If these abductions do not push every single one of you to question the existence of immigrant "detention" centers and the conditions of ALL prisons and jails, then you are really doing life wrong. Conditions in detention, jails, and prisons in the U.S. ARE TERRIBLE. They are awful every single day.

Your friendly reminder that it is literally a federal felony punishable by up to five years in prison for the President, Vice President, or any employee of the White House to directly or indirectly ask the IRS to open an investigation into any specific taxpayer.

BREAKING: We're suing to block a new Utah law that allows courts to strip people with disabilities of their civil rights without due process. This law would allow a guardian to isolate the disabled person from their loved ones. Guardianships should be made less restrictive, not more.

Let me add something on the new Harvard letter story. The Times portrays it as they'd been negotiating in a kind of inconclusive and then Harvard was shocked at the extremity when it arrived. I had heard a subtly but significantly different version of events. As it was conveyed to me the ...

The smartest thing Bluesky can do right now. I'll die on the hill that the main appeal of a microblogging service (as opposed to Insta, Vine etc) is getting your news, confirmed and quickly. That Twitter abandoned this makes it a huge lane for Bluesky to drive into.

I know a lot of US citizens only care about US citizens, so I'll just go ahead and point out: when ICE arrests you, the due process would be the point where you prove you can't be deported because you're a US citizen. Without it, there's nothing stopping them from sending you to CECOT forever.

What Americans need to come to terms with is the death of the Republican Party as a platform. Americans haven’t experienced such a dissolution over moral political philosophy since the Whigs. The difference here is the electoral grip of the party masquerading as Republicans is due to gerrymandering.
