Rent got raised too high

In North American terms, that was Arsenal in 7 games.

Lawfully present asylum-seeker detained for a week, pressured to voluntarily "self-deport," only released after family & friends posted a $10K bond, and now he has to wear an ankle monitor. Thanks, Justice Kavanaugh.

No one is more against the wall than a non-Catholic bringing up just war, it's like a political candidate bringing up "Dewey Defeats Truman"

Likely the first deportation flight to Ethiopia since at least 2020. In the midst of escalating tensions of an internal war between Tigray and the Federal Ethiopian government. The last one resolved in just 2022 after 600,000 deaths.

In a sick, violent way, they have more faith in the possibility of a new world than a lot of people on the other side. They are willing to reimagine all of it. Many of us cannot imagine getting rid of payday loans and they’re like eff it, let’s see if the Pope’s still got the juice.

"everyone protesting Trump is old" is cope from the curated alternate reality and not something connected to the real world.

Texas' only licensed Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu legal interpreter is now languishing in a Raymondville detention center. She’s lived in America for 35 years: www.texasobserver.org/immigration-...

Scenes from a personalist regime: The President and VP do not understand that some public officials do not actually work for them.

The point is someone said we should call ICE detention “concentration camps” so Americans know they aren’t “prisons and jail.” Heaven forbid folks get the notion that mass incarceration is bad.

Overcrowding, bad (no) medical care, not enough food, filth — these are average and expected in this country’s jails and prisons everywhere. ICE detention conditions aren’t below the norm — that’s the norm. That’s what 2 million ppl and their families experience every day.

Not a dig at any reporter at all, but I encourage outlets to use detention population numbers as reported by DetentionReports.com instead of those reported by ICE. To be clear, the facility-by-facility detainee numbers that ICE releases are not erroneous, just misleadingly out of date.

Flagler County Jail is located in Bunnell, Florida. As of April 2, 2026, Immigration and Customs Enforcement was detaining a person at this facility for an average of 9 days. detentionreports.com/facility/FLG...

I fully recommend www.freetaxusa.com Not as many requests to spend more. Much more reasonable prices. I also recommend voting for candidates that want to make it easier to pay taxes and aren't so anti-government that they want it to be hard for you to pay taxes so you hate the government more.

“The term ‘climate crisis,’ which carries with it a more urgent connotation than the more familiar ‘climate change,’ has nearly disappeared from media lexicon.”

This is horrific. A U.S. citizen describes the facility in Arizona that her husband was brought to while he waited to be put on a deportation flight. Dozens of people were crammed into tiny cells, there was a "chain of people vomiting" from filthy toilets, no medical care, and only one meal per day.

by this definition, aprtheid south africa — which had elections that the ruling party could at least in theory lose — was not an authoritarian state either

What an impoverished understanding of democracy.

My god. Essential, horrifying reporting here.

I've spent months talking to men imprisoned at ICE camps across the American southwest. Some of them say they continue to be mistreated by guards who act with even more impunity following Geraldo Lunas Campos’ death — which a coroner ruled a homicide. @notus.com: www.notus.org/immigration/...

I've just learned that Hayam El Gamal, who I met with at Dilley detention center last week, is being denied an ultrasound by ICE, even though CT scans show an unidentified lump that has been causing her pain. This is dangerous and outrageous.

FIFA's stance is that hosts bear all the costs of hosting the World Cup, and in turn, FIFA bears all the reward

I'm personally skeptical that Trump will listen to Gianni on this one. www.nytimes.com/athletic/719...

as w/any other appellate court, the BIA rarely reverses an IJ's credibility findings; these kinds of decisions are extremely rare. No surprise that this one happened to be in the case of an Egyptian Christian claiming persecution by the Muslim Brotherhood. (no shade here, but also no coincidence)

"Orban conceded so therefore Trump is no threat to US democracy" is quite the admission of not being a serious person. Similar to "Jan. 6 didn't work so the extended two-month campaign that preceded it was not an attempted coup."

Playoff format should be 1-16, fixed bracket, with the #1 team picking their first-round opponent. Highest-remaining team goes in the opposite corner of the bracket and plays their choice of opponent, and so on. If you don't want to travel, or you want a specific division rival, pick accordingly.

I post short threads on detainee population statistics for each detention center. To refer back to previous entries, here's the google sheet. Detainee population numbers have likely changed over time so proceed to detentionreports.com for up-to-date information.

The US Administration has ended deportation protections for nationals of 13 countries so far. Writing as lead amicus, I join with three Nobel laureates and 16 other leading economists to assess the impact of these actions on the US economy, in a new brief for the Supreme Court. CC @piie.com

A good backgrounder on Midwest Regional. www.themarshallproject.org/2025/07/01/l...

When you add it all up, the collapse in immigration looks like this: a decline of roughly 50K for illegal (even including the people arrested and not released) and a decline of about 132K for legal. Over 70% of the cut in immigration has come from LEGAL immigration.

This has got to be the comedy penalty of 2026.

This local-first immigration enforcement strategy has typified immigration enforcement in the GOP-governed states for the past 15 months. This reads like an effort to extend that strategy nationwide.

this is what i meant weeks ago when i said so much of the aggressive surge in migrant policing felt like a boundary test, where a period of highly visible violence would eventually recede in favor of less visible and more "professionalized" migrant policing at a level beyond its baseline pre-trump.

ICE Reports 16th Detained Death of 2026 at Winn Correctional Center in Louisiana Alejandro Cabrera Clemente, a 49-year-old man from Mexico, died on April 11 at a private prison in rural Louisiana. The pace of one death every 6 days continues to hold. austinkocher.substack.com/p/ice-report...

The replacement of Jesus with Trump as the messianic figure in right wing American Christianity is predicated on plausible deniability, and Trump breaks this contract every time he explicitly acknowledges that he has taken the place of Christ in their worship.

NEW: USCIS published its data for all of 2025, and even into Jan. 2026. The result: 2025 began w high numbers of citizenship apps submitted & decided (approved/denied). By winter fewer were applying to become citizens — and fewer were given a decision. Latest: www.npr.org/2026/04/13/g...

“David Roddy for a few highlight plays” is the exact kind of fan service we should delight in for the last game of a regular season. Denver/Colorado basketball vibes are rising

Kinda curious if, despite that screed, Trump tries to get tix to that White Sox Pope game. I bet he wants that hat.

Here she is at the March on Washington wearing her Resistance medals, incredible flex

posted this on the Other Site but a guy asked what logos would look like if every team had the same color scheme

My personal top 5 Ws for the Denver Nuggets' in 25-26: 1. v MIN, 12/25/25 - Best X-Day game ever? 2. v SAS, 04/04/26 - They really went at it, didn't they? 3. @ PHI, 01/05/26 - Power of Friendship Game 4. @ BOS, 01/07/26 - Highest Quality Win 5. v HOU, 12/15/25 - Underrated matchup: Durant v Jokić

it really can happen in all kinds of ways

The Lula government was closely watching how the US interfered in Hungary's election, since the US has plans to interfere in Brazil's elections this year. Good to see that the US's strategy of sending Vance seems to have backfired. www1.folha.uol.com.br/mundo/2026/0...
