Our Secretary of Defense almost certainly has more threatening/extremist tattoos and has more credibly been accused of sexual assault than almost all of the people being sent to El Salvador. No exaggeration.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

We don’t if they were gang members, only that Trump’s DOJ says they were. But they’ve had no trials. They are “accused.” They are “alleged” to be members of a gang that Trump has named. And now they are vanished. This is an actual nightmare and we should be up in arms.

The theory that Trump wants Putin to win is a straightforward read of his words and actions. It's the alternate interpretation that has gotten increasingly convoluted. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

If there must be doctrine holding that some uses of the federal spending power are unconstitutionally coercive, it would make a lot more sense to apply it to cases like this than "Congress changed the conditions for accepting Medicaid yet again but this time it's unconstitutional"

Why are we f*cking conceding that it would be one state?! Every province a state with 2 senators. Hoist them by their own psycho petard.

First Amendment in 2025: Corporations who don’t have to disclose beneficial ownership including foreign or foreign government ownership, ✅ free speech. Lawful permanent resident married to a US citizen, ❌ free speech if Marco Rubio thinks censoring will win him money from Miriam Adelson in 2028.

Trump and Musk are basically trying to deskill America: 1) kill all white-collar jobs and replace them with AI 2) kill universities 3) use tariffs to turn the U.S. into an economic island manufacturing, oil and ag hub 4) empty the cities 5) push men into manual labor & women back into the kitchen

I’m gonna be a broken record about this. They are using Jews as a tool to advance their fascist agenda This has nothing to do with Jews. This has nothing to do with antisemitism. We do not consent this. We want no part of this.

the guy who got eddie gallagher pardoned appointing eddie gallagher's lawyer to reform the JAGs is a nightmare scenario. gallagher is not a soldier who committed a war crime. he is a serial killer who happened to be a soldier.

Looking forward to seeing how Roberts finds a way to distinguish “states have standing to sue to undo federal student debt relief” and “states dont have standing to sue to force the federal government to continue to run the Department of Education which pays for half of poor schools in every state”

Why are they obsessed with calling everything they don't like a scam? Oh right, every accusation a confession.

JD Vance talking about housing as a supply issue while part of the Tariffs and Construction Worker Deportations admin is basically the whole NatCon shtick writ large: you accurately diagnose the problem, talk eloquently about it’s impacts, then enthusiastically commit yourself to being part of it.

I know this is extremely vulgar idealism, but I do think we should try to aggressively reassert the norm that lying is bad. Not in a "Four Pinnochios" fact-checking kind of way, but in a way that frames this kind of lying as moral degeneracy that is fundamentally corrosive to the human spirit.

I don't take a back seat to anyone on the subject of anti-semitism. Jews are being used here as a fig leaf to advance a broader attack on universities and higher learning. Trump wants to bring Universities to heel and obedience. Jews are just a convenient cudgel here and just as disposable.

The United States government just disappeared a lawful US resident because it didn't like his speech. You should care about this because it shouldn't happen to anyone, but you should also care because it could happen to you. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/09/n...

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.
