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

This isn't anti-DEI - it's retelling history as a story with only white men in it. The tale of the Navajo Code Talkers is essential to understanding the Allies' victory in WWII. Removing it because the people involved were non-white is segregationism.

Another household kept alive by American aid was that of Jennifer Inyaa, a 35-year-old single mom, and her 5-year-old son, Evan Anzoo, both of them H.I.V.-positive. Last month, after the aid shutdown, Inyaa became sick and died, and a week later Evan died as well, according to David Iraa Simon, a community health worker who assisted them. Decisions by billionaires in Washington quickly cost the lives of a mother and her son. "Many more children will die in the coming weeks," said Margret Amjuma, a health worker who confirmed the deaths of Peter and Achol.

Take a moment today to read about a few of the young children whom Trump and Musk killed by shutting down USAID. The blame for these deaths falls on them.

There will be hundreds of thousands more dead kids before their lethal crusade against foreign aid ends. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I know parents and kids who were there today. I've seen posts from parents who have lost/are at risk of losing work due to illegal cuts to government begging friends to "please help us" and call their senators (DC has none) so their kids can continue to go to school. This is an abject moral failure.

Mickey 17 is easily Robert Pattinson's most Bill Hader performance yet

I know I'm like 6 months late on this take but Fear City, Kim Phillips-Fein's history of the 1970s NYC fiscal crisis, rather than The Power Broker, is the book you need to read to understand Megalopolis

Everyone knows about Early Voting I think we should also allow Late Voting. Still announce the winner on election day but the polls never close. You can still go vote at any time with full knowledge of how things are turning out, or even switch a vote you regret. Permanent no-confidence plebiscite

This is the most environmentalist financial product ever devised
