None of the people involved in any of this can be allowed to hide or walk away from what they perpetrated. There must be consequences, otherwise it will happen again and again.

I hope he lives long enough to watch most of this happen and it breaks him inside

Growing up a trash ass part of the Midwest, a highlight of everyone’s year was going to the county fair and paying $5 to take three swings at an old Mercury Cougar with a baseball bat or a sledgehammer. I believe the fire department raised about half their budget that way. Just a thought.

Trump and admin lawyers know Pete Hegseth and others in the chain of command on the boat bombings are legally vulnerable. Adding to this from @swin24.bsky.social and @premthakker.bsky.social, the Trump Murder Memo "justifying" the bombings also makes this clear: zeteo.com/p/trump-is-a...

also another reminder that all the people who defended Biden/Garland for slow-walking the Trump prosecutions "the right way" because otherwise they'd claim the prosecutions were illegitimate were wrong because they claim the prosecutions were illegitimate anyway

It's remarkable how perfectly this awful story is similar to The Dreyfuss Affair, from the banishment to a cruel tropical prison to the world's worst and stupidest people refusing to let it go even for decades after he was freed.

This is just some ordinary dude no one had ever heard of, quietly getting by, and the administration has decided in a fit of pique to hound him for the rest of his life because otherwise they'd have to tacitly admit they're capricious incompetent villains. Just let him live, ffs

Hahahaha eat shit

I'm sure our recent white Afrikaaner asylum-seekers will enjoy their new lives in Guatemala

It's simple: anyone making under $36,000 a year is allowed to be openly racist, for class reasons. Between $36k and $100k you get to make racist jokes with your friends but you're not allowed to use slurs at work. Anyone making above $100k can only be racist in euphemisms, unless elected president

This of a piece with a trend among some leftists to lionize, defer to & avoid inconveniencing service workers, to the point of absurdity. If the food doesn't come out they way its supposed to, I'm going to politely ask it to be fixed in most cases. Neglectful or rude doesn't get 25% tip, c'mon.

I am deadly serious when I say that any liberal Project 2028 people should be taking names of the civil servants who go way past their authority to do stuff like this. That is very much not me saying that normal employees following bad orders should be fired. But there’s a line. This crosses it.

Anyway, a very good FOIA to file this morning would be for all emails and calls received in the last 24 hours by the immigration “judge” who issued the order.

They literally got a corrupt immigration judge to rewrite history by claiming that lack of evidence of any order of removal existing was a clerical error that they could "correct" by making one up 7 years later. Cartoonishly Orwellian stuff.

at this point these people are just begging for angry crowds to break down their doors and beat the shit out of them arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

“JonBenet Ramsey said that if you are beautiful, you may be killed in service to your country.” No Olivia I don’t believe JonBenet Ramsey said that actually.

KARATE!!

Also these worms have said fuck-all about similar threats and actions to cut federal funding to blue and purple states for similar reasons

I’ve heard from immigration attorneys that clients say ICE guards lay out the WRAP device (essentially a full-body straitjacket) on the tarmac as a threat — “do what we say or you’re getting the WRAP on the whole flight.” And here’s proof, from Seattle livestream today via @lalabote.bsky.social.

This is amazing commitment while at the same time something no part of my brain can fathom spending my free time doing, even for modest benefit. The world is full of such an array of people

BREAKING: White House Releases Photo of Man Trump is Constantly Shaking Hands with

A full half of those were other journalists who write about their own industry and another 25% were people hate reading it to trash on their substack or medium page

This is really incredible. The government's battle to deport Abrego Garcia has apparently been based on a lie from the start. Not even the "gang affiliation" lie or the "human smuggling" lie, but the more basic assertion that he was ordered to be deported in the first place.

The fact that the Trump Administration continues to enjoy such broad support from big businesses and rich assholes while 69% of Americans disapprove of his handling of the economy really drives home that we live in an oligarchy rather than a democracy.

Apparently it can always get worse. The full version of the new U.S. National Security Strategy, aptly named “NSC-1488” by the wags, calls for actively pulling Poland, Austria, Hungary and Italy from the #EU. And supporting far right. US sides with Putin. notesfrompoland.com/2025/12/10/f...

When you hire a white man because they’re a white man that’s not identity politics. Identity politics is when you get hired and you’re not a white man. The anti wokeness hysteria was always a backlash to integration of white collar jobs bsky.app/profile/jami...

It's so funny that ten years ago mini gyms/family areas would've been an Obama pilot program in one airport with no budget anyway, and these guys would have been, "An AIRPORT is God's anointed NODE of BUSINESS, for MEN, you should not be able to pass security unless you EAT a HAMBURDER."

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

The only way to assure individual liberty is to hand unprecedented governmental power to the guy engaged in blatant democratic backsliding

I fear it is impossible to overstate this, but I wonder if what we are listening to is a third reconstruction (counter-construction?) of our entire federal government. Either we go full autocracy, destroy federal government state capacity altogether, or make the court a super-legislature.
