Authoritarianism functions in predictable cycles and Trump is currently laying the groundwork for using state violence to meet organized resistance. So much depends on what we do now and how we meet this moment. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/an-escalat...

Seems like anyone who has ever spent time in an actual courtroom should know there is no such thing as a “radical left judge” or a “communist judge” — and anyone who is saying there is is showing they are the real radicals.

Had a great discussion last night with @allinwithchris.bsky.social. As I noted, the "deference to foreign affairs" claim is projection: The real separation of powers issue here is Trump usurping Art. III functions. He wants to be judge, jury, and (literally) executioner

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe." But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment. 1/

This is horrifying and should, in any reasonable world, lead to immediate impeachment. On a hot mic, before the media arrived, starting around 7:15 on the time index, Trump tells Bukele he is going to start sending "homegrown criminals" to El Salvadoran gulags. This is fascism.

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.

The next time Florida tries to ban a book to "protect the children," remember that they want to change laws to make 14 year-old work overnight shifts. They don't care about children, they just care about erasing women and all people who are LGBTQ or of color. wsvn.com/news/local/f...

The whole point is not just the state disappearing whoever they want, it's you being in the habit of accepting the state choosing whom to disappear, without question. It's submission to the state. Same as with Gitmo after 9/11. The state's judgment must not be questioned.
