It’s weird to live in a time when basic principles like cruelty is wrong, cheating is empty & the idea that curiosity, generosity, originality, the satisfaction of earned accomplishments & loving intimacy are the center of a good life feel like countercultural concepts

Trump poses as the Pope in full holy garments and gets a pass.

Sure, Trump trashed a booming economy. But on the bright side, at least we turned our allies against us, sold out the people of Ukraine, eliminated the rule of law, became a fascist police state, and destroyed the government services from the weather service to the national parks to Social Security.

Where we are is the inevitable result of giving undue deference to "sincerely held beliefs."
It actually does not matter if your beliefs are sincerely held or not. If your sincerely held belief is that certain human beings are less than others, you suck, no matter how sincerely you believe it.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

i'm watching a group of conservative law professors insist that there is a grand debate over birthright citizenship that somehow escaped generations of scholarship and only popped into existence after a right-wing president announced an effort to nullify the 14th amendment.

so no, I don't think "they'll never trust us again" is really the biggest problem. It's more that Americans are going to have to engage in the foreign policy equivalent of pissing into a cup to get a job

The claim that the U.S. can’t get him back is 1) false and 2) obviously a pretext for their deliberate attempt to ignore the Due process clauses of the 5th and 14th Amendments. It’s the sort of transparent deception this SCOTUS majority would see through if it came from a Democratic president.
