Hawaii having a football team and that team being good is why I love college football, and it's something major pro sports cannot produce. It's the true American sport.

Probably bad that even centrist and now liberal institutions regard the relatively mild intervention in order to slow the spread of a deadly disease as a mistake. Really not comforting to think how this will impede response to a future pandemic
This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

This is totally underreported. Trump is not just going after "illegals." He's going after people who were here legally, by changing their status.

These are people who entered the US the right way, and never broke a law. Now they are subject to Trump's whim, his ICE goons, and inhuman detention.
Trump has revoked legal status for at least 1.6 million immigrants over the past year by cancelling programs like TPS and student visas.

Remember: these are people who entered the country legally.

Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.

I appreciate folks following the breadcrumb trail and not trying to jump to conclusions, but I’m not bound by those rules and I think “a media toady nuking a story about American concentration camps” is pretty self-explanatory

Nothing to see here, just a right wing hyper-nationalist government going to their party’s youth event sponsored by a group with a martyred leader they’ve pledged to avenge, recruiting people to join their masked police force devoted to removing auslanders from ze homeland.

Specifically, lawyers who look at the plain meaning of laws and constitution as something to be gamed if they are clever enough, like looking for the loophole to help their rich client beat the murder charge.

the thing most people struggle with is understanding that doj wasn’t hesitant to go hard at trump because they were unsure of the outcome, they were hesitant because they were VERY sure of the outcome (conviction) and it scared the shit out of them.
I also developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt of this, using the investigative methods of "reading the words that the president regularly spoke and wrote in public forums."
BREAKING on MS NOW:

Jack Smith, in his opening statement to House Judiciary, says:

"Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

I realize folks don't want to hear this, but we really need to re-examine the conventional wisdom that we can shift the entire US market to pure EV with massive batteries and some light consumer incentives.

It's a nice thing to believe but the evidence doesn't add up.
Production of the all-electric Ford F-150 has come to an end. But the next one will be an extended-range electric vehicle, or EREV, with 700 miles of range.

But Ford announced other pivots back to gas today too:

The Next Ford F-150 Lightning Will Get A Gas Engine
Ford has an answer to the F-150 Lightning's woes: turn it into a 700-mile extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) for the next generation.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

The reason folks are focusing on DHS's refusal to honor Real IDs is that it means that the Trump regime is asserting the right to detain anyone in America, resident or visitor, without probable cause. It's an erasure of habeas corpus for all Americans.

Add to this that HSI just filed a declaration in our case challenging these policies saying they can’t trust REAL IDs as proof of status.

So showing your papers isn’t even enough to end the stop.

On top of everything that’s wrong with this, Republicans JUST succeeded, after screaming about the need for it for YEARS, in forcing literally everyone to go and get their stupid, expensive replacement licenses, and now they’re no good anyway.
