Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security.

That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.

Here’s our old friend, Americans’ complete lack of familiarity with real-world authoritarianism, showing up again. They don’t understand that this is exactly what happens in authoritarian countries, outside of totalitarianism. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/15/o...

This is absolutely harrowing to watch. If you've seen the Brazilian film I'm Still Here, it's exactly that: armed men from an unnamed agency coming to a couple's door to take the man away, with no charges, no due process, no response to the wife's pleading questions. Completely unconscionable.

My 3 year old daughter asked me "what is a Traveller?"

Before I could answer, my 5 year old son told her "its what we are. It's people who do good things and share their toys and talk like we do but sometimes people don't like us".

“She’s in this orange prison outfit,” he said. “She just feels so isolated and desperate, you can imagine, she’s saying, ‘I want to come home’.”

She is safe, he said, but living “in horrendous conditions” and had not had access to legal representation.

There was a lot of #AcademicFreedom, good scholarship, and independent thought in German universities before Hitler. After Hitler had risen to power, many academics fled the country. Some resisted the Nazi regime and were persecuted. Most adapted to a new situation. Here are some examples. 1/n

If you are a reporter and are describing anyone other than an executive branch official as “complying” with an executive order you are not doing your job and are confusing the public. Full stop.

Trump is running the U.S. economy straight over the cliff.
Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.

Glenn Youngkin is really embodying his full awfulness.Virginia voters you can send him packing THIS YEAR. Start organizing now for the Nov. election. @abigailspanberger.com is a great candidate.
A police officer murdered a Black man who he thought stole some sunglasses and a judge sentenced him to three years for it, but Glenn Youngkin decided that was too much so commuted his sentence after two days. www.fox5dc.com/news/sentenc...
