Disappeared to a Foreign Prison
The Trump Administration is deporting people to countries they have no ties to, where many are being detained indefinitely or forcibly returned to the places they fled. Sarah Stillman reports.

There’s a wonderful Ubisoft NFT exec interview where he basically said gamers, their customers, were uneducated and just didn’t understand NFTs.
Several years later, they’ve flushed millions down the toilet on failed NFT projects that gamers who said they wouldn’t buy indeed didn’t buy.

There is no good reason for Trump to be involved in Ukraine negotiations.
Europe pays everything; Trump pays nothing.
Epstein emails and new leaks also prove Trump is compromised and under Russian blackmail, while Witkoff clearly backs Moscow over the US and Ukraine.
Trump out!

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

President Trump is demanding that the Justice Department pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him.
Whether he gets paid will ultimately be up to DOJ's second-in-command, who was recently his personal lawyer.

I'd list all the things Jack Posobiec is known for, but I think it would get me banned on Bluesky in the current environment of automated moderation.
Let's just say he has an extensive page at the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Anyway, CBS News is talking with Posobiec about his friend Charlie Kirk.

🧵 @jcbslide.bsky.social 's reply reflects a common but crucial misunderstanding: that democracy simply is civil liberties and fair procedures. But rights alone don’t guarantee democratic legitimacy. What matters is whether the public can meaningfully participate in truth, power, and accountability.
Our Democracy is freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, and the right to a fair trial. Eliot, what about democracy needs to be changed? The consent of the governed? Separation of powers? Private ownership & capitalism maybe? Don’t back seat drive. Share.
It's not that politics is being done wrong, it's that democracy is being done wrong. If he don't fix the latter, the former just becomes performance.

*tax cuts for rich pay for themselves
*safety net cuts needed to purge welfare cheats

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
