Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Believing that America can or must be good does not require one to believe that America is or was good or that Americans are more important than anyone else in the world. I don't know who it serves to insist otherwise.

I'm remembering the time I watched an all white burlesque group perform to "Free Your Mind" by En Vogue. Unparalleled cringe. It haunts me.

Black Mirror pitch: POTUS destroys democracy in 90 days. Everyone watches it happen on their phones. The opposition party leaders are 85 years old and post "Hey, stop" once a day. Toiletries are locked behind glass. An evil online bookstore sends Katy Perry into space for feminism. [fin]

When American citizens have to worry about returning to their own country from travel abroad, you ain’t living in a free republic.

These are not detainments—they are kidnappings. These are not deportations—they are human trafficking. These are not detention centers—they are concentration camps. Language matters. This is fascism.

"When fascism comes to America, it will come wrapped in..." "Oh... sorry. It already came." "What?" "Yep. Already here." "But I was told there'd be signs..." "Yeah, sorry about that. There were signs. You just missed them."

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

I just started listening to the Murderbot series, and I haven't loved a fictional android this much since Star Trek's Data.

I wasn't interested in Alan Wake 2 until I learned that Poe has a song on it and now I'm obsessed. I've listened to "Haunted" so many times I could probably recite the album backward.

We're canceling a once-in-a-lifetime trip to London because I'm not confident that we won't be detained or exiled to an El Salvadorean prison upon our return.
