Fascism entails this constant capacity to shock. Things once taken for granted begin to fall apart. And yet we must continue to say: Free Mahmoud Khalil.

Pleading for a world where the reaction to this is a return to standard operating paradigms which don't require a smartphone or an app.
The digital divide, already acute, is going to get worse under tariffs at a moment when it's increasingly impossible to live your life without digital connectivity.
Trump’s Tariffs Will Widen the Digital Divide
Tariffs will raise prices on essential tech and lead to inflation. Experts say that people who depend on cheap stuff to survive are going to suffer the most.

Whew, this conclusion from the Fourth Circuit:
"We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos."

trump’s reaction (or lack thereof) to the attempt on the lives of gov. shapiro and his family ON PASSOVER is why it’s journalism malpractice to credulously report ANYTHING he does as being in service of fighting antisemitism.
jews are pawns in his nazi game and don’t ever get it twisted.

If antisemitism and college students being offended by things pose serious threats to US foreign policy interests,
(a) just what the fuck kind of mickey mouse foreign policy show are we running here; and
(b) the next D president is going to have a lot of fun deporting "gender critical" students

Wow. This is the full document submitted by Rubio against Mr. Khalil invoking INA 237(a)(4)(C).
The standard in immigration court is extremely deferential; a judge must accept this so long as it is “facially reasonable and bona fide.” But this is so threadbare that it might not even satisfy that.

Friends it’s really easy to talk about how terrible someone is without:
(1) playing to ableist tropes about how bad people must also be sick somehow in mind or body.
or
(2) Dehumanizing our enemies, who are sadly, terribly, deeply human.
“He wants to kill millions of people” is enough.
