not enough said about how, by turning the national government against states on the basis of ordinary political disagreement, trump is undermining the idea that the union is worthwhile. www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p...

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

The Schadenfreude goes beyond Musk. Silicon Valley purportedly broke for Trump because the Dems hurt their feelings by trying to rein them in. They'll now learn why it's better to be regulated by a govt of laws than crushed by a govt of pique.

It would be very convenient for Trump to destroy Elon for us.

So to review: 1. He never should have been deported. The admin admitted that. 2. The admin said he was an MS-13 member and also they couldn’t get him back. They lied. 3. They are now charging him with a crime that they did not mention until literally now.

Please note that of all the shit they claimed he did, and they claimed a LOT of bullshit, they're not charging him with any of it.

This is a vital truth. They're the losers, not us. Yes, they've done a lot of damage, but they've lost a lot more often than they've won and they're losing losers who will continue to lose and lose and lose.

This is a fantastic piece, to which I would add: the Trump admin is also making it much harder to assess how they are changing what the public sector looks like open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

One thing I keep thinking of is that Republican policies are making it harder for women to live safe, prosperous, dignified, and independent lives—and that Trump’s cuts have targeted the bodies whose work would track women’s disappearance from the public sphere and make it quantifiable.

Aw, poor babies. I've been doxed and I'm not even trying to kidnap people from their homes to send them to their deaths or worse, I'm just a tranny. If ICE ghouls don't want to be targeted or doxed, they have a MUCH easier way to make that stop.

This isn't a stalled gender revolution. It's a gender counter-revolution. And the most troubling part is that it's younger men and boys the leading charge. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/o...

What Mearsheimer gets consistently wrong about Europe (as opposed to what he gets wrong just when he's trying to be a contrarian public intellectual) actually exposes a great deal of what's wrong with Realism generally. His 'Tragedy of Great Power Politics', for example...

🧵It’s easy to get lost in the trap of thinking that the Carney government’s violences are not as severe as Trump’s. But the structure of what he’s doing is the same. His surveillance bill and his nation-building projects are conditionalizing and limiting the way anyone gets to exist in Canada.

what sucks about "Abundance" discourse is that the movement is a trojan horse - a way to smuggle bad ideas about tech, anti-labor, crypto etc into Dem politics by wrapping them inside normal and fine ideas about housing, green energy, transit etc.

When Trump encounters a demographic he doesn’t care for, he “disappears” them–in many cases, the very record of their existence. Meet America’s new “missing persons," and the govt campaign to delete statistical evidence of anyone who doesn't fit Trump’s idea of our new golden age. w/ @ashendruk.com

Seeing people who refer to SAG or any other labour union as a "mafia" or "bullies" doesnt just strike me as the opinions I'd expect a child to have, but a fundamental depressing misunderstanding of how unions actually function. They exist to give power to people who do not have any individually.

More info: Attorneys are saying that if someone’s case is dismissed they should immediately put on the record to reserve an appeal and request a stay while filing appeal. If someone has an attorney their attorney can help them pay the filing payment electronically and not in person.
