This Tufts student was grabbed off the street, cuffed and taken out of state solely because she co-wrote a completely respectful oped in the student paper. And Rubio’s State Dept now admits they have nothing more damning than that. Gift link wapo.st/4j8d5Uh

Russian terrorist attack in Sumy, Ukraine today, Palm Sunday. Latest: 31 killed including 1 child, a further 84 injured. It is impossible not to conclude that Putin has been emboldened by Trump. This, just hours after Witkoff’s disgraceful pandering to Putin. (🎥 Euromaidan)

On my flight back from Mexico I fell asleep during takeoff and woke up to find the sky purple and didn't understand why I was the only person freaking out. The flight had one of those gas filter windows (photo next skeet).

Exiling people beyond the protection of US law without due process is not only unconstitutional, it's a rejection of the entire American revolutionary project. Sending people "beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences" is one of the grievances enumerated in the Declaration of Independence.

It wouldn’t take a lot to convince me that “Bombs Over Baghdad” is the best song of the century, maybe ever. If not the whole thing then “Bob your head, rag top” → “Power music, electric revival” is the best bridge in history. No doubt about that. Uncontrollable.

For more than a week, conservative media and politicians have worked themselves into a frenzy over a spectacle manufactured by a fencer who refused to compete against a 19-year-old trans woman. Here is the target of that hate campaign, finally, in her own words.

A birthday party in deep blue downtown Rochester might seem like a strange place to meet Trump supporters. But over the background music of The Price is Right, you can hear whispers that woke is the reason that a box of Wheat Thins is $3.49.

Very bad that mainstream media keeps accepting the premise the Trump admin is “cracking down on antisemitism”. Everyone knows none of this has anything to do with “antisemitism” it has to do with snuffing out any dissent over Israel’s genocide in Gaza and purging brown people from society

Yep. Trump just exempted smartphones & computers from the tariffs, which (1) shows the absence of any real planning (2) is contrary to what he and his admin said is the point of these tariffs and (3) does not fix the numerous other problems. There are so many vital widgets US businesses get abroad.
