Tea Pain and She Pain just spent a lovely week in Switzerland, enjoying peace, diversity and a functional democracy. Walking the streets in complete safety and enjoying all the different languages and cultures existing harmoniously. This happiness is something America should strive for.

INCREDIBLE opinion by Wilkinson refusing to stay Judge Xinis's orders in the Abrego Garcia case, condemning DOJ's arguments as "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Yep, I’m going to “politicize” the FSU shooting because gun violence is political. The reason America has a 26 times higher gun homicide rate than any peer nation is because politicians care more about pandering to gun lobbyists than protecting their constituents.

DOGE is shaping up to be the biggest failure of all time. All pain. No gain. Shrouded in secrecy, lies, and false projections. A scam on the American people.

The Trump “administration is a cruel farce. Trump ran for another term not because he had any clue how to transform America…He ran in order to stay out of jail and to get revenge on those who, with real evidence, had tried to hold him accountable to the law.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/o...

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

#2 hit me differently just now. It’s not just “stay calm,” tho we should. It’s “I’m in the moment. What’s the best choice now?” You can feel urgency w/o soul-draining terror. And that realization is the root of resistance and change.

What a phrase: Harvard is “about to learn the price of crossing the president.” If free speech exists, there should be zero “cost” to “crossing the president.” This is to treat Trump as a mob boss, rather than the president of the United States.

I continue to think it's not really about the tariffs, although the tariffs are bad. That nobody could or would stop him from doing the tariffs are the story. It's not 2017 anymore. The stock market is not the scoreboard.

I miss this man every day! What's happening in our country under Trump is dangerous, criminal & authoritarian. I hope everyone in America realizes & regrets what we lost in abandoning, Joe Biden, the BEST PRESIDENT in my lifetime & tunes in to hear him speak. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

Let's be clear that "trying to cover your tracks" on a federal government computer system is itself a crime under 18 USC 2071, independent of other crimes committed. Audit trails are official government records. If performed to cover up other crimes, obstruction statutes also apply.

Rep Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY): “Mr. Abrego Garcia must be returned immediately before he is killed in one of the most dangerous prisons in the world. Enough with the fake bravado. This is not America. The Supreme Court must aggressively enforce its order immediately.”

It’s really remarkable. So many ostensibly smart scholars pretending to be complete idiots in the service of partisan politics. And when historians and lawyers poke holes in their half-assed “arguments,” they have the nerve to act aggrieved.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring all removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Todd Lyons dream is a horrifying nightmare for anyone with a microgram of empathy and compassion in their soul. That he'd say this out loud tells me everything I need to know about him and is all the evidence I need that he should never have been given even a sliver of government responsibility.

I don’t use the “fascist” term often or really ever, as to preserve its meaning, but what the United States Government is embarking on with the El Salvadoran prison camp is simply that. It’s an affront to the rule of law, the Constitution, and centuries of Anglo-American constitutional development.

I keep reading in the news how we're on the "brink" of a Constitutional crisis. The content of the news sure sounds like we're well past "brink", what with DOGE running rampant, people being black bagged off the street, and the administration blatantly ignoring judges orders. So: define "brink".

I want to thank @scalzi.com for bringing some levity into troubling times. We've just finished the audiobook for "When The Moon Hits Your Eye" and (despite initial skepticism about the premise) it's an absolute delight with on-point social commentary and excellent insight into human nature. Bravo!

Define "our." When you say "our country," WHO exactly are you talking about? List the specific Americans that make up "our" in your mind. Then we'll talk.
