibility. it’s the idea that once you go there youre disappeared; you don’t exist

It is time to allow Syria to recover. States must reassess their approach and reconsider punitive sanctions that only obstruct access to fundamental rights, hinder Syria’s reconstruction, and prevent crucial transitional justice efforts. aljumhuriya.net/en/2025/04/1...

this is also why the stupid culture war bullshit you see from some people with a humanities background about THOSE FASCIST STEM BROS!!! is insanely stupid, the majority of people with college/post grad training in STEM are just normie libs
