Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.
I did it because the government isn’t.
This is what I found.

In America, the people most enthusiastic about institutionalizing more people are usually the people most opposed to funding or regulating institutions or providing due process to the involuntarily institutionalized. So, business as usual.

Jamelle Bouie is one of the best writers in the country. Period. At anything. The things people say to him, usually with a huff of self-satisfied indignation, are *unbelievable*.
Believing your cause to be just is not a ticket to treat other people however you want.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.
He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

Last night I watched a PBS show about the late Pope Francis, and it included the Dirty War in Argentina from the mid-70s to mid-80, and how people were rounded up and "disappeared." This is happening right here, right now. And it seems absolutely random if you have the wrong-sounding name.

If you wait to declare a Constitutional crisis until he "officially defies" the Court, you'll be waiting until it's too late.
Because that's not how powerful people do rule-breaking. They try to gaslight you and pretend they didn't break the rules or convince you their rule-breaking is justified.

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.

Women feminists do all the things male feminists do, but better, while also living life as a woman in a patriarchal society, facing all the threat and terror that entails. They also do this without the acclaim and elevation male feminists routinely enjoy, without being labeled special & brilliant.
