If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next? This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov

Really enjoyed writing this piece and venting my frustrations about those who were outraged by woke m&Ms, trigger warnings etc and have had little to say about students being kidnapped for speech & thought crimes.

This felt like a call to make my own calls. I spoke w/ a staffer in @durbin.senate.gov's office & left a msg w/ @duckworth.senate.gov. I also got choked up (read: full-on cried) +rambly but this ⬇️ is a thing we need to say & they need to hear & maybe they need to hear our emotion too. 202-224-3121

I don't know that we're ever going to come fully to terms with how preposterous all of this was. 30 "disinvitation incidents" out of all the speaking events that take place in a given year in a country with nearly 4,000 degree granting institutions — this whole thing was a farce.

I make fun of Mona Charen all the time, so I hope it's more meaningful when I say, Look, even Mona Charen gets it. We are in danger and even American citizens have reason to fear traveling abroad at this point. That is, if they intend to come back home.

Seems like an awkward fact for Yglesias that more people are beginning to just come out and say they're racist. But for all his dismissal of Ibram Kendi, he could really stand to spend some time with the theory that racist ideas evolve. They adapt to new social circumstances.

While I wasn't working on my case for woke liberal socialism, I stopped to gush about how much I like Ayn Rand on @aaronrosspowell.com's show. This conversation was a lot of fun!

This is a great review of Moyn, especially this line: "The fact that thehuman rights movement developed and gained widespread moral admiration through the same decades when the Holocaust was a living memory and Communist rule in the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc was a live fact suggests that/

i'm watching a group of conservative law professors insist that there is a grand debate over birthright citizenship that somehow escaped generations of scholarship and only popped into existence after a right-wing president announced an effort to nullify the 14th amendment.

When I reported a long 2021 piece about Cuomo, a thing that many people who worked for him for years told me about (besides the corruption, incompetence & cruel domination tactics) was that he & those in his senior circles JUST DIDN'T CARE about policy, or about actually getting anything done.

This was a fun episode about how all these right-wing guys, like Elon Musk, who fancy themselves heroes out of an Ayn Rand novel would've been absolutely hated by Rand herself. With @liberalcurrents.com's @paulcrider.liberalcurrents.com. www.aaronrosspowell.com/p/ayn-rand-w...

I doubt that anyone from America who goes into CECOT will ever come out. And this is by design. If indefinite imprisonment with no prospect of release imposed by fiat without due process isn’t the definition of a gulag, then I don’t know what is.

No one should be above the law, most especially the President. Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional. They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

It's easy to be cynical about this kind of thing, but this is possible. And some "Have you no decency, sir?" moves like this are the only possibilities for getting through this without bloodshed. Call your Republican electeds and beg them to caucus with Democrats to restore the Constitution.

The ball is in John Roberts' court once again. Is he delusional, scared, or clever? Possibilities @jvl.bsk.social doesn't mention is coordination with the rest of the federal bench to obstruct Trump and communication with Congress. This assumes Roberts isn't just on board with Dictator Trump.

This is an extremely important point. The more every institutions with legal and financial resources fights back, the more it slows everything down. And the best we can hope for at this point seems to be slowing things down.
