Whenever Matt sees an "Employees Must Wash Hands" sign at a restaurant

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

Someone once said NextDoor is the social network for dogs if they could type. It’s always “what’s that noise?” and “who’s that stranger?” which is exactly what I imagine my dogs would text other neighborhood dogs.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

Since the Trump admin continues to claim Mr. Abrego Garcia is a gang member, I thought I'd take the time to put together a timeline, based on all the documents filed in court, which lays out all the "evidence" the government has ever offered. As you'll find out, there's very little "there" there!

“I would like to see people feel free to be able to share their thoughts with the auditor general without feeling that there may be retribution for them.” Mr. Guthrie remains consistent. 👏👏 edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

- I don’t have a reservation under your name. Can you check again? - No, there’s nothing in the system. But I have an email confirmation. - We don’t use email.

I don't know if Sen. Chris Van Hollen (of Maryland, the same state as Kilmar Abrego Garcia) demanding Garcia's return and saying he'll go to El Salvador to check will work. It's impossible to know the impact in advance. But I am glad to see Van Hollen trying something. Better to get caught trying.

1/2: Mohsen Madawi arrested at his citizenship interview. A lawful permanent resident, his 1A rights are nearly co-extensive with citizens rights. While USA DT does not always take a lawyer's word for things, in our assessment Madawi belongs on the tracker. abc7ny.com/post/columbi...

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who: –has green card –was Columbia Buddhist club president –saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier –said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

Can't stop thinking about how Marco "99-0" Rubio signed a document submitted to the court that claimed he can deport anyone for their "past, current or EXPECTED beliefs"

It was very frustrating to watch reporters in the Oval allow Bukele's assertion these people are "terrorists" to go unquestioned

This ad is homophobic as hell and should be taken down immediately.

This is beyond illegal.

lol at Matt Yglesias forgetting to switch to his sock puppet account

The international judges at Nuremberg knew what to do with people like this when the evidence of their crimes was laid bare.

what song would you annoy your crew mates with?

Deputy #Conservative leader Melissa Lantsman has regularly taken aim at Brookfield, Liberal Leader Mark Carney’s former company. But an IJF analysis found she and six other Conservative MPs all disclosed investments in the company as recently as last year. Find out more. theijf.org/conservative...

master class in headline accuracy

They violated a court order to keep the AP out of the event where they publicly violated a different court order

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.

In a jarring and upsetting exchange, Mickey Rourke, a 72-year-old actor and former boxer, levied a series of homophobic remarks at Jojo Siwa. Read the full story here ⤵️

Canada seeks new country to rip off every part of our culture from

Constituent services caseworkers are magical and it doesn't matter what your politics are. One helped me figure out an IRS snag that even I, a well trained lawyer, had issues with.

The vibes are good. But every neighbourhood is different and support levels vary. This election will be very close - 338Canada.com has it as a toss-up and it sure feels like it. We can win, with hard work. Volunteer, talk to your friends and neighbours, and VOTE!

Hi I am going to post something thoughtless and mildly transgressive and later post wounded meditations on how mean you were to me about it, thank you for your participation in this wankelectualism

Is Calgary Confederation a "conservative riding"? What do we mean when we say Calgary Confederation is a swing riding?

Days before ICE detained Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk, the State Dept. determined that the Trump administration had not produced evidence showing she engaged in antisemitic activities or made public statements supporting a terrorist organization. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

New season of Black Mirror is out, so it's time to share the tweet:
