So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS won’t agree to send him there because it’s not cruel enough.

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

For weeks, Mr. Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who is married to a U.S. citizen, has made clear that he would not challenge his deportation if he were sent to Costa Rica, which has promised him legal residency and guaranteed that he would not be sent back to El Salvador.

But the Trump administration has refused to deport him to Costa Rica, and in an earlier hearing this week, Judge Xinis pressed the administration to consider the option or clarify why it was unacceptable.

The US is a straight-up police state, more egregious than the vast majority of ‘totalitarian regimes’ we (in the Global North) grew up being warned about.

Picture the Feds took with supposed Latin Kings leader (whose wife says he’s being framed) is 100% inspired by the IDF

It’s actually incredible that as a society we never managed to find the political will to force elected officials to tell the truth on TV.

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Honestly, I went from being annoyed to being sad after reading the article

I can't imagine being so pathetic that I need an LLM to write messages for me because I'm that far removed from basic human connection

Reading Thiel, Yarvin, Peterson et al. makes you realise what passes for intellectual iconoclasm these days is all absolute bollocks. Why anyone gives any of these people the time of day let alone credibility is baffling.

Right? I am flabbergasted by this. I don't think most non-Catholics can really understand what a HUGE deal it is to remove the monstrance from its church.

People (mostly white lets be frfr) are paying to climb a mountain that wants to kill you

If we were living under fascism, none of you would be here daring to post things. You'd be erasing your social media accounts and keeping your head down; you'd know that peacocking your faux-bravery on a network would expose you to being disappeared.
You have no idea what "fascism" really means.

shane @mouthfulofcavities.bsky.social · 7d

the regime is zip tying toddlers and ripping them away from their mothers unclothed... calling it fascism upsets this neo-con.

The Senate Intelligence Authorization Act contains a major change that would allow the CIA’s top lawyer to avoid the Senate confirmation process. In an era of creeping authoritarianism this could hasten the Intelligence Community’s use as a tool of political espionage. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
