It’s funny how wormy centrist men like Ezra Klein are the first to say we should be willing to compromise on women’s fundamental rights but the moment you suggest we tax billionaires to build some housing SUDDENLY you are a unreasonable radical.
Why does anyone listen to this?

I cannot stress enough how alarming this should be for anyone who cares about due process and the rule of law (and you should, from a purely self-interested standpoint.)
JD Vance holds a JD from Yale Law (and so do I). Presumably, he knows that he is disregarding the law here, and being deceptive about the protections it affords.
Non-citizens physically present in the United States, regardless of their immigration status, are entitled to due process protections under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. It is not relevant whether Kilmar Abrego Garcia is sympathetic, or how much you believe an (apparently shaky) claim from an informant that he had gang connections. The disposition of this case, based on a judge’s review of the facts, was to grant Abrego Garcia protected legal status, preventing his deportation. Abrego Garcia‘s due process rights, under the law, required the government to go back to immigration court and make the case, if they wanted to terminate that protected status. There is no good faith legal reading in which his right to due process was respected; indeed, the government has conceded that it erred, and is essentially arguing that it doesn’t matter enough to address it. This is because they assume people will not care. But everyone in the United States should care—we all depend on these basic legal rights being predictably upheld.
Coming on here just to say how interesting & thoughtful this episode is. It’s Patreon-only (for now??) but TBH it’s worth joining to hear it. *Especially* if you are thinking ugh, I don’t really want to go back & think about the pandemic... because that’s exactly what it’s about!
Anyone with a modicum of power at a university needs to be condemning this right now—not saying it's upsetting, not telling people to get mental health support if they're bothered by it, but saying it's wrong, and explaining how they will oppose it.
Chuck Schumer wants you to believe both that he can’t do things when he has the majority because of the filibuster and that he can’t stop things when he is in the minority despite the filibuster.
I cannot vote for the Republican plan to give unchecked power to Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
I told Arizonans I’d stand up when it was right for our state and our country, and this is one of those moments.
If the federal government can disappear a legal US permanent resident without reason or warrant, then they can disappear US citizens too.
Anyone - left, right, or center - who has highlighted the importance of constitutional rights + free speech should be sounding the alarm now.
