Alleging Israel has committed ‘war crimes’ suggests a recognizable event: that there is a war happening, and there are some crimes in it. Gaza is different.

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.
😲 Guys, Avelo painted their ICE jets all white! The tail number matches. How pathetic is that? 👀

As the economist Dani Rodrik puts it, “Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.”
“It turns out nativism is one hell of a drug. The Trump administration has ingested it in a big way, and it’s driving its dealers and users in the administration into a fanatical frenzy of destructive activity. And much of the country is just watching it happen.”

Had this exact thought. Terrible article.
Hey NY Times--
It is still a "fringe theory" -- every court has rejected it.
There is still a "broad consensus" -- John Eastman is a disgraced lawyer under indictment.
The only thing that has changed is the Times.

The overuse of executive orders reflects a systemic erosion of democratic process. Unilateral decrees replace legislative debate and undermine the balance of powers at the heart of constitutional governance.

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

“The only weapons we have are our bodies, and we need to tuck them in places so the wheels don’t turn.”
Van Hollen’s trip to El Salvador is a form of embodied protest and helped put Trump’s illegal deportation of Abrego Gracia on the front page of the NYT two days in a row.
As Bayard Rustin once said, “The only weapons we have are our bodies, and we need to tuck them in places so wheels don't turn.”

I’m sure Stephen Miller is in the WH saying, “Any means to reduce immigration.” Ghouls.
The Trump administration has quietly doubled down on its decision to stop sending emergency food to children starving in Bangladesh, Somalia, and other countries. Without urgent intervention, these children might die within months, @hana-kiros.bsky.social reports.
Emergency Food for 3 Million Children Is Stuck in DOGE Limbo
Elon Musk said he would preserve lifesaving aid to foreign children. Then the Trump administration quietly canceled it.

Until recently. it was relatively simple to track the ICE charter fleet from any online flight tracker: You just put "GlobalX" in a search window, and all their active flights would just pop up.
But that all ended a couple days ago...
