So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

Isn't this racism?

One thing that is fairly clear at this point is that the entire point of whisking people out of the country with no due process in defiance of a judge's orders to put them into a foreign gulag *was so they could produce fascist content*.

Lewelyn Dixon immigrated from the Philippines to Hawaii 50 years ago. She worked as a lab technician at the University of Washington. But on a trip returning from the Phillipines, ICE detained her. Her family hasn't been told where she is being held. www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2025/03/22/i...

Trump "fired 17 inspectors general…If the DOGE project were even remotely sincere, Trump would be adding & empowering more IGs, not firing them…the presence of truly independent watchdogs is a threat to the Trumpist project, which is permitting agencies to be used to reward friends & punish foes.”

Due process is at the very heart of the legal system. Without due process we have nothing. I pray that Judge Boasberg's actions will be upheld.

Once we get rid of due process for one group, it will be open season on us all.

Also why it is important for each of us to express our viewpoints as real people and not abstract Soros puppets.

These get confused with one another. Journalism is a social practice: reporting the news. The Media is the attention business. The product is audiences. The Press is an institution that endures over time as people come in and out. The news industry is a seller of information with recency value.

If Mahmoud Khalil is a national security problem, then why is the FBI not in charge? How screwed are we if ICE is doing national security now?

How much of what is happening with Mahmoud Khalil is a result of lawyer fail either because there aren't enough in the administration or because they don't know when they need one?

If Musk thinks Social Security is an entitlement, then what is his viewpoint on the VA? Does he understand benefits for service provided or for actual monetary contributions? What kinds of profound misconceptions drive his actions?

Can’t emphasize this enough. The administration needs to manufacture villains in order to show they are being punished. When they’ve depleted the current supply, they’ll make new ones.

The United States government just disappeared a lawful US resident because it didn't like his speech. You should care about this because it shouldn't happen to anyone, but you should also care because it could happen to you. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/09/n...

MAGA 2017: "Trump-Russia is a hoax and a slur." MAGA 2025: "Trump-Russia is the basis for our foreign policy and anybody who doesn't agree should be primaried out of the party."
