Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

This is bone-chilling.
This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Marco Rubio is prepared to cut all aid to NATO and the UN, and he's revoking visas of students who've committed no crimes. But he's always come across as weak and submissive, so we'll keep on branding him a moderate for his entire career.

They’re going to accidentally deport a U.S. citizen aren’t they
Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

Meanwhile, Trump hit them with a 20% tariff.
Incredibly moving. 1000s of Lithuanians lined the streets of the capital Vilnius yesterday to honor the four US soldiers killed on their soil.
As their bodies are repatriated to the US, their President will be nowhere to be seen, except on a Florida golf course.

Sooner or later, and it doesn’t matter who you are, he’s going to arrest someone you care about for disagreeing with him.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

It’s amazing to find out at this late date how much the rule of law depended on people simply deciding, on a voluntary, daily basis, not to break the law.

If you're thinking about running for president as a liberal and your first move to build bridges to potential conservative voters is to throw one of the most thoroughly and unfairly demonized groups in the country under the bus...then we're done. No need to see your second move.

It’s fun being a writer and trying to write during this delightful era. I’ll write like three paragraphs and before I start on the fourth I blink and I’m doomscrolling and I don’t even remember commanding my hand to click to that tab. Then I go back to writing. Everything is fine! It’s all fine.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.
This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.
