A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Salute to all of the geniuses in Silicon Valley, on Wall Street, and in media c-suites who convinced themselves that what the USA needed was an autocrat CEO — and that Donald Trump was that executive. Brilliant, sirs. Just brilliant.

If the tariffs hit hard tomorrow - and to be honest, either way - the UK needs to respond with a strong 'Buy British' campaign. Canada has done it to great effect. Time for some progressive patriotism to stand up to the Orange Menace and his callous trade war.

I don't understand my friends who don't want to leave X because "yes, Melon destabilized the world, but I have 300 followers." I lost 75,000 followers, and that's a small sacrifice when an information-sharing tool has become a tool for controlling information, benefiting authoritarian governments.
