Even with a trifecta Republicans are still instinctively committed to causing government shutdowns, like pet beavers in suburban homes who are still driven to build dams however and whenever possible

Trump v Anderson was every bit as wrong as Plessy or Korematsu.

I broke the story yesterday that masked ICE agents (not DOJ) were removing items including a personal computer from the home of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot Renee Good. I have yet to see a single news outlet cover this or an elected official even acknowledge it.

A photo of Renee Nicole Good with the following quote: "Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known. She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being." Mother of Renee Nicole Good, the U.S. citizen shot and killed by an ICE agent on January 7, 2026

Yesterday, an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good.

We know what we saw: A mother, a daughter, a wife, and a U.S. citizen killed in her own community.

That's Right - It's Emoria's First Annual THING OF THE YEAR Threadspaloozaganzarama.

I only get one pick from each category. The deliberation session is sweaty and hours long and leads to friendships forever broken. But we come away with a list of some things I thought were cool. So. Worth it.

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

We must send Americans to The Hague over this.

The weirdest thing about llm/education people are acting like doing paper exams, a thing I did when I went to college less than a decade ago (graduated 2019) is some radical idea that would completely reshape education

Case 8:25-cv-00951-PX Document 211-3 Filed 07/02/25 Page 22 of 40 114. Inmates in CECOT are confined to their cells for 23.5 hours daily and cannot go outdoors. They are denied access to reading materials, including even letters from friends or family. Inmates are prohibited from receiving visits from family and friends. Meals are provided through the bars, and the facility enforces strict regulations to maintain order. See Ex. H. 115. In May 2023, Cristosal, a leading human rights organization in El Salvador, released a comprehensive report detailing severe human rights abuses within the country's prison system, especially CECOT. See Ex. I. The investigation documented the deaths of 153 inmates between March 27, 2022, and March 27, 2023, attributing many to torture, beatings, mechanical asphyxiation (strangulation), and lack of medical attention. Id. Autopsies revealed common patterns of lacerations, hematomas, sharp object wounds, and signs of choking or strangulation. Id. Survivors reported being forced to pick food off the floor with their mouths, subjected to electric shocks, and exposed to untreated skin fungus epidemics. Id. Cristosal's director has emphasized that these systemic violations have become state policy. Id. 116. Plaintiff Abrego Garcia reports that he was subjected to severe mistreatment upon arrival at CECOT, including but not limited to severe beatings, severe sleep deprivation, inadequate nutrition, and psychological torture 117. Plaintiff Abrego Garcia was the first name called to disembark the plane that transported him to El Salvador on March 15, 2025. As he exited the aircraft, still in chains, two officials grabbed his arms and pushed him down the stairs, forcing his head down. 118. There were strong lights illuminating the area despite it being nighttime, and cameras were filming the detainees' arrival. 119. Plaintiff Abrego Garcia was pushed toward a bus, forcibly seated, and fitted with a second set of chains and handcuffs. He was repe…

Here’s Abrego Garcia’s amended complaint.

It alleges that Abrego Garcia “was subjected to severe mistreatment upon arrival at CECOT, including but not limited to severe beatings, severe sleep deprivation,
inadequate nutrition, and psychological torture..”

It's hard to avoid recalling this passage from the English historian Tony Judt:

The impossible has become possible: we've passed a clean CEQA infill exemption. This is probably the most important thing California has done on housing in the present YIMBY moment.

Iran’s stockpile dropped to 0 after Obama made the Iran Deal… until Trump pulled out of it (against the advice of his own Defense Secretary, General Mattis… because he hated Obama)

Feels pretty relevant in this moment.

Is this going to be the premise of the Community reboot?

They are destroying one of the greatest advantages the United States has enjoyed for the last 80 years

This also emphasizes that their objection is to *all* immigrants not just “illegal” immigrants

“The pope will be from Chicago” sounds like an 1880s Republican’s dire prediction for if we don’t stop Irish immigration

“chicago pope” is one of the shows jack donaghy greenlit when he was tanking nbc

I was 22 in 2016 and my high school teachers taught us as a matter of historical fact that Richard Nixon was the greatest president in American history

If Nathan Fielder had been born like 50 years earlier, before there were ethics rules, he would be one of the most famous social psych researchers of the 20th century

I'd love to see a movement in left legal circles to locate the immigration power in the commerce and necessary and proper clauses, rather than being inherent to the sovereign, and thus subject to all the normal constitutional restraints rather than our weird weird quasi-constitutional system

the fact that there are many details in the report that are just observably false is a good reason news organizations could, if they wanted to, deny it the presumption of proof and cover the president's health as if it's a scandalous question

Really and truly, if I could communicate anything about history it's that genuine dumbasses can be key historical agents, and that has pretty massive implications for how we make sense of the past and present both.

The History Books Purged From the Naval Academy's Library The Trump administration is engaged in something much worse than book burning. It is attempting to burn down the entire cultural infrastructure that supports the pursuit of history.

i think we should be more alarmed about this kind of thing as an ideological data point indicating who is actually running the country
