Sharing from X: "ICE is filing declarations in multiple cases admitting they don't have power to terminate student status, so students whose student records (SEVIS) are terminated remain in valid status. This means colleges disenrolling students (a majority) are punishing them for no reason."

the media is like this because they like netanyahu's right wing government and wants to help them smear american peace protesters.

This all alone is an open-and-shut cause for impeachment, yes there are dozens of others but sometimes it's clarifying to just look at one

they hate our beef because our beef is beautiful and theirs is weak

The Trump administration is persuading former close allies to regard the US as a dangerously hostile power ... and is assuring former adversaries that the US is run by easily deceived and manipulated patsies, fools, and stooges.

a liberal doing a boycott or a leftist doing a sit in or non violent occupation of a building all get called terrorists, a conservative shooting people or running them down with their car or blowing up a building is defined as let's not talk about that too much more of them might kill people

yeah man there are consequences to putting a deranged old man in the white house

i find this notion that public spending is illegitimate bizarre as a matter of economics but totally legible as a statement of moral economy. and as per any strict system of morality, the punishment is part of the appeal. they are punishing the american people for believing in the public good.

Moving a detainee around to evade judicial review is classic authoritarian behavior.

Supreme Court Justices keep suggesting to him he's a king, and he's just going to run with it.

trump was literally president for four years during which he wildly escalated drone warfare, tried to provoke a war with Iran and got into dangerous saber-rattling with north korea. now, he is threatening to take greenland and the panama canal by force. what is this horseshit?

Every accusation is an intention.

I’m still agog that, thanks to gerrymandering and cowardice, my senators and congressman don’t have town halls and won’t sit down with reporters to answer questions.

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

Every single politician in America, especially Republican could learn a lesson about not cravenly debasing yourself like a pathetic meek coward. (There are other terms that come to mind.)

"what do these people do anyway, eh just fire them" from the clowns in charge. clown 1 golfs all day, clown 2 posts all day, the rest of the clowns are 20-year-old incel cybercriminals www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/s...

the problem with confronting a media guy with the fact that he is more offended by some kid on tumblr being too woke 8 years ago than a right wing president banning the use of several words is that most of them will simply say "yes, I am" and move on.

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

"we thought they did something with nuclear power that could be handled by anyone"

The growing consensus amongst "respectable" pundits and politicians seems to be that all the worst atrocities of the 20th century are sort of fine to do, actually, and they're not sure why all that international law stuff is so pissy about them

thankfully the word privilege never appears in any documents related to intelligence or cyber security/hacking

[New York Times Voice] Critics say they are alarmed by Hitler’s night of long knives, but his unconventional attempt to consolidate power is not without precedent.

Susan Faludi talks about this in "Backlash" too: In the '80s tons of men were told 'we can't hire you because we have to hire a woman' even though companies weren't hiring very many women. Managers were just too chickenshit to tell men they weren't qualified.

Cord Jefferson, quitting Instagram, sums many things up: “I don’t need Instagram to be a haven for free speech for the same reason I don’t need a Jamba Juice or a Hooters to be a haven for free speech.”

if you kill a disfavored person in the street the leaders of the republican party will try to make you a national hero. absolutely not an ominous sign for the future.

BREAKING: NYPD has a discovered “a cool rock” in Central Park. “This cost taxpayers $38 million in overtime,” a police spokesman said

god i’m going to be thinking about this for days. the exec unintentionally describing the foundational principle of private health insurance in america. just wild

TRUMP: I’m going to use the FBI illegally to go after my political enemies! BIDEN: Um, I guess I’ll pardon my son then because fuck that. MEDIA: Biden is breaking norms!

This seems like a good summary of how the media is failing here.

Boar on the floor! It's a game, it's fun!

people when I was a kid: "the future will give us flying cars and a cure for cancer." the future: "I can give you another Kennedy and polio. believe it or not, the two are related"

Theil's been very explicit that his definition of words like "elite" and "ruling class" are not defined by material wealth but by ideology and aesthetic. They/them barista? Elite. Catholic billionaire? Underclass.

leak the fucking report, you all have 473 reporters on speed dial, stop playing by rules nobody cares about and embarrass these people by any means necessary

I am very interested to see how many people think it’s okay to have sex with a child as long as you’re a heterosexual Republican.

one day you're going to see elon posting "we just cut 200 million dollars going to bull weevil outbreak prevention 😂😂" and then a couple months later the entire midwest will be decimated by the first mass bull weevil outbreak since 1884
