So you can take over Greenland and Canada but can’t send a plane to pick up someone you are paying another country to hold for a year? Weird take on sovereignty.

When ICE agents descended upon 19-year-old Merwil Guttiérez in New York City, they realized he was not the intended target of their operation — but they arrested the boy anyway. Merwil was, in fact, in the United States legally — from Venezuela, seeking asylum. Merwil’s father, Wilmer Guttiérez,…

They saw the iceberg, stayed on deck, and lit cigars to watch the ship sink the “others.” Woopsie.

Yeah, imagine having a direct democracy.

DOOCY: Deporting American citizens to Central American prisons -- is it legal? LEAVITT: Well, it's another question that the president has raised. It's a legal question that the president is looking into.

Leavitt: "Abrego Garcia was a foreign terrorist. He is an MS-13 gang member. He was engaged in human trafficking." (The White House hasn't provided evidence for any of these claims ... )

Damn right!

And Americans paid HIM for this weekend trip including the cost of housing secret service at his resort. It’s a grift.

Still the best alliance in hiphop. #hiphopsky #blackstar youtu.be/WQ6N71xt6_E?...

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

Time to start impeachment proceedings. If the Supreme Court doesn’t matter, we do not have a working democracy. If we cozy up to an El Salvadoran thug, what are we?

This is it. We’ve abandoned Europe and our allies for a Third World tinpot dictator.

We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025. Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.

The constitutional crisis is here. The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador. youtu.be/HGTIELDTHOo?...

Make sense of this mess: We’re shunning skilled immigrants —while dumbing down schools by banning books & defunding education. And the grand plan for the workplace is a bro-club of white men hoarding power. So when does “greatness” kick in? Because all I’m seeing is regression wrapped in a flag.

Who else SUPPORTS Senator Van Hollen?! 🤚

Watch as a herd of elephants at the San Diego Zoo protect their calves, Mkhaya and Zuli, during a 5.2-magnitude earthquake that shook Southern California. The animals repeated the behavior during an aftershock, but went back to their daily routines when the situation seemed safe. nyti.ms/3Eo2uW8

Congrats to photographer @ninaber.bsky.social, who just won a Guggenheim fellowship (@guggfellows.bsky.social)! We collaborated on this award-winning piece, part of her project on the Florida reform school that became "Nickel" in @colsonwhitehead.com's "Nickel Boys." Click below for photos & more.

"The security of the world is at stake." Well worth watching President Zelenskyy's interview on 60 Minutes www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine...

Friends! It’s pouring with rain this morning, so it’s a pleasure to recall what we did yesterday - all of us in the Garden together, enjoying the fact that the Cherry Blossom is now in full bloom! We love it! 🌸 Whenever Mum films the Kittens in the Catio, they try to grab her - what’s that about? 😹

Sanders: A woman is walking down the street, a car stops, and these guys — in plain clothes and masks — grab her, throw her into the car, and take off. That happened in Vermont today. That’s the kind of thing that happens in dictatorships, not in a democracy.

Come watch my therapy appointment.

86% of Black voters backed Kamala Harris in November, and we’re on the front lines leading up to the election. So no, nobody should be in the business of questioning our political resolve.

“Weeks after the DeSantis administration steered $10 million from a Medicaid settlement to a charity spearheaded by the first lady, the Hope Florida Foundation sent $5 million apiece to two separate organizations that gave millions to a political committee waging an anti-marijuana campaign”

China really upping their trolling game since the tariffs.

We haven’t reached bottom yet. Because there is no bottom to his moral depravity.

At least one US president cares to denounce this attack.

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

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

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

There we go. Support this man.

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.

Who is going to do something? This is Kim Jong-Un shit.

ROSIE: “.. There is a bull market all right, and it is in mixed messaging. And the action in the markets this past week shows that investors are nothing short of desperate for any good news, even if it means ‘policy on the fly’ ..” www.earlymorningwithdave.com/p/more-carve...

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

I stand 5'11". Years ago, nazi trolls started circulating a rumor that I was a "short person" because nazis are eugenicists who are obsessed with physical characteristics. So now, Google says I'm 5'7". Never tell me to ignore what racists say online. When you do that, perception becomes reality.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

It took #SophieFromRomania and her friend Juno some time to warm up, but then there was lots of fun in our back garden

Very interesting to explore @harvard.edu 's new home page www.harvard.edu
