6 weeks ago today, planes flew a few hundred people to El Salvador, where they’re being held at CECOT — a place from which Salvadoran officials brag no one is ever released — at US expense. Their continued detention there is our continued shame.

Big news out of Louisiana! A local judge has overturned the conviction of Chris Duncan, who has spent 26 years on death row claiming his innocence. Tragic context: Roughly 80% of people on Louisiana's death row have been exonerated... and this conviction hinged on a discredited pair of doctors.

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed. He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

“Miller has made no secret of the fact that he comes from liberal roots. According to a 2016 Politico profile, his conservative awakening came after reading a copy of National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre’s 1994 book, Guns, Crime, and Freedom.”

Why are we deporting Latino U.S. citizen 2 year olds and on the then telling (& paying) white people to have more babies? Of course, this administration believes the Great Replacement Theory (people who believe that white European descendants are being replaced by non-white immigrants). It is Racism

Man, I hadn’t thought about this but this is the Tim Tebow problem. Teams couldn’t even keep him on the roster as a package/gadget guy because every media member looked for the first sign of trouble to justify starting a guy who completed 48% of his passes.

This is (one of many reasons) why fascism and misogyny go hand in hand. When women are framed as "naturally" caring and compassionate, their presence can be used to soften what might otherwise read as disgustingly callous harm.
