3/4. If we accept the idea that moving a person from one place to another undoes rights and disempowers the judiciary, we are endorsing the basic Nazism practice that enabled the killing of millions.

2/4. The entire practice of the Holocaust of the Jews involved zones of statelessness. It is easier to move people away from law than it is to remove law from people. Almost all of the killing took place in artificially created stateless zones.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Despite admitting to having illegally sent a guy to El Salvador by mistake, and even though the U.S. is paying El Salvador to indefinitely imprison him, the DOJ is arguing that, well, nothing to do, it's not in our hands anymore. The general tone of their response is "welp, sucks to be him."

This is a sad but interesting question. How many grad students will leave and where, if anywhere will they go ?
Live here and am in grad school here. I have one class where 13 out of the 15 in it are leaving the state or country at end of semester.
That funding loss will really impact the summer where the population is half that so it’s about $2k per person.

It’s a bummer that “Americanism” is often accompanied by anti-intellectualism. Bummer how ignorance is a source of pride in the US.

I read this essay this morning. I cried. How beautiful!
Yiyun Li’s new book — from which this essay is excerpted — is one of the most beautifully controlled expressions of grief and anger and abyss I’ve ever read.
The Deaths—and Lives—of Two Sons
The truth is that however I choose to express myself will not live up to the weight of these facts: Vincent died, and then James died.

Dont finance the people that want to destroy you and the democracies. Buy goods from friends and allies and use your consumer power. No one should ever buy a Tesla again - lots of cars to choose between - also electric.
We cannot be depending on Starlink -need good alternatives asap.

Use alternatives to Tesla EV charging – Choose non-Tesla Supercharger networks where possible.
Don’t buy Tesla vehicles, solar panels, or batteries. If you own a Tesla, consider trading it for another brand. Selling your used Tesla may keep someone from buying a new Tesla - so double benefit!
