'Andor' shows us what's possible when you give a s—t SFGATE columnist Drew Magary on "Andor" and its ability to traffic in the very real issues that we confront on a daily basis.

“‘Andor’ has been the best ‘Star Wars’ work of the 21st century, perhaps ever, and now you’re telling me I only get two seasons of it? I’LL BE TELLING MY COMIC CON PANEL MODERATOR ABOUT THIS.”

Pedro Pascal Blasts J.K. Rowling as a 'Heinous Loser' for Her Anti-Trans Views, Backs Harry Potter Boycott

he’s right and he’s right to say it

Respondents emphasize that Abrego Garcia was improperly removed to El Sal- vador because, although he could be removed anywhere else in the world under a 2019 order of removal, that order granted statutory withholding of removal to El Sal- vador alone. But, while the United States concedes that removal to El Salvador was an administrative error, see App., infra, 60a, that does not license district courts to seize control over foreign relations, treat the Executive Branch as a subordinate dip- lomat, and demand that the United States let a member of a foreign terrorist organ- ization into America tonight. For starters, because MS-13 members such as Abrego Garcia have since been designated members of a foreign terrorist organization, they are no longer eligible for withholding of removal under 8 U.S.C. 1231(b)(3)(B). Fur- ther, the United States has ensured that aliens removed to CECOT in El Salvador will not be tortured, and it would not have removed any alien to El Salvador for such detention if doing so would violate its obligations under the Convention Against Tor- ture. Moreover, respondents treat the relief here as “routine,” Resp. C.A. Stay Opp. 1, but that relief goes far beyond merely facilitating an alien’s return, which is what courts have ordered in other cases. This order—and its demand to accomplish sensitive foreign negotiations post-haste, and effectuate Abrego Garcia’s return to- night—is unprecedented and indefensible.

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

I was going to post exactly this! Besides pining over the Trump reject, the fact that she considers these to be “glow-ups” is telling. It turns out being a racist shitbag on the inside makes you look equally as appealing on the outside

Nervous about Trump, international tourists scrap their U.S. travel plans International tourists are canceling plans to visit the United States, with Canadians leading the way.

International travelers concerned about President Donald Trump’s trade policies and bellicose rhetoric have been canceling trips to the United States, depriving the U.S. tourism industry of billions of dollars at a time when the economy has started to appear wobbly.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

I believe no one should be traveling to the U.S. right now, but an extra word of warning to those with disabilities or reliant on medications.

If you’re detained, you may not be able to access the care you need.

With my health I wouldn’t last 24 hours in a detention camp. Don’t risk it.

So I went to watch "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," only the theme music at the beginning is "The Immigrant Song" which meant I had to turn the movie off and watch this instead. Kids, pay attention, this is what Gen X contributed to world culture.

Historians uniformly agree that the Ku Klux Klan was bad. But this LA Times AI tool isn't so sure.

These kind of votes are born out of trans representation in government.

Rep. Howell & I have built solid relationships with Republicans and those relationships change hearts, minds, and (eventually) votes.

It is painful, grueling work. But it makes a difference.

Thank you!

Love too run the government efficiently, like a business.

It hurts extra hard to have Gavin throw me and folks like me under the bus. This is how Trump wins, not Dems.

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

Judge blocks OPM, Education Department from sharing personal info with DOGE The order is the most wide-ranging block on DOGE’s activities to date.

This is why we get in the fight.

This is McEnroe. He doesn’t have a mortgage, job, or any other form of responsibilities. Which explains why he sleeps so peacefully. 12/10

I know you’re going to tell me that I’m an idiot but I really am surprised that my former friends who became Musk fans aren’t waking up to reality right now.

Not for nothing but everyone realizes that these teenagers and 20 somethings who have complete access to the Treasury payment source code are now #1 espionage recruitment targets for Russia and China, right?

Stop the genocide!

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.
