Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.

I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

i don't know how to prove this in an academic sense but I've always believed a major reason the U.S. survived the first age of fascism is that we'd created Hollywood a little earlier and all our most charming narcissists had something better to do than politics

How can people watch a diplomatic debacle and think it’s a win?

Morons only see a zero-sum game. I win and you lose!

Cool people understand nuanced games with mutual winners. We win, and the bullies lose!

Why is America going fascist?

Oligarchs funding right-wing propaganda? Bait and switch populism? Midwit white Christian nationalists? Disinformation and the grift economy?

Sure, but maybe it’s just boredom with the neoliberal status quo.

Even the billionaires are just children playing with fire.

I had an amazing dinner last night at Chef Vola in Atlantic City with my family celebrating my naturalization as an American citizen. I swore an oath defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
