Let me say this again: If a president can illegally deport someone, conspire with that country’s leader to abandon them to human rights abuses, and face no consequences, we are in a hellish authoritarian moment. What a fucking evil, illiberal government this is.

El Salvador is a contractor providing the United States with a paid service. The idea that we couldn’t get anyone they’re holding back with the snap of a finger just by asking is so ludicrous on its face, it seems less like a real excuse and more like a test of how much shit the courts will eat.

If you see this post, share a pic from your device with no explanation:

Exiling people beyond the protection of US law without due process is not only unconstitutional, it's a rejection of the entire American revolutionary project. Sending people "beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences" is one of the grievances enumerated in the Declaration of Independence.

Pilots should take note to use caution with all upper-level forecast products, including global models and CAMS, the rawinsondes (weather balloons) from Omaha/Valley are not happening, and as such, that data is missing in guidance products. Everything east of 96W affected.

It is now official policy of the US Presidency to 1) annex the entire nation of Canada, 2) invade our NATO ally Denmark, and 3) hold the sovereignty of El Salvador to be more immaculate than the mother of Jesus.

I pray you’ll read my latest. We are being challenged as a nation and this is a test we must pass. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

I could be wrong, but this sounds like an admission of a human trafficking conspiracy.

It’s hard to think of anything he’s done in his second term that’s *not* impeachable.

Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings. Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

The #OffbeatEats crew has been trying to hit up the various community meals around the area. Which brings us to one of the best community breakfasts out there, the Marlow, NH Odd Fellows Breakfast on the 3rd Sunday of each month. A bountiful $9 breakfast buffet. offbeateats.org/2025/04/odd-...

This is such a practical, user-friendly and transparent tool to help people navigate and understand this ongoing and unnecessary disaster. There's something deeply Minnesotan about it, and also deeply teacher-ly, that I kinda feel choked up a little bit.

So the Supreme Court’s strategy seems pretty clearly to be forestall admitting we have a constitutional crisis by giving Trump huge victories on narrow procedural grounds. This is akin to having engineers move the Rubicon River closer and closer to Rome to avoid Caesar crossing it.

Does anyone know what he's talking about? Where are the showers not working? Where are the dishwashers not doing the job? Where is this coming from? I feel like an investigation will show that Trump shafted a plumbing contractor and they got revenge by messing with the pipes at Mar-a-Lago.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Donald turns his limited attention from setting fire to our economy with his crazy obsession with tariffs to make time for yet one more of his crazy obsessions: the amount of water coming from showerheads.

Illegal attempts to access IRS data was an article of impeachment against Nixon.

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

El Salvador's President will visit the USA next week. I hope he's spotted in an intersection by ICE.

Newsflash: they are planning to deport American citizens, and I can guarantee it won’t be just violent criminals. It will be anyone who has spoken out against this fascist regime. Anyone who supports this hates America, the Constitution, and everything the founding fathers fought for.

Sharing our last #OffbeatEats review from October's Portugal trip, with an excellent outing to A Cozinha Sr. Lisboa ("Mr. Lisbon's Kitchen") for some top-notch elevated Portuguese classics. offbeateats.org/2025/04/a-co...

There’s a lesson here for every Big Law firm, university and media company if they care to learn it.

1) The de-extinction company is an excellent example of VC Tech Science Rot 2) That is not a dire wolf. 3) There are major major ethical considerations for if we even could de-extinct something getting very conveniently ignored because people apparently like the idea of jurassic park

I'm old enough to remember way back in history, when GDP Growth in the USA was 2.5% and the Stock Markets weren't crashing, incomes were up, unemployment was down, and 16 million new jobs were created. Oh, wait, that was last November.

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

Playing around with CBP airport processing data this morning to see how much air travel by non-US passengers is cratering.

🚨 If you’re continuously stunned by the behavior of gerrymandered GOP representatives in the world of Citizens United, don’t be. Here’s how to think of them: They are no longer public servants. Improving public outcomes is not their goal. Nor do they do better in life… 1/

who did this?

I cannot describe enough how utter trash his swing form is …
