maybe i’m naive but i think it’s kinda doomerism to always be saying this is gonna take decades to undo or you’ll be old or dead when it ends. first it doesn’t matter, plant trees you won’t live to sit in the shade of. second great change is capable of happening very quickly

Yeah man they ain’t coming back. This is going to be one of the biggest foreign policy blunders of my lifetime, and it’s entirely possible that some guy at ICE ordered it not having any clue what he was doing. This is why we used to leave foreign affairs to sensitive nerds.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

Charlie Kirk got the version of America that he wanted, except that he wanted it to happen to your family and not his.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

Japan Post has ceased all mail delivery to the US for packages valued over $100. To get around this, a Japanese denim company tells me they'll ship components to US customers one-by-one — fabric, buttons, rivets, a sewing needle, and thread. You then assemble the jeans at home like IKEA furniture.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

You almost have to appreciate just how beautifully this illustrates the gerontocratic nature of American politics: the Ancient Umbrella is imbued with more experience simply because it existed longer.

Couple things I learned today:
- Seniors are extremely fired up about this
- "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now
- People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA
- We all we got, we all we need

Switch 2 thoughts: the device feels much more premium than I thought, with some weirdness exceptions, everything feels like it had a super solid iteration, free Palestine, and Mario Kart World free roam is pretty fun but not as realized an experience as just doing races.

In the failed state of California in the overrun city of Los Angeles today I drove my mom to the airport, got some coffee with a friend, got the kids from school and worked on some podcast edits. Thank god the United States Military will be sent in to shoot unarmed civilians. This cannot hold.

the people who do not understand that in LA the Mexican flag means “I’m proud to be Chicano,” not “my allegiance is to the current government of Mexico” confuse me

the idea of fingerwagging your way into protest discipline is deeply delusional for a number of reasons, chief among which is that the cops' decisions are among the biggest determinants of how protests ago. it's like being perplexed at people for using umbrellas while ignoring the weather

"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food."

"Hmm."

"But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things."

"Oh, I guess that ..."

"And then we go to war with California."

SCOTUS also needlessly delayed Mr. Abrego Garcia's return by splitting hairs over the difference between "effectuate" and "facilitate." One can be relieved that Abrego Garcia will be back with his family without trumpeting his case as a victory for the rule of law!
So to review:

1. He never should have been deported. The admin admitted that.

2. The admin said he was an MS-13 member and also they couldn’t get him back. They lied.

3. They are now charging him with a crime that they did not mention until literally now.
🚨🚨🚨 Kilmar Abrego Garcia is on his way back to the U.S. from El Salvador to face criminal charges.
