Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

But then I sigh, and, with a piece of scripture, Tell them that God bids us do good for evil: And thus I clothe my naked villainy With odd old ends stol’n forth of holy writ, And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.

If i had had any role in sending an innocent man to prison in El Salvador ( or anywhere) i would spend every moment trying to bring him back to his home & freedom- for as long as it took. I feel all of us would do that. Only a sociopath would do otherwise

🚨House Republicans just passed a bill that would disenfranchise 70 million married American women. Under the SAVE Act, women who took their spouse’s last name and don't have an updated passport or birth certificate would be turned away at the polls.

How it was that they so aboundingly responded to the old man’s ire—by what evil magic their souls were possessed, that at times his hate seemed almost theirs

“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).

i feel physical pain from how stupid this presidency is.

Seems less scary than in the original German, but don’t be deceived michiganadvance.com/2025/04/09/i...

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

Trump on Fox in 2014

One of the most clarifying things I've seen in the past few weeks is "de-escalate all conflict that is not with the enemy."

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

That hast by tyranny these many years Wasted our country, slain our citizens, And sent our sons and husbands captivate.

Important for all of us but especially journalists.

Sending anyone - foreigner or US citizen - to a foreign prison is not "deportation."

Justice Sotomayor, writing in today's deportation case. How many times must she write, "With fear for our democracy, I dissent," before Republicans get the point? Perhaps only when, as the poem goes, they come for them.

What are the odds that enough Supreme Court Justices believe we shouldn't put people in foreign torture prisons without due process & especially when the government misrepresents the evidence it has in briefs it submits to the Court?

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

Looking at you Justice Roberts.

Think about what kind of person you have to be to lie about sending someone to a torture prison for life based on nothing bsky.app/profile/atru...

It's not discussed in all the stories. But a key feature of the revocation of student visas is that there's no notification. This has forced universities to do regular online reviews of current visas to see which have disappeared since the previous query. The lack of notification is by design.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Winner!

Putting out an APB: Is there an immigration attorney who is currently awake and can speak for a few minutes? A student of mine has an emergency situation. DMs are open. cc @chrisgeidner.bsky.social @mjsdc.bsky.social @annabower.bsky.social @kevinmkruse.bsky.social @kenwhite.bsky.social

Too the fucking streets!

Ag’d sir, hands off.

if Kristin Noem can coordinate a media stunt at the prison he is at then they can get him released.

Clean food was nice while it lasted. Is this what you want, not being able to trust that the food you eat and the medicine you take won't kill you or your family?
