Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Marjorie Taylor Greene on polls showing Republicans are getting blamed for the shutdown: "I'm not putting the blame on the president. I'm actually putting the the blame on the Speaker and Leader Thune in the Senate. This should not be happening ... we control the House & Senate & have the WH."

I've seen a lot of people misunderstanding what this does and does not mean and Melissa does a great job explaining it's first and foremost a media strategy. Importantly, none of this is new and has been used against other groups and activists (Muslims/Palestinians, BLM, immigrants)
I looked into the group and the guy pushing the FBI to create a new designation of “transgender ideology–inspired violence and extremism”—itself a political project, meant to conflate the fact of trans people’s existence with extremism.
The Right’s Baseless Project to Link Trans People With Extremism
A campaign for the FBI to adopt a new designation of “transgender ideology–inspired violence and extremism” is less about law enforcement than politics.

Someone needs to grab Ezra Klein by the shoulders and get through to him that none of those right wing people are gonna get enlightened by some perfect liberal phrasing — not a single one! — because they’ve already been redeemed by Jesus of Nazareth and have no need for you or your institutions!

it’s kind of wild to see the directions in which a few years of “relentless left punching over Bay Area permitting reform” can take a guy’s brain if you give him enough time. it appears to be some sort of madness rune

anyway, nobody will learn anything from Engardio’s recall, there is no secret opening for the left coming from this, that’s wishful thinking. A local man was hoisted by his own petard by his own base. That’s it

As the Liberty continue pricing out their longtime season ticket holders (mostly POC &/or LGBTQ+), a reminder that I wrote about this very thing before the season began:
the gentrification of the WNBA
While “investment in women’s sports” is often uncritically celebrated among league owners and the media, reality is much more complicated.

it cannot be overemphasized that many SF & CA Democratic politicians did everything they could to pour gasoline on this fire, including encouraging SCOTUS to criminalize unsheltered homelessness for the entire nation. as with Gaza & university crackdowns, they blazed Trump’s trail for him.
A common thread of seemingly disparate MAGA policies, including some of the latest policing moves, is that big Dem-run cities are violent hellholes incapable of self-government that threaten to outvote real American patriots, and need to be taken over whatever their voters may think about that.
It's AMERICANA time.
The opening column is about the point of three interlocking projects: Mid-district gerrymander, VRA lawsuit, attempt to re-do census. It's about reducing the political power of urban Democrats, for their own good.

I don't see any way back from this. They're winning at consolidating all the levers of power under Trump and then using it to bend the culture and media to his will. It's succeeding and no one is putting up enough of a meaningful fight. Current efforts are arranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

They believe they’re fighting a war for the nation, some think they’re fighting a holy war. We need to march that energy.
The Right’s political and intellectual leaders believe they are engaged in a noble war for the “soul,” the identity, the very existence of the nation. If the stakes are so high, moderation, restraint, and patience are not an option. There is no line they don’t feel justified to cross.

It's important to note here that we're not just talking about faculty & university staff. 100s of U.S. colleges are in towns or small cities where they form the major industry & lifeblood of the community. Loss of students -> loss of rent $, restaurant $, bars, bookstores, gaming stores...
The US could see a 30-40% decline in new international student enrollment, resulting in nearly $7 billion in lost revenue and more than 60,000 fewer American jobs. https://www.nafsa.org/fall-2025-international-student-enrollment-outlook-and-economic-impact
