Trump and Bukele claim they can't release anyone from CECOT

BUT THEY ALREADY HAVE: at least 9 detainees El Salvador released back to the US in the last 3 months

NINE other people freed. Why not Abrego Garcia, who's there on an "administrative error"?

Corporate executives are tempted to settle Trump’s frivolous lawsuits against their news companies to get on the administration’s good side. But they’re reportedly scared of getting sued if they do.

They should be. We explain why.

And you helped make that a possibility, NYT. Thanks for all the sane-washing. You abetted a human rights catastrophe. Well, multiple ones now. Well done. This is going to be your legacy from now on.

Anyone else watching the superb #commonsideeffects on Max?
Off-beat, smart, and very well acted, plus terrific quirky animation style. I don't think they've hyped this show at all, but if you like shows like #scavengersreign you'd like this one!

Come on, NPR. That's some *severe* sane-washing. You're better than that - report the news. "...Spent several weeks trying to weaponize the agency against Americans." That's the headline.

Genuinely interesting but also in deep contrast to a lot of the other reporting I've read. More people voted for people other than Trump then FOR Trump. That seems to be what all the reporting says. So logically, who was being voted for? A lot of people simply did "protest votes." That's the math.

Richard Tatum @richardtatum.bsky.social · Mar 9

Well that I do agree with. I don't know why they allow the GOP to bitch and whine about every dumb thing but they themselves take the high road when it matters. That is ABSOLUTELY a problem. No question. They still have better policy.

Richard Tatum @richardtatum.bsky.social · Mar 9

No. They've stayed center instead of continuing to move left, where - I agree - they would be a clearer contrast. Frustrating? 100% But it's not new news.

Richard Tatum @richardtatum.bsky.social · Mar 9

Way over reported. Yup - I didn't know what the fuck the Dems were doing either. Absolutely. But to equate them as the same as the opposition is pure delusion.
