Last bit of music for today. Jim Croce (naturally) with "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown"--a personal favourite, honestly. Time for an (evening) office dance break!

the transfer to El Salvador of US deportees is, per Pres Bukele, a straight up contract that has “nothing to do w/foreign policy.” The fees we are paying makes their entire prison system “sustainable.” Don’t see how US can make argument that bringing A-G back is some sensitive foreign policy matter

I've seen some people saying how "AI"-generated text is now as good as certain published authors, and honestly I think it's really brave for these folks to admit in public how poor their reading comprehension has to be

Good way to see the current tariffs, as of literally today, is no tariffs on high value add manufactured goods marketed to middle and upper middle classes. Massive tariffs for cheap consumer items which amount to the biggest economic privilege of working class/middle class life in US.

Another question, other than the obvious wage slavery of it all, is... why? Why do we need them mining and refining materials? They'll say it's so they can make the "AI revolution" go faster, but to what end? Why is any of this happening? None of this needs to or should happen.

This isn't going to end until the judges start holding lawyers and DOJ officials in contempt and throwing them in jail. Even that might not end it, but there's no point trying to delay the inevitable. They're just getting bolder and more destructive as they go.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Bring back everyone who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. No one should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

Sometimes I think about the first time I saw an egg with a healthy golden yolk, it was either in Germany or Austria, I forget but I legit thought there was something wrong with the egg and I think I actually asked the waiter what the fuck was wrong with this egg

If you ever meet someone spouting this nonsense, just ask what steps they’re taking to prepare their kids for mining careers.

This Passover I’m thinking hard about the holiday’s history of resistance to tyrannical leaders, and the imperative for Jewish people to stand with all oppressed peoples of the world.

I don’t use the “fascist” term often or really ever, as to preserve its meaning, but what the United States Government is embarking on with the El Salvadoran prison camp is simply that. It’s an affront to the rule of law, the Constitution, and centuries of Anglo-American constitutional development.

UPDATE: The government has not, as of 5:03 pm, filed the required daily status report. It missed the deadline. But Garcia’s counsel has filed a motion for the government to show cause as to why it should not be held in contempt: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
