It is really bothering me (understatement) that the message is “bring back that one innocent guy” and not “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK SHUT DOWN THIS WHOLE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY.”

Honestly I'm glad they picked Harvard to try out this novel "we're mad" legal theory of revoking tax-exempt status, given its infinite resources, deep network of powerful alumni, and law school attended by 142 sitting federal judges. Good luck! 🫡

Worth mentioning that the current US administration is actively increasing deforestation/forest degradation on public lands under the false premise of 'wildfire risk reduction'. And abundant evidence shows more commercial logging will only worsen wildfire hazard, not reduce it. 🌏

There will be no serious solution until decent people figure out how to control the information space so normal people hear actual news. The propaganda here is thick.

Many people want the appearance of having their intellects or aesthetics challenged, but not the actual experience of it.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

In fairness, Garcia was engaged in human trafficking, by Leavitt's boss, who kidnapped and trafficked him.

Listening to the Sunday “This Day” podcast… @pastpunditry.bsky.social just said, “You can’t actually appease them” with regard to Columbia’s concessions to Trump. This scans. After all, plutocrats wouldn’t be what they are if they understood “Enough,” or if their greed could be satisfied.

If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next? This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.

It seems that throughout history there have been quite a few genuinely evil pieces of shit. In fact I’d wager industrial civ, & in particular capitalism, & especially postwar US, depends on them

Mohsen Mahdawi of White River Junction, Vermont was illegally detained by ICE during what was supposed to be the final step in his citizenship process. Mr. Mahdawi, a legal resident of the US, must be afforded due process under the law and immediately released from detention.

Hi, this is Marshal Philippe Pétain. I hope you're as outraged by the Nazis as I am, with their reckless and brazen flouting of the law. Together, we can tell those Nazis that they're not welcome in our democracy! That's why I'm texting you tonight to ask you to chip in $5, $25 or whatever you can.

For legal reasons, I want to say that I would never recommend any sort of vandalism, especially not as a symbolic gesture against greedy buffoons. This poem must be, like, a work of satire, or something. But here’s a little villanelle for the week we’ve had.

It's important for people to understand that we're on a trajectory that eventually leads to political prisoners (first non-citizens, then citizens) being sent to these camps.

Today, Mohsen Mahdawi, a legal resident of Vermont, walked into an immigration office to complete a final step for citizenship. Instead, he was arrested by plain-clothed, armed individuals with faces covered. This is immoral, inhumane, and illegal. He must receive due process and be released.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.
