On Human Rights Violations Day, we must confront the horror of U.S. deportees being sent to El Salvador's CECOT prison—a facility infamous for overcrowding, torture, and 23.5-hour daily confinement. This is state-sponsored cruelty masquerading as justice. Humanity demands better.

VP JD Vance opposed the U.S. strikes on Houthis

Basically said it was just theatrics, propaganda and NOT aligned with administration policy

Boys like Hegseth using their guns because they can
American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Bezos destroying the post opinion pages is just another reminder: Conservatives think free speech is when they can say what they want and when you can say what they want.

After Bezos squelched the presidential endorsement and the editorial cartoonist’s resignation over the demise of her cartoon criticizing him, I didn’t think I could be more disappointed in the Post. Bezos’ ownership and interference is a disaster for democracy.
