Justice Kavanaugh: "and those individuals may promptly go free after making clear to the immigration officers that they are U.S. citizens or otherwise legally in the United States."
"According to his running club, the man, who is a U.S. citizen, was returning from a team run when agents pulled him out of his vehicle, tackled him to the ground and kneeled on top of him, allegedly breaking six ribs and causing internal bleeding"
US citizen, 67, ‘has six ribs broken’ by Border Patrol agents, his running club says

I guess I said that! (Being articulate through my fingers is so much more reliably manageable than through my mouth, and I never really remember what I said.)
"The Trump administration hides its atrocities behind its atrocities, its obscenities behind its obscenities, its corruptions behind its corruptions. The ones this week distract us from the ones last week." @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social – on @thenation.com podcast bit.ly/48CM3SF

I just received a "gentle reminder" for a meeting. What's the difference between a "gentle" reminder and a regular reminder?

Every accusation ....
While Stephen Miller claims that Democrats calling him a fascist constitutes incitement, there are hundreds of examples of Miller publicly calling Democrats fascists.

I wonder if the boycott (and humiliation) of the Israeli film industry will persuade Netanyahu to stop the war in Gaza & the West Bank and approve a two state solution.

I just heard that you only need two miracles to become a saint. Given the number of students with hopeless academic records I helped to graduate, I could be Pope.

It’s a great relief that the courts are pushing back. Maybe checks and balances can work.

In the US, a fascist coup is already underway. I must emphasise again that this is not a shrill statement. Experts in this field concur and some have, in fact, left the US because they understand the trajectory. But so many fail to see, eg they say DOGE failed—it didn’t! The aim of DOGE has …

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker: "Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption. But I am now. These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. They must understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have."

Gutsy, gutsy move here.
And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.
We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Wow. As Trump walked in a Congresswoman held up a sign saying, "This is not normal." A Congressman tore it out of her hands and threw it into the air....She look sad....This is not normal.

Conan clicked along in his Oscar monologue, typically faux modest, and then hit this ugly, unnecessary moment when he pretended to call out Adam Sandler, dressed like a slob pretending to go play basketball. I saw it as a slam against Volodymyr Zelensky. If not the intention it still wasn't funny.

I just saw the best theater performance of my life: Audra McDonald in “Gypsy.” Expensive, but Ticketmaster’s prices were lower than TodayTix. Also, same day tickets are 1\3 off at the TKTS booth in Times Square.

Dylan’s “Who killed Davey Moore?” (1963) is about a boxer who died from punches to the head. Dylan indicts an opponent from Cuba where boxing “ain’t allowed no more.” Then there's the song about the framed Hurricane Carter, who “could’ve been the champion of the world.” 2 views of boxing.

Commentators are harsh about what Democrats did wrong to
lose the election. When they see what happens, let those who voted for Trump or voted “uncommitted” ask themselves how they got it so wrong.
