We need to keep repeating that US Citizens cannot be deported. Only trafficked out of the country. ICE and the Trump Administration trafficked a child to a foreign country.

This was the inevitable pretzel logic that UK Supreme Court decision would lead to. NO ONE is helped by this, and a hell of a lot of people will be hurt by it.

A heartening story. One of many stories showing that everyone can play their own unique role in fighting back.

It's cool how Pete Hegseth thought running the Department of Defense would involve knocking out some push-ups on camera and hitting various Marine Todd notes on cable news and then he has just been living the "Jump Into The Fire" sequence from Goodfellas for every single moment since he got the job.

Every detail of this story is more horrifying than the last. He was sick and they denied him medical attention in favor of hustling him to the airport to get him to a less favorable jurisdiction.

PLEASE don’t buy into Amazon’s booksale this week. They are intentionally trying to eat into profits from Indie Bookstore Day this weekend, a really important annual event for our important community institutions. Check out your local fave or bookshop.org.

I strongly encourage everyone to listen to or read this interview, and to share it widely—with Trump critics and with his supporters.

Trump Team (2022-24): Peace in Ukraine is so easy, we’ll accomplish it in a day. Trump Team (2025): Hey you, Ukraine, give Putin what he wants. Ukraine: No. Trump Team: Hey you, Europe. Cut off Ukraine so they get scared and surrender. Europe: No, shan’t. Trump Team: Well, we’re out of ideas.

I think it's getting lost that Trump is *currently* very much in the process of defying the Supreme Court, which directed the administration to "facilitate" Abrego Garcia's return. This is not some theoretical showdown that will happen later. It's upon us right now.

The fact that there might be a conclave so close to a movie about one has really motivated me to finish my screenplay "The Tech CEO Who Died of Diarrhea So Explosive The Coroner Said He Had No Lower Back to Speak Of"

I suspect Trump doesn't want to call attention to this assassination attempt bc so much of his 2nd Term propaganda is built off a claim that surviving assassination attempts is proof he (Trump) was picked by God to save the country.

The idea that a men would go through this much trouble to be creeps is so insane like they've clearly had no issue finding places to be creeps for free. But now suddenly they're out of other ideas and willing to go through a life altering process to sneak by your (checks notes) unlocked door.
