I just wrote that same thing. Charlie Kirk lived (and profited) everyday from his own hateful rhetoric. Should anyone be surprised that it caught up with him? Perhaps he should have thought more about his wife and children.

TPM’s @hunterw.bsky.social makes a convincing case - citing experts - that we should be referring to CECOT as a “concentration camp,” “penal colony,” or “permanent prison camp.”
Based on its features (no due process, indefinite detention) he says: “President Trump is sending people to the camps.”

Were there even a hint of even rightwing sincerity about the goal of stopping gangs, we’d know the names of the alleged criminals. U.S. & its little Belarus, El Salvador, refuse to reveal to anyone the names. This is the UN definition of “forced disappearance,” a human rights crime.

EOs targeting 2 former Trump officials aren’t getting enough attention. In invoking treason, Trump puts death penalty on table for Miles Taylor. In revoking security clearances for Penn because Taylor taught there, he gives Penn a choice: suffer or join the punishment by banning Taylor.

At a more basic level, in a democratic society, due process before a neutral fact finder is how we evaluate a conditional statement that begins with “if you <allegation>.” It doesn’t turn on and off depending on the allegation.
Reminder: This is false (it’s not “invasion”), unconstitutional (even illegal immigrants are entitled to due process), and fascist (trying to demonize and lawlessly eradicate minority groups by kidnapping them off the street and sending them to foreign prison camps).

1/ I wonder if there's a complement to Mettler's _Submerged State_ thesis: the successful state thesis. In brief: American government has *in many ways* been so successful for so long that Americans have forgotten why they need it, making anti-government rhetoric more appealing.

“We do have the authority over the federal courts, as you know. We can eliminate an entire district court. We have power of funding over the courts and all these other things,” Johnson told reporters on Tuesday. “But desperate times call for desperate measures, and Congress is going to act.”
Speaker Mike Johnson floats the possibility of Congress eliminating federal courts.
This comes as courts have blocked a series of actions taken by the Trump administration, along with Trump and his allies calling for the impeachment of certain district court judges.

Half of the time I spent detained in secondary inspection at YUL pre-clearance was clearly a case of understaffing relative to increased detention cases. My observation was that the issue was almost certainly that these CBP officials now have some kind of quota to satisfy.

On Hugh Hewitt’s show, Marco Rubio says El Salvador is “housing” people sent by the US. But he never says on what possible legal authority? These people haven’t committed any crime in El Salvador and by their own admission “many” have never committed a crime in the US. It all seems entirely lawless.
