Don't overlook this: Trump is leaving Abrego Garcia to rot in a foreign gulag even though the admin can always bring him back and *retry him for deportation in a lawful way.* That they won't do this shows their case against him is nonsense. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1939...

"They're going to show up at schools to round up kids," I said four months ago to my partner, feeling like I sounded utterly deranged. Now it's in our backyard.

Glad to see we’re addressing the root cause of all of this: Luther’s heresy

This is very bad and why it's so important for people of good faith to speak out. Resistance to authoritarianism is a coordination game.

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

I get that you are frustrated at the Trump administration. They're doing awful shit. But I have gone through about a thousand times how pointless and harmful it is to presume they won't comply with court orders. NO! If they don't, they must be held accountable, but don't give in preemptively.

How is this not the posture of every country in the world, now that Trump has made it abundantly clear — again and again — that he can’t endure pain?

Again, just terrible messaging by Whitmer on an issue where the American people are on Democrats' side on this.

I have a strange worry, that the signals sent by the markets won't be strong enough _now_ to scare us out of this path, or to turn enough Republican leaders. Instead, the markets will send those signals later, to a slowly and irreversibly boiling frog.

"You haven't built shit" has become Elon's constant rejoinder on Twitter (I know this because I see the screenshots over here). It's pretty disgusting. First, _that_ he ended up the object of worship of tech leadership is an object lesson in how poor judgment can infect even the smartest people.

In "Lucy", Luc Besson tells us that if we use 70% of our brains' capacity, we can shoot light rays out of our mouths, but only if we take a lot of drugs.

Just to follow up on what @sarahebond.bsky.social said, the idea that in *50BC* Rome failed to solve a population decline and that led to the collapse of their civilization is so unfathomably historically illiterate it's hard to even know where to begin

Godammit, I legitimately can't complain about this, and the man can actually say he's taken part in planting a tree. Dammit.
