The long history of the Great Writ is actually quite alive to this issue of exile. From the perspective of the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679, sending a prisoner outside the country didn’t deprive the court of jurisdiction; instead, it exposed the officials responsible to a raft of severe punishments.

Folks, doomerism is its own form of preening. A bid for a perverse form of cynical anti-clout. If that’s what works for you, whatever gets you through the night. But recognize it for what it is.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

The US just revoked an executive order aimed at making EV sales 50% by 2030. “The US will not sabotage our own industries while China pollutes with impunity,” Trump said.
But China is already stomping the US in EV sales. This decision will widen the gap.

We’re learning just how many people have been pretending at the most basic human decency all along. They’ve hated feeling compelled to pretend. They so love the recent license to stop.
They can’t imagine anyone who isn’t also pretending. When they run into virtue, they call it “virtue signaling.”
