also hilarious that his unedited solo blog posts are straight up better prose without some schmuck NYT editor making them more pretentious and turgid

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

VP lecturing "the Europeans" again: "...if the Europeans had been a little more independent, and a little more willing to stand up, then maybe we could have saved the entire world from the strategic disaster that was the American-led invasion of Iraq." Yes, pity Paris and Berlin were so pro-war...

Reminders: "Concentration camps" aren't the same as "extermination camps." Both were/are horrific. Most Nazi camps were *outside Germany*, away from the eyes of German citizens. Those trains? Were to, uh, deport the category of people whose lives were deemed unimportant. Never again is now.

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov

"I think it's only a matter of time before [a state attorney general] figures out how to file state kidnapping charges against those that are abducting people who are in the country legally..." says former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley.

The constitutional crisis is here. The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador. youtu.be/HGTIELDTHOo?...

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

Given his quote in here about talking to his attorney general “Pam” about this I guess I should repost this from this past weekend from @nikkimcr.bsky.social @andrewperez.bsky.social and me for @rollingstone.com : www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It is legally impossible to deport citizens. This is not deportation. Removing citizens to foreign prisons, knowing to a certainty that they will be subjected to treatment that violates the U.S. constitution, doesn’t deserve any label that connotes legal legitimacy.

(head thunk) 1. No one is asking El Salvador to smuggle ANYTHING. The order is for Abrego Garcia to be returned OPENLY. Smuggling, by definition, is COVERT, not OPEN. 2. At no point has any one in the U.S. or El Salvador provided any evidence that Abrego Garcia is a terrorist.

The stock market should crash when Trump says he can call anyone a terrorist and send them to foreign torture prison forever because if we don’t have laws, we don’t have an economy.

No matter what the law firms say or think they are doing in acquiescing to Trump, by doing so in such a flagrant way they are helping him and making it more likely the world with no rule of law comes to pass

Serious point: This might be the most interventionist American government in my lifetime. The price of just about every good reflects the good thinking of the Commissars in Washington DC implementing their 5-year plan for National Greatness, rather than market forces.

I can’t believe I wasted time doing it but I watched that dumbass bill maher “book report” on his wh meeting/dinner with Trump finally, and it is titanically sad but also completely expected and on brand that this dipshit is too stupid to realize that Trump is a schmoozer and doesn’t scream at…
