How could Latinos vote for Trump in 2024 (aside from the fact that Kamala Harris was a lousy candidate)? Some Latinos said: "I came to the United States legally, and I oppose people who did not come here legally." Now they know that just looking Latino invites an attack by Trump's goons in #ice […]

#Boycott #FIFAWorldCup if the USA, a former #democracy, is still allowed to host it. The evil, vain, greedy #orangeDecibyte just started a war to distract from the #EpsteinFiles.

May screenshot, made with Google translate, reads: "Dear Mexicans and Canadians, please boycott FIFA if they do not reconsider hosting the Men's World Cup. The athletes and fans are not safe under the Trump administration in the United States. The FIFA Peace Prize is no longer valid. It would be absurd to award it again. Estimados mexicanos y canadienses, por favor, boicoteen a la FIFA si no reconsideran la organización de la Copa Mundial Masculina. Los atletas y la afición no están seguros bajo la administración de Trump en Estados Unidos. El Premio de la Paz de la FIFA ya no es válido. Sería absurdo otorgarlo de nuevo."

Yup. #tiktok has fallen the same way as Facebook did, as Instagram did. (And why I left).

I just did a completely objective take on the #petrodollar system, only focusing on how it allows the US to run an oversized deficit and thus fund a larger army and financial system than anyone else, yet […]

I ordered a vegetable curry - which the day before, I had confirmed had no meat.

But today's staff decided to do me a favor and add chicken to it. Yay. Thanks...

Thoughtful analysis of what happened today —
emptywheel.bsky.social emptywheel @emptywheel.bsky.social · 20h
This is a good statement -- bc it gets you where you need to be wrt the OTHER constitutional issues (not least bc THIS SCOTUS would not rule against Trump but Gorsuch IS on recent record that Congress can't hand off its war-declaring power to POTUS.
walterolson.bsky.social Walter Olson @walterolson.bsky.social · 21h
Statement from Cato VP Clark Neily: Courts probably won't rule against the rendition. Yet Trump has chosen to bypass the constitutional provisions designed to cabin the president's powers in using force against other countries. And an indictment does not supply him with those powers.

3 days in to a new year, and the #war #king has a terrific now plan to avoid serving Americans - or serving time.

Robert Reich - on "X" That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

After the stunt in Venezuela and the abduction of Maduro, a bitter aftertaste remains:

international law does not stop applying just because the target is a dictator.
Breaking the rules selectively weakens them for everyone.
