“How, then, can we tell whether America has crossed the line into authoritarianism? We propose a simple metric: the cost of opposing the government.”

BREAKING: The Interior Dept just used a fake “energy emergency” to greenlight gas and mining projects on public lands. It’s a lie. There is no energy emergency. This is a giveaway to big oil.

an attorney gave some casual legal advice to a couple undocumented immigrants with legal resident children. so MAGA storm troopers showed up at his house, cut off his wifi, and accused him of obstructing an immigration investigation radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-courag...

Go to hell

This is absolutely wrong. The naval academy cancelled a speech by a well known and inspiring guy because they want to protect their students from…. The truth?!? How far have they fallen.. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/o...

Trump could declare himself President-for-Life, announce that the Constitution is inoperative in its entirety, and begin mass public executions of all Democrats, and every news story about the subsequent court case would have to include the phrase "Justices Thomas and Alito dissented"

Apparently not a joke x.com/Stef4NewYork... Endless numbers of white nationalists in senior positions. Tell me again how concerned you are about antisemitism.

The projection is off the charts here

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

Got a new one today when the press secretary accused him of being a "human trafficker" just absolutely out of thin air!

No biggie. This man is temporarily in charge of, and Trump wants to put him permanently in charge of, one of the two United States Attorney’s offices that handle the most national-security matters. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

There we go.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I’m not a lawyer or anything but I feel like you can draw a pretty direct line from John Yoo being allowed to slip back into the comforts of tenure and the occasional NYT oped to what’s happening with the CECOT and doj

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

Biggest insider trading market manipulation scheme in history. They aren't even bothering to hide it.

Biology for idiots

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Don’t fret: he sees that it was his bad.

other silver linings: "The Great Depression won't seem so bad." "We'll look back at Herbert Hoover more fondly." "John Roberts will get lots more practice doing obsequious interviews."

they are segregationists, it has been obvious from the jump, and i think that pundits who dismissed the charge as hyperbolic should explain why they couldn’t see the fact pattern

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said of the tariffs: “We have 130 million customers of USA products. You wanted a wall? You got your wall.” What a badass.

I'm no good with patterns. Can someone help me out here?

In addition to being dangerous, the Trump administration is such an embarrassment. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/u...
