it's obvious why Wall Street would want to buy a stake in the *federal* student loan portfolio -- it's a special kind of debt that can't be waived away in a personal bankruptcy

shifting debt from govt to the market would also crush borrower assistance possibilities

Trump is someone uniquely vulnerable to AI cyberpsychpsis because he’s already a machine made out of television equipment

the right accuses us of "Trump Derangement Syndrome" but the thing is that perceiving the Trump administration is like gazing into Yog-Sothoth's eldritch form. The only way not to be deranged by it is to actively refuse to perceive it, which is the right's preferred approach to anything inconvenient

There is a Mishima quote I like using -- "the special quality of hell is to see everything clearly down to the last detail." It seems to be the only way of really conveying the psychic damage of perceiving the administration and the forces behind it

NEW: By a 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to cancel Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan migrants.

KBJ, dissenting, says she "cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference" while "lives hang in the balance."
www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
I view today's decision as yet another grave misuse of our emergency docket. This Court should have stayed its hand. Having opted instead to join the fray, the Court plainly mis- judges the irreparable harm and balance-of-the-equities factors by privileging the bald assertion of unconstrained executive power over countless families’ pleas for the sta- bility our Government has promised them. Because, re- spectfully, I cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference with cases pending in the lower courts while lives hang in the balance, I dissent.

"Faced with a choice between long-standing practice and black-letter federal law on one hand and Trump’s vague and abstract policy suggestions on the other, the Supreme Court essentially chose the most lawless path available to it."
The Supreme Court Is Creating a King
A recent ruling takes a hammer to our constitutional order and empowers Trump above all else—including Congress.
