As the Trump Administration is kidnapping and deporting brown immigrants without due process, and welcoming white South African "refugees" with fanfare, they're asking the Supreme Court to ignore the 14th Amendment and end birthright citizenship.

You can call it racist and white supremacist now.

A judge ordered ICE to release Rümeysa Öztürk, finding that the government held her without due process over First Amendment-protected speech, which is right and good.

But has she actually been released? Because this is now a country where "judge orders" doesn't necessarily mean "government does."

This is an official plan for ethnic cleansing. If you supported Israel for the past 18 months or so under the assumption that this was about the hostages you were taken for a ride.

If you still support Israel's assault on Gaza, you support ethnic cleansing. It's that simple.
Israel plans to occupy and flatten all of Gaza if no deal by Trump's trip
Trump has effectively given Netanyahu a green light to do as he sees fit, Israeli officials say.

The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are among the worst and most destructive attacks on civilian populations in human history. Those cities are still there. You can go to them.

That Rafah has been bombed so much and for so long that it no longer exists should horrify everyone on this planet.

Okay stop telling me it isn't a genocide.

THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO DESTROY. The only reason to do this is if you're annexing the Strip.

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession.

Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months.

Gotta be some kind of record.

While you highlight it, please note is the product of local journalism, which has been carrying a lot of the burden in an environment where national outlets simply can't cover everything everywhere all at once. Support your local journalists!
Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

As an introvert, I detest both small talk and when random strangers talk to me when I’m a captive audience. The earbuds and book are not “props” to look cool and disinterested. Those are clear signals being broadcast, like when a skunk raises its tail near you.

This feels a lot like that early period of Covid when some people were shouting about how bad it was going to be while guys like Trump and Musk were predicting it would be over by April.
Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from China. We’re screwed.

Sen. Van Hollen and his meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador is all over the news and social media.

Joe Rogan is talking about the value of due process, wrongly denied to Abrego Garcia.

Thankfully the “just poll, then do what’s already popular, never try to lead or shape opinion” crowd lost.

The only plausible reason for the Supreme Court to rush out its order at 1 a.m. is that a majority of justices refused to trust the Trump administration's promise that it wouldn't secretly deport migrants without due process.

That alone marks a hugely consequential shift.
