They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

Here’s new and irrefutable evidence from the Epstein files that Howard Lutnick made false statements and was misleading about his interactions with Jeffrey Epstein. It hasn’t yet caused a storm. So please give it a read and share widely.

BREAKING - A 3-judge panel of the US Court of International Trade has just INVALIDATED Trump's tariffs. Says Trump CANNOT use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 to unilaterally impose tariffs; that power belongs to Congress. MORE TK storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Per Curiam:  The Constitution assigns Congress the exclusive powers to “lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises,” and to “regulate Commerce with foreign Nations.”  U.S. Const. art. I, § 8, cls. 1, 3.  The question in the two cases before the court is whether the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (“IEEPA”) delegates these powers to the President in the form of authority to impose unlimited tariffs on goods from nearly every country in the world.  The court does not read IEEPA to confer such unbounded authority and sets aside the challenged tariffs imposed thereunder.

The Wisconsin statute is plain. You cannot offer anything of value to any elector to dissuade or induce them to vote. Period. It prohibits the same with respect to going to the polls for a particular candidate. There’s no innocent explanation for what Musk is doing now to get voters to the polls.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

The video of Trump’s deportees arriving in El Salvador is horrific. This is 21st century Nazism. Identities concealed, trafficked to a foreign labour camp. No due process, no evidence of crime. Dehumanised. Where is the global outrage? The crime is historic; the normalisation catastrophic.

resharing with alt text. truly terrifying shit in addition to my fear, I feel fury both at the perpetrators and all the facilitators who greased the wheels
Amy E. Greer is an associate at Dratel & Lewis and issues this statement:

Last night ICE agents wrongfully arrested Mahmoud Khalil, claiming his student visa was revoked -- even though Mahmoud is legal permanent resident (green card) and not in the U.S. on a student visa. Confronted with that fact, the ICE agents detained him anyway. Overnight we filed a habeas corpus petition on Mahmoud's behalf challenging the validity of his arrest and detention. Currently we do not know Mahmoud's precise whereabouts. Initially we were informed this morning that he had been transferred to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, New Jersey. However, when his wife -- a U.S. citizen who is eight months' pregnant and was threatened with arrest as well by the ICE agents last night -- tried to visit him there today, she was told he is not detained there. We have subsequently received reports that Mahmoud may s be transferred as far away as Louisiana. We will vigorously be pursuing Mahmoud's rights in court, and will continue our efforts to right this terrible and inexcusable - and calculated - wrong committed against him. 

ICE's arrest and detention of Mahmoud follows the U.S. government's open repression of student activism and political speech, specifically targeting students at Columbia University for criticism of Israel's assault on Gaza. The U.S. government has made clear that they will use immigration enforcement as a tool to suppress that speech. Many individuals and organizations have expressed support for Mahmoud and outrage at the government's conduct, and have offered their assistance in the legal proceedings. Mahmoud greatly appreciates all of that support, as do we.
