If the government can pay a foreign state to imprison you and, in so doing, remove you from the protection of US law, the Constitution is worthless.

I'm so used to bar bathrooms with cutesy signs that I had to stop here and ask myself if I was a Mario or a Wario

This man has not always made good calls but it's good to see him doing this.

What you can expect to see in a land that believes life must be earned.

Musk's DOGE goons physically dragged a high-ranking Social Security executive from his desk for not going along with their plan to list more than 6,000 migrants as dead despite being alive. www.thedailybeast.com/doge-goons-p...

Seems like this is extremely popular but then I’m not a well paid centrist Dem consultant responsible for a string of Pyrrhic victories and embarrassing defeats

It looks like someone has hacked a crosswalk button in Palo Alto to deliver at least two different messages in the voice of Elon Musk. (They are not complimentary)

William Gibson curled up on a floor somewhere groaning, "NOBODY IN MY WORLDS IS HAPPY!"

us government went from telling miners “learn to code” to telling coders “learn to mine” in less than ten years

I would like to point out that the executive branch claiming the power to mete out life/death sentences seems like a separation of powers issue as well

If you get a bad visual — Dukakis, Dean, this — it's over. If multiple women accuse you of sexual harassment, you've still got a shot. A particular cadre of loyal Dems will defend you to the hilt.

Is Maggie watching a) tennis or b) me eat raspberries (It's b)

We are probably looking at a potentially era-defining round trip to SCOTUS, but this is wordsmithed. Every single U.S. federal prisoner is detained "pursuant to" the sovereign, domestic authority of the U.S. and would be so even if being held at the request of another sovereign.

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

AOC: And his whole presidency began with launching tools for bribery, meme coins to fleece working people and move around money in the dark, extortion settlements from media companies and law firms who gladly pay them

As we all can see, affirmative action for whiteness exists in the "Make America Hot Again" space, too

Even to the extent that she was there on Michigan's behalf, what is it going to take to convince people normal politics is over? If it's not undesirables who haven't done anything being sent to a gulag or people getting arrested for their opinions, what will it take? What would Trump have to do?

It remains amazing how Trump being moderately popular in Nov 24 - Jan 25 broke people's brains up and down the political spectrum, making them think that things were somehow different from the first time and inevitable thermostatic unpopularity would simply not happen.

I guess we're never going to get any updates on that post-Dobbs Republican turn to maternal and child healthcare that was totally going to happen because American pro-lifers sincerely support those policies huh

Trump just denied North Carolina’s request for FEMA relief from Hurricane Helene, calling it “unwarranted.”

Fuck Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/w...

AS IT WAS FORETOLD BY THIS VERY ACCOUNT, WHICH HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS OF ASSESSING TARIFFS WHATSOEVER, ONLY THAT THERE *ARE* TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

Further attacks on the legal profession. As lawyers we participate in professional bar associations for training. US Justice Dept bars its attorneys from participating in American Bar Association events www.reuters.com/legal/us-jus...

LFG!!!!

I've been informed that the most gleeful and proud bullies in the world are very temporarily and very specifically concerned about civility today.

This is Bob. He has appointed himself flooring supervisor, due to the fact that he is the closest to it. 12/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (FB: Grace Chambers)

downstairs neighbors under window no. 1 have a bird feeder on their high-fenced patio that is getting amazing traffic. downstairs neighbors under window no. 2 have their orange cat out in their high-fenced patio—he cannot see the birds but knows they’re there. Only we can see the unfurling crisis.

There is in fact no way to make a case for a moral or political obligation to have children that does not degrade the status and dignity of women by claiming ownership their bodies as instruments for collective use.

lord willing we will one day prosecute miller for crimes against humanity

some of the stuff like greenland people can say they didn’t vote for. but they very much voted for tariffs and mass deportations. i have a bottomless well of contempt for people who chose this

this is quite the photo and caption www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/u...

The mainstream press viewpoint is that no one mainstream is racist, and therefore, as ideas approach the mainstream, they become less racist

This is happening in spite of the fact that the president is not in charge of the Smithsonian. It's not an executive branch government agency, rather it's chartered by Congress and under a board of regents created by statute, none of whom are even appointed by the president.
