everyone who said dems needed to be fighting for every single inch and delaying trump’s staffing and govt funding as much as possible was right. everyone who said to lay low and wait for trump to self-impeach was wrong.

Also, I’m just going to say it. Almost everyone who’s like “it’s an accessibility tool!” is nondisabled. Disabled people are repulsed by the suggestion we need a robot to do our humaning for us, whether that’s creating or analyzing or fact checking. It’s offensive.

Kinda insane and shows how afraid the networks are of upsetting this administration that a guy who killed 7 people and wounded 48 with “47” literally tattooed on his face has all but been forgotten like there’s still not a very serious threat emanating from every pore of this pathetic cult

Another case of "you do realize that's worse, right?" It is flatly illegal for DOD to be doing anything like this on its own rather than merely providing support to a domestic civilian agency like DHS. Their putative defense here is saying the military kidnapped people all on its own.

30 years after arriving in the US, I just resigned from Northwestern and we sold our house. We are an American family, I became a citizen in 2014, and until recently did not expect to ever leave. But now, this no longer feels like the right place to raise a family and pursue a research career.

An underappreciated aspect of what happened in March is that Bukele got the U.S. to deport someone under indictment in this country who had a lot of dirty laundry on Bukele’s actions before the State of Exception.

The thing that today's Lipstadt and Greenblatt interviews demonstrate most clearly is that institutionalists absolutely cannot be trusted in the fight against bigotry because their only loyalty will be to the institution, and their first priority will always be maintaining its reputation and power.

Vance and the pope, Hegseth's signal groups, Rubio unraveling the state department, RFK Jr.'s antics—it's a lot. Don't lose sight of the way they are destroying due process. 278 US "deportees" are still in CECOT. They're stonewalling on Abrego Garcia. Others have plain disappeared. Gift link.

NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.

These are the proactive steps states need to be taking right now. Another thing: every Democratic governor needs to have a sit-down now with the state adjutant general to carefully review that person's understanding of their responsibilities to their state, its citizens and the federal constitution.
