On Aug 24, 1869, Ohio Rep. John Bingham, principal framer of the 14th amendment, gave a remarkable speech on “Equal Rights-Impartial Suffrage,” in which he said of those who sought to reject the principal of birthright citizenship, “no greater political atrocity than this can possibly be committed.”

One thing that doesn’t get talked about enough is how the far-right is an internationalist movement
one thing that has been obvious for a while is this aspect of the authoritarian internationale: they recognize that their allies abroad are not *countries* but *political movements* within foreign countries.
time we liberals woke up and recognized this--because it's the truth.

Or maybe, just maybe, what was obvious in 2024 was correct: Netanyahu fully backed Trump and would not deal with Biden because Trump would give him a free hand to escalate the starvation, bombing, and do full ethnic cleansing. Which he then did, until Netanyahu embarrassed him by bombing Qatar.

I guess San Diego local officials can't see the irony in how they pivoted from capping their ADU bonus program to creating a "safe parking lot for unhoused schoolchildren," but the grim irony shouldn't be lost on the rest of us.
Wild how normalized the words "safe parking lot for unhoused schoolchildren" have become in this country.
Safe parking lot for unhoused schoolchildren appears to have new lease on life
San Diego leaders move forward with a plan to help homeless students and their families with secure overnight parking at a former school in City Heights.

actual good-government reform is dead for a generation I’d bet. every surviving agency will be in angry defensive crouch because “reform” and “efficiency” will have become associated with innumerate-dipshit Maoism that let food aid rot in storage and threw away HIV medicine for imagined reasons.
This is a really terrific piece that reads like an American tragedy: a smart and curious young man interested in history and technology bought into the online far-right ideas about govt and used his talents to eviscerate it.

Trump, Miller, Noem et al are disappearing innocent people to a concentration camp to be tortured. They know this is what they're doing. Everyone who has touched this policy belongs in prison.
Those held at CECOT were forced to sleep on cold metal benches (mattresses were brought in for photo ops) and given a single water bucket for washing and drinking.
If anyone was seen washing themselves not at 4:00 AM, they were taken into a cell, tied to a chair, and beaten.
