they know there's going to be an apocalypse for trucking jobs due to tariffs so they're trying to stem the political damage by making it so the layoffs disproportionately affect non-english speaking truckers

POTUS is literally locking up judges that disagree with him. The administration running this country is an echo chamber. Hanging around chatting up people you agree with isn't an echo chamber it's what friends literally do all the time but you wouldn't know that if you're a friendless turd

I feel like I’m losing my mind with the lack of wall to wall coverage on disappearing children with cancer i keep saying this, but it’s not 5% of the uproar that came from Biden’s debate. “kids peeing in litter boxes”, a thing that never happened, got orders of magnitude more coverage.

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

I will say it again — DEI has always polled well and the idea that it's broadly upopular is wholly the invention of pundits nursing their own grievances and projecting them onto an imagined average American. Many such cases.

Dem leaders and operatives saying “focus on pocketbook issues,” completely miss that due process is a pocketbook issue. Tourists, students, investors, citizens all depend on rule of law. Just because lawlessness is state-sponsored, doesn’t mean it ain’t crime, and crime is bad for the economy.

This line is catching on among the conservative influencers: unless SCOTUS backs down, Trump will be forced to suspend the constitution and declare the US a dictatorship, and it'll be all their fault.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

This is, weirdly, the most purely fascist shit anyone in the administration has said so far - Your health is an asset of the fatherland - Illness is a failure or a moral failing - You have a duty to maintain your health - Healthcare is not a right, it's a finite resource - Die for the fatherland

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

HOLY SHIT. You need to read this in its entirety. Way too much to even begin to summarize but it's really, REALLY bad. It's just one agency, NLRB, but it's likely happening at others. We are under attack, seemingly from the inside. What's happening here should put folks in prison

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing. "That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done." "That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."

I think one thing chatGPT's invention has revealed is how many people - including some very important people in society - find just basic reading and writing to be laborious and cumbersome to perform, and how oddly closely that type of strained literacy correlates with having other shitty opinions.

We are at a dangerous, dangerous moment in US history, where the President of the United States is threatening to send US citizens to be imprisoned by a foreign ally, and the foreign ally is saying it won't respect an US court orders to release people that it's holding.

As Mark says, don't read too much into the stay. But this is sort of it. If SCOTUS agrees the government can disappear you to a Salvadorian labor camp, and there's no legal recourse even if you're innocent because of Article II, then none of your other rights mean a damn thing.
