Happy public domain day to all who celebrate!

We have some fabulous new works in the public domain, including As I Lay Dying, Betty Boop, Soup to Nuts, and I Got Rhythm. Though hopefully Betty doesn’t get the crazed murderer treatment Pooh received.

The US government has deported a US citizen with a Maryland birth certificate they claim is fake.

This goes way beyond even denaturalizing an immigrant citizen. This person was born here.
"Her family has now been told she has been deported, despite US District Judge Brendan Hurson ruling Thursday that she could not be deported pending a hearing...attorneys said Monday that they have...confirm[ed] with the hospital she was born in Maryland." https://bit.ly/3MMdJvz

NEW — Based on the aired ‘60 Minutes’ CECOT segment, several of Bari Weiss’s stated reasons to stop the story are inaccurate.

She said the segment did not present the admin’s argument for deporting people to CECOT. It does.

She said the segment did not detail deportee criminal histories. It does.
New: Months before Bari Weiss pulled the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, her outlet The Free Press was joking about the megaprison Trump has lawlessly deported people to.

"The hottest campaign spot…the new Jeffrey Epstein jet…the place to see and be seen."

It's clear from the article that ICE is *miserable* here. They're freezing their asses off and being harassed everywhere they go. Property managers aren't allowing them access to rental properties and people know their rights and aren't letting them in.
