There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command.

If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics.

It’s trials w real punishments.

A glowing purple claw vending-machine-style claw game filled with twenty or so boxed Labubu toys sitting in the middle of a semi-desolate overlarge food court in which we can see a Sbarro and a McDonald's.

This Pennsylvania County Wiped Out Millions in Jail Debt After Dauphin County ended the practice of charging people while they’re detained in jail, Commissioner Justin Douglas pushed it to forgive more than $65 million in lodging fees.

This Pennsylvania county stopped charging people 'lodging fees' for the time they spent in jail. Then commissioners voted to forgive over $65 million in these fees.

β€œWhat a light of hope this has been,” said one woman whose son owed $17,000.

the reason Mamdani’s campaign got so much enthusiastic support from left-wing Jews is that, despite all the talk about β€œJudeo-Christian values” from the right, Muslims and Jews in the US - including Muslim and Jewish politicians - are subjected to incredibly similar cultural pressures.

This seems like a bad thing to have. I feel like the entirety of both parties should be anti-Hitler.

But a senior Republican just publicly admitted that’s not true.

That’s … really really bad.
