Oh my god you want me to find "evidence" before putting someone in jail? Every time?? Do you have any idea how long that would take

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

Ok so Trump is defying a 9-0 Supreme Court decision, as we all warned he would. What's the plan?

I don’t really give a shit how much of a conservative this makes me sound like, but the United States has suffered an existential collapse in the civic virtue of our citizens necessary to sustain a liberal democracy.

You simply can't focus on "kitchen table issues" any more when the president, on live audio, announced his intention to vanish tens of thousands of US citizens to El Salvador and requested that the president of El Salvador build several more mega prisons to house them. This is it. Moment of truth.

Also, let's be clear: Having a criminal record also doesn't mean you should be deported to a torture camp in another country and effectively sentenced to death. Because everybody has basic rights, and because dictatorships will always redefine what "criminality" means.

You really see the incentive trap with the Bukele stuff; this is objectively extremely important, from the standpoint of liberal democracy it is one of the worst things the administration is doing, and politically there is essentially no serious constituency for loudly opposing it. Bad IMO!

One of the problems we have in both reality's intellectuals and in fiction is that it's always more interesting, special, and select to be counterintuitively virtuous than it is to just be virtuous. In Magic terms, being W is seen as Basic Bitch territory, while being B But Good has social cache.

Humans are very weird and mostly do things because the people around them do them. This is true for me and you and everyone. Interpreting bland, default human weirdnesses as repugnant, intentional immoralities will 100% make you miserable while alienating people from your ideas.

Republicans in Congress are the people with the actual power to stop him on a short-term basis. If they don't, they are essentially just as complicit; they are saying a fascist dictatorship is fine with them. Don't care about "well, hang on a sec with these tariffs" bills. Impeach him or nothing.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.
