Erik Prince is a Nazi, as are Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, Pat Bondi, Kristi Noem, and other members of the Trump regime. Prince is lobbying to be put in charge of the construction of five more CECOT-like facilities. If not stopped, they will eventually become death camps for Americans.

Shout out to everyone who made the old “if we do it then nothing can stop Republicans from doing it” as if the Republicans are stopped by precedent in any way
Pretty wild to me how many pundits and academics treated Republican opposition to the notion of Supreme Court expansion during the Biden administration as a serious, principled stance, as opposed to a position Republicans would obviously abandon the moment it became convenient
Republicans Love Supreme Court Expansion When It Gets Them What They Want
When it comes to state supreme courts, Republican politicians have been happy to add (or subtract) justices as they see fit.

Column | In Gaza, an ‘apocalyptic wasteland’ foretold
Seen two years later, a suppressed U.S cable warning of a “wasteland” in northern Gaza, as reported by Reuters, is a small footnote of history.

The @nytimes.com coverage of France's Grok investigation casts it as part of a conflict between U.S. & European speech rules. That's true only if you buy Elon's version.

Three rules in FBI firearm training:
1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

There's a prominent Republican congressman who met his current wife when she was in high school and he was in his 40s, and it's just treated like no big deal by his caucus.

Did you know that during the collapse of the Soviet Union, its treasury was looted of billions? The funny part is, those Soviets who ran off with the money all somehow ended up in Israel and New York. Some even bailed out a certain someone when his casinos were failing.

I am going to keep hammering what I see as the dichotomy between offense and defense in how people are confronting ICE here. The offensive aspects (e.g. tracking or observing ICE or doing rapid response) are much less like traditional organizing, whereas the defensive aspects (e.g. mutual aid) are.
