BREAKING: Judge James Boasberg rules for those deported under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15 — certifying a class, finding the U.S. maintained constructive custody over them at CECOT, finding they were not given due process, and ordering return or that such process be given by Jan. 5, 2026.

One of the Venezuelan men interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi for 60 Minutes said that guards at CECOT would routinely grab prisoners’ genitals with their hands and “tug on them” as a form of torture.

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

I feel like when this movie first came out, they advertised it like a silly Tim Allen movie. Then my dad and I watched it on a plane a few months later, and we were both blown away. My dad’s not a big movie fan, but he spent the next few weeks telling everybody how great it was. I am, and so did I!
Galaxy Quest - a perfect movie, just a wonderful love letter to actors, sci-fi, Star Trek in particular, and to fandom - really deserves a proper physical release with decent extras. Think Weaver's right that releasing a R-rated cut would be fun, too.

I don't like to share this, but I'm most likely descended from a signer of the Declaration... as are thousands of Black Americans. (It wasn't just Jefferson, most unfortunately.)

Black Americans don't count as American to MAGA unless we parrot their rhetoric. (And really, not even if we sell out.)

This is why I keep harping on about her. There are lots of shitty, unethical journalists. Plenty of people have had affairs with politicians.

But this affair knocked over a set of dominoes that set public health back 50 years. Children will die of preventable diseases because of her.

Reporter: We have 3 videos, 2 breathalyzers, 4 bartenders, and a minivan full of nuns attesting to how the driver was drunk and reckless when he hit the school bus.

Weiss; What did the driver say.

Reporter: He and his lawyer won’t talk. We asked them 5 times.

Weiss: I’m killing your story.

"Get the principals on camera" is such a telling phrase here, because it tells us that for Weiss there's no world in which the victims of these horrific actions can actually be seen as the subjects of the story: They're background noise, and the people who matter are the ones sending them.
Weiss concluded: “We need to be able to make every effort to get the principals on the record and on camera. To me, our viewers come first, not a listing schedule or anything else. And that is my North Star, and I hope it's the North Star of every person in this newsroom.”

A free press cannot function if the government is able to exercise veto power over critical reporting simply by refusing to engage.

The public has the right to question how CBS will ensure the independence and integrity of its journalism going forward.

Last week, Blue Owl (a private investment firm) pulled out of the $10bn Stargate Michigan data center. This is catastrophic for the industry - Blue Owl pulled together *all the money* that has gone into the biggest data center projects in the world.

Donald Trump's attacks on the IRS are good news for his billionaire buddies and giant tax prep companies — but bad news for everyone getting ready for tax season.

People rely on the IRS to file their taxes and get their refunds quickly and easily.

I'm pressing for answers.

In our district none of the 4th grade boys made the honors program. The district planned to cancel honors & do something for the boys. An attorney quietly explained all the ways they were breaking the law. It was nothing to take something away from the girls in order to help less studious boys.

So there's something happening (primarily on Twitter): right-wing commentators/influencers are straight up inventing a reality where "the left" has been completely owned by the fact that Bill Clinton is in the Epstein photos.

In case you need to hear it from someone who was raised Hindu: Usha is not a hostage, she is an accomplice. She is culpable. Fuck her and the fascists she colludes with. May she go down with all of them. As Zohran ably demonstrates, our communities do not aspire to whiteness & don’t seek to appease.
Vance's latest rant has set off another misguided round of "free Usha" rhetoric. This isn't just inaccurate--she's wholly a part of this fascist project--it's dangerous. We can no longer afford to imagine fascism as smaller than it is. Hindu fascism is vast, too. No religion is immune.
