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.
stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation.

-You cannot legally deport people without due process.

-You cannot legally deport citizens.

-They are defining down deportation to break the law.
Leavitt confirmed that the WH is working on deporting US citizens to El Salvador

@maddow.msnbc.com re: DOL paying DOGE 1.3M for 4 guys; that's an awful lot like when China was shooting a dissident and charging the family for the bullet.

the first fatal commercial plane crash in 16 years happened just days after Trump froze hiring of air traffic controllers that were already stretched thin

@velshi.bsky.social hi Ali. Here's part of your answer. The helicopter was restricted at or below 200', but he climbed to 350'. See post with diagram.

Nicole Wallace on Deadline White House #MSNBC had Brian Williams and Steve Schmidt on. Both fantastic, compelling, lengthy, and well informed. More of this, please, especially bring back Brian Williams. We need him.

This is still my advice: Become a writer anyway. Fuck it, do it, it won't save you, but it's still a beautiful dream to write novels and short stories and poems and mingle with other dreamers and make art and laugh in the face of death. And writing is constant death. Live más.

Netflix keeps crashing. I don't think they anticipated the demand for this live feed.

Trying to watch this boxing night on Netflix. It's more interesting than I remember. The first fight, kind of meh, but the 2nd card was excellent and valiant. So now we'll see how the women do. I've never seen women fight.

As a boomer, I had to look up Jake Paul. What a douche. But Tyson is crap.

So, let's talk about the election for a minute. I'm terribly disappointed in the results. How can more than half this country prefer a felon and rapist who screwed up COVID (and not incidentally, killed my mother) over an incredibly well-spoken woman of color? Are my fam/neibs really that shallow?

Think I'll talk about 20th century vets. We all know to thank them for their service. Many of us cherish their sacrifices, and remember them in gratitude.

But something happened last month to me that really called them to mind. I was put into a coma and intubated for 5 days. Necrotic fascitis.
