"If it all seems utterly stupid and terribly cruel and amazingly damaging to this country, it’s because it is."
Foreigners studying and working here are not damaging the United States. A virulently nativist administration is what’s damaging the United States.
A Permanent Stain on Our History
The Trump administration’s embrace of nativism is as shameful as it is self-destructive.

Tell me more about cognitive decline.
Trump reacts to Biden's cancer diagnosis: "The autopen is becoming a very big deal, because it seems like maybe that was the president, whoever operated the autopen. But when they say that that was not good, they also - you know, you have to look, and you have to say the test was not so good either"

My thoughts on @davidjbier.bsky.social's excellent @cato.org study showing that most Alien Enemies Act deportees had no criminal record and many (perhaps majority) entered US legally: reason.com/volokh/2025/...

These judges ruled against Trump. Then their families came under attack.
As federal judges rule against the Trump administration in dozens of politically charged cases, the families of at least 11 of the jurists have been targeted with threats and harassment. The intimidation campaign has strained judges and their relatives – and legal scholars fear it could have a chilling effect on the judiciary.
