Marco Rubio defends deporting Mahmoud Khalil by saying "they" did bad things: "These guys take over entire buildings. They vandalize colleges. They shut down colleges.” Rubio is point blank saying you don't need to do anything wrong personally-simply being associated with a cause is enough

Right now there is clear, overwhelming opposition to Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction across the moderate, liberal, progressive & left spectrum. This kind of loud unity is what authoritarians are afraid of. To keep it up we need every institution & public leader to join the chorus.

Here’s a prop bet that I wouldn’t take the other side of: That within two years there’ll be wars over Taiwan and the Baltics. And that the Trump administration will stand blame the Taiwanese and Baltic states for starting the conflicts against their larger neighbors.
