They haven’t charged the judge with harboring. As bad as this is, Miller’s adding misinformation to it in the hope of creating more panic.

Fascinated by the 1% who think Trump is "scary" but they approve. They just love being terrified by their President. I'm picturing them sitting under swords of Damocles, eating expired dairy snacks, hiding sharp objects in their own clothes drawers just to feel something.

It seems Neil Gorsuch's subconscious briefly took over the oral argument this week. “'Bondage' and 'sex worker,' though, are not on the list [of things to look for in "Pride Puppy"], despite Gorsuch’s protestations to the contrary. Neither is, uh, 'clamps.'" ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/pride...

BREAKING: In a sudden about-face, a DOJ attorney saiys ICE will be RESTORING the status of thousands of foreign students whose SEVIS records were terminated w/o notice earlier this month. The move comes amid mounting losses in courts around the country. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

Stories coming from around the country that students are having their SEVIS status randomly restored, just as randomly as it was terminated. Suggests that ICE is either reversing these terminations on a large scale or having actual human beings finally look at cases and make decisions.

NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.

Miller knows he’s lying. The system wasn’t against them—the evidence was. Because they committed crimes on national television.

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t you try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

As a trans person, I’m going to insist that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with “affecting” lots of different looks. Be a different person every day! Be goth one day and midcentury modern the next! It’s a great way to find yourself. And you might be surprised what you find.

Wouldn't it be nice if every news outlet that covered the Bukele Oval Office meeting noted: District court wrote: Abrego Garcia "has never been charged with or convicted of any crime."⤵️ Fourth Circuit: The government presented "NO EVIDENCE" of MS-13 affiliation.

I think of the 'keytar' as an iconic 80's instrument, possibly because of the rise of synthesizers around the same time. Some genius hit on the idea of putting a shoulder strap on a keyboard synthesizer, then added a guitar-like neck. KEYboard + guiTAR = KEYTAR! Let's talk about the history.
