Forget that the deportation was illegal, or that habeas corpus rights were ignored. The U.S. government asserting it can't get the dude back from our new best buds in El Salvador is some ultra weak shit.

Why didn’t Goldberg also publish the war plans which included highly classified material’ is the dumbest possible MAGA take. Naturally, that’s the one they are going with.

I can’t think of anything that would hurt MAGA more. Especially their political pastors.

Arresting someone without charge, explanation, or due process to silence dissent is unconstitutional. This type of thing happens in dictatorships, not America. You don’t have to agree with Mahmoud Khalil to defend his rights—if his freedoms can be taken by the Trump administration, so can yours.

Thanks, Elon. My salary is public, as is my financial report. But since you ask, when will you be releasing yours?

Here's a fact most Americans don't know: The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is the largest purchaser of wine by dollar value in the world. The LCBO has shut the flow of all American beer, wine, spirits. We will drink "Freedom wines" from our allies and beer from our communities.

About the presidency, Harry Truman famously said “the buck stops here.” Trump is trying to pass the buck and blame everybody but his administration for the DC plane crash. This is a time for consoling the families and investigating the cause of this tragedy, not shameful finger pointing.

With really weird things happening to journalism, I see people turning to substacks or other newsletters (often paid). But I can't find anyone talking about how libraries can provide access to (or preserve) these resources. Anyone having these discussions?

I wish someone had thought to ask a poll question 10 years ago about whether people were open to electing a convicted felon as president. I'm guessing it would have been inconceivable to most. In the last decade, the U.S. has been slow-boiled into accepting fascist criminality.

Once again, a very simple way for the Chief Justice & the other 5 Wizards In Robes to receive less criticism would be to stop completely ignoring the Constitution, the plain meaning of words, decades of legal precedent, the actual history of the Republic, & data/empirical evidence/statistics.

I'm trying to put my finger on what's happening with this great capitulation to Trump -- ABC News, Chris Wray, the Democrats signing up to work with DOGE, Mark Benioff, etc. It's like you can feel the air going out of an entire social order.
