How much more in your face can it be?

"Why are you asking me for my paperwork?"
"Because of your accent."
"You have an accent too."
"Where were you born sir?"
"Where were you born at?"
"Put your hands behind your back."

These barbarians are destroying everything that makes society work. Kids can't go to school, patients can't go to the hospital. We are, in effect, paying them to wreck the basic infrastructure of the country

1)You may remember the articles criticizing liberal students for their hesitancy to make friends with conservative students—alleging that they were less open-minded than their conservative counterparts.

Again: Free speech is when conservatives can say what they want and when you can say what they want.

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

I'd put this a bit more sharply than @steveinskeep.bsky.social probably can: Trump simply does not understand any boundary between himself and the government. He has no sense of the public interest and believes the government is an extension of himself personally. open.substack.com/pub/steveins...
Trump threatens Musk the same way he did Harvard
He threatened to use federal contracts to gain retribution.

There is a PR narrative quickly emerging about “entitlement” of elite universities, as if this $ is some sort of subsidy

Harvard & others must counter this quickly

The $ doesn’t flow into Harvard’s coffers - this is grant money, most of which goes to research the govt has agreed has social value

Let me thank my Senate colleague @vanhollen.senate.gov for his trip to visit Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Mr. Abrego Garcia was wrongfully imprisoned. As the Supreme Court indicated, there was no basis for his warrantless arrest.

The Trump admin must obey the law. He must be returned home.

This is fascinating: On the pod, @kedseconomist.com cites the example of a US manufacturer of board games to explain what's wrong with Trump's tariffs and why unleashing so much pain and turmoil to restore manufacturing is an incoherent goal.

I keep coming back to the insanity of this statement from an ICE official, which would sound like something out of 1984 except lacks Orwell's sense of irony and self-awareness www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The US government just admitted to a federal court that it deported a father by mistake. It sent him to an el Salvadoran torture chamber and separated him from his US citizen family. Several DOJ lawyers have just now argued that the courts lack power to bring him home.

This is illegal, and it endangers the rights of all Americans.

In this country, people must be free to express their views — left or right, popular or unpopular — without being detained or punished by the government.
