The Tompkins County Sheriff did something completely normal; release a person from jail after they finished serving their sentence. But because Trump's ICE had filed a detainer request (which is entirely voluntary) for the man, the Trump DOJ is now threatening a frivolous criminal prosecution.

It really is that simple.

This sick country steers people toward an early death in so many ways. It's disgusting.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

Incredibly depressing that the answer is so obvious

Another embarrassing Cornell Law grad

I wonder if recent developments have made the authors of this piece reconsider the wisdom of letting random entrepreneurs take a “chainsaw” to the government. providenceonline.com/stories/op-e...

There should be an immediate pledge from Democratic Party leadership committing to rehiring everyone purged from this alongside backpay as soon as there’s a Democratic president.

Mind-boggling wreckage. Among the lifesaving programs now disrupted by Elon’s attack on @USAID: phase 1 trials for a possible HIV vaccine.

With USAID targeted, R.I.-based @edesianutrition.bsky.social’s therapeutic food for malnourished children is sitting in warehouses. Trump's administration is laying off thousands at USAID, which funds the N.K. social enterprise that has fed 25m children worldwide www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/04/m...

seeing some posts celebrating the end of USAID as a strike against empire. folks, none of the bad stuff is going away, it'll be funding for refugee camps, medicine, etc

This way of looking at the world is totally incomprehensible to me

There are plenty of great ways to cripple the American empire, but gloating over the starvation of children isn't one of them. More children will die because of this in the following months than Israel has murdered in its entire history

Absolute insanity.

Monstrous www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/h...

Canada and Mexico are our friends and the mad king of our nation has turned on them and is hurting them in our name. We should be furious not just for what he’s doing to us but also to what he’s doing to them.

Extremely embarrassing that this guy graduated from the same law school that I did. Perhaps unsurprisingly, I don’t think he’s ever actually practiced.

tfw you haven’t read Wong Kim Ark but feel entitled to comment anyway

If only there were some way to make housing less scarce and therefore a less attractive investment opportunity.

Can’t wait to see courts explain why this isn’t commandeering.

I am sure this person thinks very highly of her ability to identify propaganda too.

the way people are reacting to tiktok going away makes me think it should have been cruise-missiled five years ago

Now that we don’t have TikTok, how will I learn financial hacks like check kiting?

This is not going to happen.

Tactical urbanism but for causing pedestrian deaths instead of preventing them

Single-stair bills just filed in the Massachusetts legislature – they direct a commission to produce a building code amendment allowing single-stair buildings up to six stories, with $250,000 allocated for study malegislature.gov/Bills/194/SD... malegislature.gov/Bills/194/HD...

I think this says more about this group of TikTok users than it does the “ruling class.”

This is incredible. Genocide? No big deal they have a cool app.
