A few weeks ago I launched "Figures", a daily number puzzle inspired by the NYT's short-lived Digits game. The idea came from a video of a toddler solving math problems on Countdown. I built my own spin on the concept to bring it back to life. Play it here: figuresgame.com

AOC during Zohran for Mayor rally: "There are people out there who say, 'If you go out and make this endorsement, your political career will be over.' And to that I say: I don't care. We will never get to a better place if everyone is just worried about themselves. If it's over, so be it."

Speechless. The 5th and 14th amendment explicitly say that there MUST be a hearing, amongst a slew of other rights afforded by procedural due process. The fact a secretary of the US govt said this and folks are not outraged and in the streets is just bonkers atp. Living in hell rn.

I was certainly no threat. I asked my congressperson what his red line was to finally, vocally oppose the lawless administration and he didn’t answer the question, so I called out for him to answer it and he had me removed. This is what the ISA has come to. The constitution is in shreds.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if there is NEW evidence that would change a determination *already made by a judge*, the government needs to present it in that court and get the determination changed. Re-litigating a judge's determination based on old evidence on TV isn't due process

You really see the incentive trap with the Bukele stuff; this is objectively extremely important, from the standpoint of liberal democracy it is one of the worst things the administration is doing, and politically there is essentially *no* serious constituency for loudly opposing it. Bad IMO!

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.
