The Trump admin has lied about this case from the start — and now it can't get its story straight about next steps for Mr. Abrego Garcia.

This reeks of a political prosecution and the courts must continue to ensure his due process rights are protected.

finally saw that wonderful Jane Goodall clip and I can’t tell you how delighted I am to learn that in addition to being a genius and a pure soul and a phenomenal advocate and a cultural revolutionary, she was also a hater

the interviewer goes “are there people in the world you don’t like?” in this tone of voice that sort of implies “surely not you, Jane Goodall, patron saint of the natural world,” but oh no she was IMMEDIATELY ready with a list of names

Link is an IRL colleague and friend; his values and commitment to those values is beyond reproach. Through her actions, @jay.bsky.team continues to demonstrate her values are rotten.

Suspending Link after he pointed out the how following Jonathan Chait after being accused of transphobia does not allow you to beat the transphobia allegations. In fact, it does the opposite.

To be clear: suspending Link was certainly a choice. And we know what KIND of choice it is.

race scientist jack skellington @jazzpomegranate.com · 4d

so now link is suspended with no email

It's bad enough if President Trump is demanding authoritarian powers in violation of the Constitution ...

But if his unelected aides are manipulating him to get their own authoritarian policies in place, that's sort of a bigger deal.

Hunter @hunterub.bsky.social · 4d

This feels like evidence Trump's aides are deliberately gaslighting him, which is unfortunately very easy to do with dementia sufferers (Trump did it to his father) and which aides are using to seize control of the US military for their own purposes.

The protests are on one block. Nothing is burning down. His justification for sending in troops is all based on lies.
