I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

On Social Security Day of Action, our team was back in court to keep DOGE’s hands off of your private social security information. This comes after multiple news reports that indicate DOGE may be violating a federal court order and improperly accessing and sharing information.

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

For love of country, of liberty, and of the library, I solemnly propose these articles of impeachment for President Donald John Trump, this day April 14, 2025.

This has been depressing to watch for decades, and I don't know if we can ever fix it. If maintaining your existing beliefs is always more important than ever being proven to be wrong, why would you support the sciences and the chance you may need to change your beliefs to reflect observed reality?

WATCH: Elephants at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park react to Monday's 5.2 magnitude earthquake that shook San Diego County. The elephants formed an "alert circle" meant to protect the young and the entire herd from any threats, according to the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance.

As someone who knows how to read, I can tell you with certainty the Supreme Court did not say that. The White House admitted it was an "administrative error" to deport Abrego Garcia and the Supreme Court called on the government to facilitate his return.

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

The great thing about fighting back against this stuff is that if you end up losing anyway you get the same outcome you’d have gotten from complying but you don’t have to fucking hate yourself too.

Deporting America citizens to a foreign gulag seems…dictatory.

Many native-born American immigration lawyers have received official letters from the government demanding that they self-deport. Apparently DHS used a list of aliens including many who listed their attorneys’ contact info by way of a care-of address. The country’s in the very best of hands.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring all removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

There’s been no doubt where this was headed. Trump repeatedly said he intended to send Americans to foreign prisons. Justice Sotomayor got that. The conservatives on the Court have no excuse, but they acted like they expected Trump to fall in line & obey, when all evidence was to the contrary.

This was posted hours AFTER the suspect was in custody. It sows helplessness by claiming to be wildly ignorant EVEN that PA has its own cops, much less that they IDed the attack in real time. Stop making yourselves impotent to sell a grift.

The turmoil and deprivation of growing up in poverty dramatically increases the chances a child will eventually fall behind in school, struggle in the adult workplace or—in the worst cases—end up in the criminal justice system. Trump will make it worse.

The attempt to burn down the Pennsylvania Governor's mansion is pretty clearly an assassination attempt, and it's likely an antisemitic hate crime. It should be referred to that way by political media.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.
