SPOILER ALERT: In the sci-fi show Andor, it was a massive surprise intended to horrify and shock viewers when they learned that the show's supermax actually lets no one out alive—no matter their offense or sentence. That's what CECOT—the Trump-Bukele joint—_already is_. So... everybody get it now?

I agree -- but the older I get the more I fee like these three are just different experiences/cravings. Detroit's got that amazing crust and focaccia style bread... a slice of NY pepperoni at the end of the night can't be beat... and Chicago's monstrosities are... occasionally a thing you might want

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

I know it's useless to say this, but the patient was perfectly healthy. This was like performing a quadruple bypass on a patient with no heart problems.

This is what tyranny looks like: a friend requesting I install Signal because they've been warned that the Feds may be interested in their private data. This is truly Stalinist/dictator times. We are less free today than we were 3 months ago.

From what I can tell, when the economy is good, rich people feel great. And when the economy is bad, rich people pretend to be struggling.

Rep. Raskin is being a bit cheeky here, but it echoes an insightful point from @timothysnyder.bsky.social's "On Freedom": freedom should be freedom *for* something and not *from* something. Most simply: freedom to go about one's day w/o the threat of tyranny.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.
