Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

“concerns”
CBS News EIC Bari Weiss had concerns about the CECOT piece, I’m told. The network decided to hold the segment pending, among other things, comment or an interview with White House officials next year…

Washington Post's new headline is still wrong.
1. The release was not "huge."
2. DOJ missed the deadline to release all the files.
3, No mention of extensive redactions.

What the actual fuck? The DEADLINE was yesterday. Sure Dems, come on out and tell us how they broke the law by not releasing all the documents, redacting hundreds of pages, and adding photos of Bill Clinton that had nothing to do with Epstein. Where are the US Marshalls? The DEADLINE was yesterday.

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers.

So sad about Rob Reiner and Michele Singer
We are closing out tonight with a link to enjoy the legendary table read of The Princess Bride.
As long as we stick together we will find our way out of The Pit of Despair.
🖤RIP Rob and Michelle

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Just had an editing client try to quote "ChatGPT says" for the first time. About what Chicago Manual of Style says about spaces in ellipses. I told them I wouldn't argue with a plagiaristic, erroneous chatbot, so to never do that again, and sent them a photo of the actual relevant page of the CMOS.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

Pete Hague-seth seems to think the expression "The Fog of War" is literal. It is not. It is a metaphor, and one that would not excuse executing shipwrecked passengers you can clearly see on your video screen.
