A great day for the golden rule of political analysis: when the right wins it is a resounding ideological victory that humiliates the left and when the left wins it is a precarious fluke that will surely end up humiliating the left. Conservatives are power’s landlords and the left merely tenants

Trump’s move to pardon Santos isn’t just about mercy—it’s the death of accountability in U.S. politics. When a convicted fraudster and liar walks free, it proves power now outweighs morality, and truth has become a mere instrument of political convenience.

Against all the odds, against its own usual judgment, perhaps in a fit of absent-mindedness, Alma Mater does the right thing.
PENN IS OUT! That means both institutions that signed prior agreements with the administration have said no. We're at 3 rejections.

I told y'all once the second one hit yesterday, the clock started for the rest.

The many media outlets, politicians, and commentators who rushed to declare “a great peace, glory to the king!” should ask themselves why they did that, and figure out how to not make the same mistake again.

We will keep marching.
We will keep organising.
We will keep speaking up.

Giving people very good reason to think that a scheduled appointment might be a trap will do wonders for an orderly immigration system.
Horrifying— Barbara Gomes Marques went with her US citizen husband and lawyer on 9/16 to a green card appointment at USCIS office in downtown LA where she was tricked into walking down a hallway away from them, was snatched by ICE and never came back. She now faces imminent deportation in Louisiana.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."
