It is absolutely right that we do not need Greenland (or Canada) for natsec reasons because they are already close NATO allies. So the only rationale to turn the US into an aggressor in our own hemisphere is if you don’t plan on NATO being a US alliance in the future.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.

I think we need to be prepared to fight in the streets. If we see this happening, yell like there's a baby trapped in a burning building. They're operating like the SS, so we have to get loud. We're socialized not to make a scene, not to argue. We need to recall how to scream.

If the government has good reasons to deport or jail certain people, then due process is no obstacle. That’s why any opposition to due process for the deported and jailed should immediately warn you that they do not have good reasons.

ten years ago i was watching doug reruns with sam altman, like we often did together. i said it was a tragedy that doug funnie only had one outfit, and that someone should develop a program that would come up with different-colored vests for him to wear. "wait here," sam said. i never saw him again

“They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words.[…] They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade[…]but to intimidate and disconcert.”

Trump’s Gestapo needs five people to arrest an itty-bitty female college student I didn’t see any identifying markers/badges All of the agents cover their faces so we can’t find out who they are In other countries, they would call this “the secret police”

Absolutely horrifying. This is Gestapo behavior, right here in the USA. Where are Democrats demanding this be stopped?

So, wait a second. You mean to tell me they’ve been able to just have a next-day hearing in the Senate about this administration this whole time? And this is the first thing that prompted them to do so? I thought they had no power or leverage??

“This all goes to the fundamental point Trump has never been able to accept: that the U.S. government is the property of the American people and it persists over time with individual officeholders merely temporary occupants charged with administering an entity they don’t own or possess.”

Members of the general public tracked these flights on public websites. At bottom, there’s no actual secret at stake; it is solely a contest of wills between the branches, conducted entirely in bad faith by the executive.

One of the things that's really hobbling older liberal leadership, Bernie included, is this reflex they have to show broad mindedness by using a kind of corporate version of Rogerian argument, where you always begin by acknowledging common ground or points of agreement you share with your opponent

Y’all. I started a (political) book club with some friends. We had our first meeting last night and let me tell ya—I felt so much better afterwards and into today even. Getting together with like-minded people to read and discuss and challenge one another is life-giving. Highly recommended.

As weird as it may sound, I continue to find history to be a comfort lately. The specifics of historical events are always “unprecedented” in their own way, but the broad outlines, the themes, the tactics of the evil, rhyme so much more than I think most people know.

Tonight an unbelievable 34,000 people gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
