For the Trump administration, there is no upside to returning Abrego Garcia. It’s all downside. They are going to stall, quibble, argue, and whatever else until a court orders them to do it, and then they are going to make explicit what they’ve been doing all along, which is say no.

We saw Jane Goodall at the Queen E last night. Amazing. 91 yrs old and going strong, articulate, thoughtful, witty, and spontaneous. She had really good things to say both encouraging and practical. Worth seeing her if you can.

McCormick was born in 1968. One reason he did not remember seeing people with autism at the time was autism did not have a diagnosis separate from schizophrenia in the DSM until 1980.

The Trump regime is working to deter dissent. Anyone who goes against Trump could end up on a target list. This is having a chilling effect on five major pillars of society — universities, science, the media, the law, and the arts. It's straight out of the fascist playbook.

What makes this visual even more stunning is that it was made possible by people who said their #1 concern when voting was the economy. What idiots.

I saw someone criticizing a very funny poster for making jokes instead of posting about politics, and I am reminded of a favorite line from E. B. White: We should strive not for balanced books but balanced libraries

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969. One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

a different way to get at this is to ask yourself what is a constitution? is it a legal contract or is it a political document? is meaning singularly reducible to text or does meaning emerge from text and context?

France’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. South Korea’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Brazil’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Only America’s decided a criminal must be allowed to break its laws and destroy its democracy.
