"I stumble into town
Just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone"
China Girl by David Bowie

🌅He was just a hired hand
Workin' on the dreams he planned to try
The days go by...

Every night when the sun goes down
Just another lonely boy in town
And she's out runnin' 'round
🎶 If I was the king of the world
Tell you what I'd do
I'd throw away the cars and the bars and the wars
And make sweet love to you

I’ve heard from immigration attorneys that clients say ICE guards lay out the WRAP device (essentially a full-body straitjacket) on the tarmac as a threat — “do what we say or you’re getting the WRAP on the whole flight.”

And here’s proof, from Seattle livestream today via @lalabote.bsky.social.

In court filings, migrants have said in sworn statements that they’ve been put in the WRAP for “unruly” behavior like asking to speak to their attorney.

It's heartening the leadership firewall against any talk of impeachment is breaking down, because it's so delusionally out of touch with reality. Either you mean what you say about the current anti-constitutional crime spree or you don't, and if you do, impeachment is the unavoidable implication.
Yes, I'm taking the first step towards Noem's impeachment.

I demand a full investigation into Secretary Noem's unlawful actions and unethical behavior. The people will have accountability.

Trumpers envisioned the torment of Abrego Garcia as a showcase for their lawlessness and assault on constitutional protections, and a demonstration that resistance was futile
But due to the efforts of advocates, legislators and lawyers -- and resolute adherence to the law by judges -- they've failed
Remarkable how brutal the ruling against Trump on Abrego Garcia truly is: It details flagrant and malicious abuses of power all throughout. Trump and Stephen Miller were testing their ability to spread lawless state terror. But the court held the line. 1/

Judge Paula Xinis’s ruling temporarily freed Kilmar Abrego Garcia from custody. It also savagely indicted Trump’s lawless handling of this whole affair from start to finish.

SCOOP: The Trump administration is providing the names of all travelers passing through U.S. airports to immigration officials in search of people with deportation orders, a substantial expansion of government efforts to draw on data to hunt down immigrants.

In the last few weeks, I’ve become increasingly convinced that Trump and his regime are totally cooked.

They can only stay in power by stealing elections—but they can only do that if enough people are willing to help them.

They’re in a downward spiral and can’t pull themselves out of it.

This is basically the core misery at the heart of the current RW movement. A complete lack of human feelings or emotions, just raw unfiltered sociopathic behavior the entire way down.
ultimately, no one even grieved Charlie Kirk. he was just another thing for the worst people on earth to get outraged over. and when the outrage of real events wasn't enough, they invented new ones.

not even his wife saw his death as anything other than an opportunity.
my read is they were trying to whip up the usual frenzy, but then the effort got blown up by Candace Owens saying The Jews did it

you could dig through thousands of stories from this "affordability" news cycle and not find a SINGLE ONE that lays any of the blame at the feet of consolidated corporate power or its relentless quest to completely defang regulatory oversight

not one!

It is hard to overstate how shallow and embarrassing the Washington Post Editorial Board's analysis is whenver it tries to write about the law. They don't make arguments so much as they crank out half-assed jumbles of buzzwords that they hope will make Jeff Bezos happy. Don't care for it at all!
The Washington Post Editorial Board Is Spectacularly Awful at Legal Analysis
Since Bezos overhauled the board earlier this year, it has been very good at cranking out billionaire-friendly propaganda. It is quite bad at everything else.
