“The answer to the trolley problem in the real world is to either brake the trolley or break the trolley…to block or wreck the tracks...to free everyone tied to both sets of tracks, or lay down new tracks without people on them. Or…issue a warning. Or..set an alarm. Or…try all of these at once.”

For everyone hating on Mamdani, I don’t see how to read this other than Mamdani owning DJT
Let’s be clear.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social got Trump so charmed that Trump posted two photos of the two of them with Franklin Roosevelt’s portrait behind them AND one of just Mamdani and FDR’s portrait.

I can't help but think of the folks at Fox News, who are hurriedly reworking their "showdown on socialism" graphics after this meeting.

This is fantastic news. Happy Thanksgiving, Mr. Ensign
Judge James Boasberg announced Wednesday he will continue contempt proceedings against the Trump administration, planning to hold hearings starting the Monday after Thanksgiving over the March 15 flights to El Salvador.

“I certainly intend to find out what happened on that day.”
Breaking: Judge Boasberg says "justice requires" him to continue contempt inquiry into Trump admin
“I certainly intend to find out what happened on that day,” Boasberg said of the March 15 Alien Enemies Act flights. He plans to begin hearings on Dec. 1.

I think it should be a bigger deal that before Trump made him a life-tenured appeals court judge, Emil Bove was at DOJ taking the position that the White House should do war crimes
Report: Trump’s Most Corrupt, Least Qualified Judge Was Also an Enthusiastic Proponent of Extrajudicial Killings
Yet another reason for Senate Democrats to impeach Emil Bove the moment they take back the upper chamber.

This is a great piece of writing.
When DHS dared to call its anti-immigrant racial profiling weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina, “Operation Charlotte’s Web,” I knew I was going to have to write about it.

Incredible video from Reddit (too large to upload the screencap). CBP agents attempt to detain a flower vendor and end up getting chased into a vacant lot by a crowd of teenagers. What a bunch of impotent sad sacks.

NEW: Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about.

DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom.

Here’s a story for every national news outlet:

In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property.

“Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.”

If these people are ever thrown out of power, I hope we all understand there is no reformist pathway for institutions like this as much as Dems might desperately wish and claim there is.

No justice, no peace is a fact, not a threat.
Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

These people always pitch themselves as savvy Real America Whisperers but constantly talking about how Republicans are right and Democrats are annoying is abysmal electoral strategy.

Talk about how minorities aren't a threat, billionaires are!

“Weaponizing the DOJ” takes on a whole new level when you order investigations in order to reopen it so it’s no longer closed and you can claim you can’t release information because it’s an “ongoing investigation”

It actually fully grosses me out & makes me livid when I see Democratic leaders in the House or Senate say: “In the interest of bipartisanship”

Bipartisanship has left the building!

Believing in bipartisanship is how we got here. Not being strong &
partisan is our greatest weakness.

The judge who oversaw the initial challenge to Trump’s attempt to use the Alien Enemies Act to quickly remove people from the country will soon have the authority to continue any contempt proceedings over whether the admin violated his first orders in the case on March 15.

I explain:
D.C. Circuit won't review Trump admin contempt appeal further, sending matter back to Boasberg
The latest order over the Trump administration's actions sending flights to El Salvador on March 15.
