Remarkable how brutal the ruling against Trump on Abrego Garcia truly is: It details flagrant and malicious abuses of power all throughout. Trump and Stephen Miller were testing their ability to spread lawless state terror. But the court held the line. 1/

Great lesson on Haitian history (that also smacks down Bill Maher) from Jonathan Katz.

A mac and cheese wedge on a plate with some broccoli. You can practically smell the aroma of hot cheese seasoned with garlic and cayenne
First attempt at New Orleans-style mac and cheese. 🤤

In a late 15th century painting by Perugino, Christ (shown topless) stands at the center of a party crew of angels, his fingers pointed at the sky, as if ready to say, "Can I get a wut wut."

A painting shows an array of far right wing figures painted on a banana bunch. At top, another banana bears the phrase “Banana Republican Brand.”

Honestly, just stop buying books from Amazon. Get them from an actual bookshop or order them from a reputable book supplier like bookshop.org
