Insofar as there's no apparent remedy to bad faith use of the judiciary, might we instead assign a social cost in the way of a good old fashioned shunning?

Don’t look away. This is what Libya’s migrant detention facilities look like. This is what Trump is doing. Amnesty International called Libya’s migrant detention centers a “hellscape,” where beatings and sexual violence are rampant and there are many reports of trafficking and even slavery.

Since Trump took office, his family has made $2.9 billion in crypto. Again, this is a level of corruption so cartoonish, so obvious & on the surface, that it seems to have stunned everyone to silence.

“So you (expletive) bombed the country, razed entire cities to the ground, killed a hundred children, shot civilians for no reason, blockaded Mariupol, deprived millions of people of a normal life and forced them to leave for foreign countries? All for the sake of friendship with Ukraine?”

Mr. Ceesay is a 63-year old man thrown into ICE detention with no warning in February after 14 years of check-ins — where he had a heart attack soon after. Judge Vilardo uses his case to emphasize WHY due process matters, even if deportation is the outcome. It's worth reading this whole thing.

Maybe democratic leaders need to make it clear now: if you’re a nation that engaged in absolute corruption with the Trump family, you will absolutely pay a price when he is out of office. Our people deserve better

If Trump is serious about tariffs on movies, it's a very dangerous escalation. Tariffs have not traditionally been applied to services, and the United States is a massive net exporter of services. We would be extremely vulnerable to any service-based retaliation.

Every parent knows that when your kids won't show you their homework, it's only because they've definitely done it, and they're protecting you from bursting with pride about their work. And that's why I'm confident that the White House has definitely made a bunch of terrific trade deals.

Trump explains to his disciples that imported goods are merely the manifestation of our uncontrolled desires, which themselves are but illusions.

This gets papered over as old man yelling at clouds but this is impeachable by itself. Greenland is our ally which has allowed a continual U.S. military presence since WWII, including a vital part of our missile defense and space surveillance. Threatening them is unacceptable.

I think this comes from a good place but I disagree. A common thread in deradicalization stories is stigma: Once people start losing friends and jobs they reconsider their beliefs. Obviously you should try to be nice to people but you also need to draw a line where you won’t engage anymore.

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

"One does not simply give up the kind of power Musk bought for himself with his quarter-billion-dollar contribution to the Trump election. If anything, Musk’s nefarious meddling with government is only just beginning. Yet the mainstream press has largely bought this simple narrative."

If you're wondering why there's been so much insistence lately that COVID-19 was a lab leak, here's why: it is going to be an example for why all biomedical research & public health work should be defunded. No evidence supports a lab leak, but it's used to justify cutting NIH's budget by 40%.

So crucial to understand that these were not known to ICE when he was deported illegally. And as for the allegations of domestic violence, his wife admits it and says it was in part due to a deep depression he fell into after being jailed by ICE in 2019! He broke out of it and she took him back.

Fascinating to hear Trump voters express regret—especially on pocketbook issues like tariffs. But until they admit not voting for Kamala was a mistake, it doesn’t mean much. Case in point: “I didn’t think [tariffs] would be put in play in a juvenile way.” 💡Meanwhile that’s what was on the ballot

They took down the USAID memorial to the fallen. I can’t. I honestly cannot. Those people were the best we had to offer and they served in our name. They died doing it. And now their memorial is in a box somewhere tentatively, to be rehomed to who knows where.
