Hope one of the deportees gets Tom Homan to the Hague

In honor of Holy Saturday:

If you follow my advice, you may wake up to the best Supreme Court opinion of recent days

There's a lot going on here, but one very clear takeaway seems to be that SCOTUS is tired of being fucked around, and tired of their lower courts being fucked around, on these removals.

BREAKING: SCOTUS orders the government not to remove anyone from the United States under Trump’s Alien Enemies Act proclamation who is a part of the potential class in the Northern District of Texas case until further order of the court. Only Thomas and Alito note their dissent.

Old North Church in Boston last night on the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's ride.

250 years ago today America began its march toward independence at the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The battles marked “No Kings Day, Part I.” Today millions of Americans will take part in “No Kings Day, Part II.”

This is so true. It's what pulled us out of the great depression and made the country wealthy. The other side of this same coin is: Let older people retire so they can get out of the way. There are legions of older folk who can afford to stop working but can't lose their insurance.

“young men don’t have positive role models anymore” listen Sinners is 138 minutes long and I think at least 25 of those minutes are taken up with explaining how and why to eat pussy

Happy Patriots Day, that is, the day citizens battled an autocratic power

If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

Punch a bully in the nose and see what happens

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

“frankly, he has not won an election since before I was born” Lmaooooo

The promise of Communion and Confirmation money (and the discomfort of telling your kid that they won't get it but their pals all will) is the finger in the dam of Irish Catholicism. jrnl.ie/6678969

Happy 250th Anniversary of Lexington and Concord from the Supreme Court of the United States

More real science, less fake feminism.

Columbia: "Wait, we could have just said no!?"

I am going to give a talk on the physics of punting (with an actual physicist) at CONvergence in Minneapolis in July that they already had to move out of a normal conference room to the big auditorium due to demand, and I highly doubt the NYT is going to send someone to cover it

When everything sucks, go to bed early on a Friday. You deserve it

This is the American born citizen who was held in Florida by ICE despite possessing a valid birth certificate. Glad he is out of custody.

More people should pause before lashing out at folks who share their hatred of this administration and ask themselves, "Am I using this person as a punching bag because I don't know how to strike back at the people responsible for all of the kidnappings, killings, deportations, and destruction?"

Important to note the Potemkin villages they're going to set up each time someone with a soul goes down to monitor the conditions of the concentration camp are part of the war crime itself. The audience for this propaganda is MAGA rubes, not The Hague, which will be indifferent.

Head Start, an early childhood education program for low income families, is on the chopping block. Growing up, my own mom was an aide with the program; it’s helped countless young mothers, including the one who tells her story here. www.kqed.org/news/1203596...

So, this guy obviously doesn't have MS13 on his knuckles. What an absurd claim! But as a tattoo historian, I can say: even if he did, it's all absolutely no evidence that he's affiliated with the gang anyway. Tattooing a Nike logo on you doesn't mean you make shoes.

what could your bluesky-con be about that could draw 200 people “darthcon” would have dogs to pet and fried potato dishes to sample

Pardon me. Her technopurist cap, not her Mennonite cap.

Trump fabricates a photo of Mr. Garcia with MS-13 tattoo on his hand. This is NOT a real image. Trump and his regime fabricated it. Please understand that Trump regime would fabricate evidence to put you or your family in jail. This is what FASCISM regimes do. www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-...

Musk and everyone involved with DOGE should be prosecuted. It's long past time to topple the Trump Musk Regime.

These are not images the leader of a free country chooses to project to the world.

Congratulations to Gavin Wax, the new Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor at the FCC!

this is such a basic con, too

I keep seeing Trump administration officials expressing outrage that Democrats are defending a man (Abrego Garcia) with domestic assault allegations against him, and, just to reiterate, these are people who work for the Trump administration.

I've been thinking about lot about that Toni Morrisson quote about racism as a distraction and how some Dems like Newsom think Kilmar Garcia is a distraction from the economy. Isn't it a tacit admission that they don't care about facism and oligarchy?

BREAKING: The Ninth Circuit denies DOJ's request to allow the Trump admin to end protected status for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans in the U.S. while litigation continues. A district court had blocked the administration's effort to end the relevant TPS action in a stark opinion in March.

There is just no way to square ICE's conduct with the plain text of the Supreme Court's order.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

"i don't know, man, this is just what i've been told" is the sound of the bus getting warmed up in case anyone needs to be thrown under it

"Hello, I would like some grams of drugs, please." "Surely, sir. How many?" "Seven thousand, if you have it."

This guy is really exceeding my expectations. A reminder of the consequences of handing a small man real power.

Sorry but I just don't feel comfortable sharing public toilets with transphobes. At any moment they could just demand to have a look at my gennies. The law should protect women's spaces from these creeps.

I wish more of us would write about and teach emotional intelligence. It's critical, fascinating, should begin in kindergarten, and continue through graduate and professional school. #Lawsky #Edusky #Trump #MAGA www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
