The Trump admin submitted a sworn declaration under oath that Costa Rica had changed its mind and would no longer take Mr. Abrego.

Costa Rica has now said publicly that that this is false, that they have not changed their position at all, and that they will still take him.
Unpacked:
In Aug., Govt said if Abrego pled guilty he could go to Costa Rica, where he's okay with going. Abrego said no to plea. Govt now wants to send him to Liberia. Why not Costa Rica? Govt told judge Thurs that Costa Rica wouldn’t take him anymore. @mariasacchetti exposed them.
Costa Rica will accept Abrego, per @washingtonpost.com .
If true, DOJ, DHS, and Dept of State caused lies to be disseminated to Judge Xinis all day Thursday, where an ICE official testified about info sent him by Dept of State, claiming Costa Rica wouldn't take Abrego.

I am genuinely surprised that so many of the far-right European propaganda accounts turned out to be Americans pretending to be Europeans.

Does the Washington DC metro system need a ringbahn, a train route circling the city, to complement the current hub and spoke metro layout?

If so, where should the route be located?

Thousands and thousands of people are in this situation; giving up their cases and accepting deportation because they can't bear being in jail any longer.

In many ways, that is a major point of detention.
Don Lupe shared that one detained man who volunteered to be deported due to unbearable conditions had to wait months.

“This is a business and it is all about money,” Don Lupe said. “There are a lot of things that are inhumane. It is more beneficial for [the business] for him to be in prison.”
After 27 years in the U.S., Don Lupe was detained by ICE at his New Jersey workplace. His family and community fought to bring him home. His story shows the quiet, devastating toll these detentions take on families, and the growing rise of raids at NJ bonded warehouses. @documentedny.bsky.social

TIL that a MAMIL (Middle-Aged Man In Lycra) is a derogatory term for guys of a certain age who take up road cycling as a sport. But it's hard to imagine a less objectionable way to have your middle age crisis.

In 2019, Vance and Thiel summoned a dozen or so people to an inn in rural Ohio, located just outside the tiny town that would become the organization’s namesake.

Chris Buskirk put tech elites in power in Trump’s Washington. His efforts are grounded in a controversial theory — an ‘aristocracy’ is needed to move the country forward.

Two problematic science fiction tropes.

1. Interstellar, especially intergalactic, travel. Wagon Train In Space ain't gonna happen. Concentrate on preserving earth, not escaping it.

2. Time travel. We can't change the past, but we can avoid repeating the same mistakes. That's hard enough.
