I love marketing. I hate how digital marketing tramples on people's right to control their online experiences. I am doing something about it through new tech, reporting & vigilance. trustwebtimes.com

Listening is one of the most underrated virtues. It not only shows your acknowledgment that the speaker is seen but it's amazing how much you can learn. I went from being a life-long libertarian to being a humanist when I was 73 because I listened. #academicsky #following #news #econsky

Unconditional basic income works. We have the studies. We have the data. What we don't have yet is the will. I think we can build it. I know we have to try. I know we have to fight for it. It's certainly not going to be handed to us by those who will definitely pay more in taxes as part of the deal.

The deeper meaning behind "almost no healthy children die of the measles" is that, when children do die of the measles, it's only ever because they were already ill. And the deeper meaning behind that is "well, we can't save 'em all." And that's just...17th century thinking.

KEY TAKEAWAY: Supreme Court is UNANIMOUS in requiring due process: - Roberts majority: Trump admin MUST give notice and time to challenge in court. - Kavanaugh concurrence: Judicial review available - Sotomayor dissent: All 9 agree deportations without due process are illegal.
The detainees' rights against summary removal, however, are not currently in dispute. The Government expressly agrees that "TA members subject to removal under the Alien Enemies Act get judicial review." Reply in Support of Application To Vacate 1. "It is well established that the Fifth Amendment entitles aliens to due process of law" in the context of removal proceedings. Reno
v. Flores, 507 U. S. 292, 306 (1993). So, the detainees are entitled to notice and opportunity to be heard "appropriate to the nature of the case." Mullane v. Central Hanover
Bank & Trust Co., 3 U.S. 306, 313 (1950). More specifi-cally, in this context, AEA detainees must receive notice after the date of this order that they are subject to removal under the Act. The notice must be afforded within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs.JUSTICE KAVANAUGH, concurring.
I agree with the Court's per curiam opinion. Importantly, as the Court stresses, the Court's disagreement with the dissenters is not over whether the detainees receive judicial review of their transfers-all nine Members of the Court agree that judicial review is available. The only question is where that judicial review should occur. That venuetoo do we all agree with the per curiam's command that the Fifth Amendment requires the Government to afford plaintiffs "notice after the date of this order that they are subject to removal under the Act, ... within reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs." Ante, at 3. That means, of course, that the Government cannot usher any detainees, including plaintiffs, onto planes in a shroud of secrecy, as it did on March 15, 2025. Nor can the Government "immediately resume" removing individuals without notice upon vacatur of the TRO, as it promised the D. C. Circuit it would do. See 2025 WL 914682, *13 (Millett, J., concurring) (referencing oral argument before that court). To the extent the Government removes even one individual without affording him notice and a meaningful opportunity to file and pursue habeas relief, it does so in direct contravention of an edict by the United States Supreme Court.
