One little-known company has made billions running detention camps for asylum-seekers at the border. It's now repurposing its tents to hold some of the thousands of people arrested by ICE and facing deportation. By @micarosenberg.bsky.social, @jeffernsthausen.bsky.social & Avi Asher-Schapiro

Seeing way too many people suggest that if Trump decides to do this, then "nothing can stop him." That's both legally false and defeatist. Once we're talking real tyranny, which this would be, then certain constitutional remedies open up. The Founding Fathers knew this would happen.

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

Trump’s DOJ is arguing that they have the unfettered right to disappear people based on an administrative error, with no obligation to try and make that person’s return happen. A horror movie. And only the SCOTUS can stop it. Will they? I don’t think so. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Trump directs the FCC (again) to go after 60 Minutes, with “maximum fines and punishment, which is substantial, for their unlawful and illegal behavior.” (60 Minutes did nothing unlawful or illegal.)

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

the fact that there are many details in the report that are just observably false is a good reason news organizations could, if they wanted to, deny it the presumption of proof and cover the president's health as if it's a scandalous question

It’s not about saving money. The U.S. doesn’t have a spending problem, a debt problem, or a deficit problem. What we have is a wealth inequality problem—and DOGE is designed to make that real issue way worse. It’s a con. The entire point is to defang government and insulate wealth from democracy.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

Emminently foreseeable but it's telling that Rubio, confirmed without dissent in the Senate, is like the rest of his party so completely wrapped up in Trumpism that it makes no point to see Trump & party as distinct.

interesting attempt here but, ethically and under court rules, you are personally responsible for what you file. if a pro se party files something you wrote for them and doesn’t use your name, you are still responsible for what they filed.
