I make about $50k a year, which isn’t a whole lot but thankfully more than I need. Instead of using my disposable income for fun things, I’ll pouring some into mutual aid and local charities because five fucking congressmen took a buy out from billionaires.

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.
The President of the United States just threatened to have me arrested, stripped of my citizenship, put in a detention camp and deported. Not because I have broken any law but because I will refuse to let ICE terrorize our city.

His statements don’t just represent an attack on our democracy but an attempt to send a message to every New Yorker who refuses to hide in the shadows: if you speak up, they will come for you. We will not accept this intimidation.

That Trump included praise for Eric Adams in his authoritarian threats is unsurprising, but highlights the urgency of bringing an end to this Mayor’s time in City Hall. At the very moment when MAGA Republicans are attempting to destroy the social safety net, kick millions of New Yorkers off of healthcare and enrich their billionaire donors at the expense of working families, it is a scandal that Eric Adams echoes this President’s division, distraction and hate. 

Voters will resoundingly reject it in November.

Just saw a NYPost headline complaining scornfully that Gen Z adults are taking classes in basic life skills and I mean--of course they are? You didn't prepare them for anything because no child left behind gutted their schooling and eradicated classes like home ec in favor of standardized testing?

Mahmoud Khalil’s continued detention in Louisiana has posed significant problems for his defense in his habeas corpus case, his lawyers say in a new filing. The nearest large cities are more than 4 hours away, and visits occur “in a cramped, closet-sized space with only a single chair for counsel.”
Dear Judge Farbiarz,
Petitioner Mahmoud Khalil thanks the Court for its May 21 order, ECF 262, and writes to
update the Court about various structural barriers to his access to counsel and witnesses, as those
relate to his fully-briefed motions for release pending adjudication of his habeas corpus petition,
see, e.g., ECF 91 at 22, and to compel his return to New Jersey, ECF 11 and 96. To be clear,
Petitioner respectfully submits this update, but seeks no new relief by way of this letter.
Petitioner’s need to request a federal court’s intervention last week illustrates how Mr.
Khalil’s continued detention at the Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center in Jena during the
pendency of this matter in this Court in New Jersey impedes his meaningful access to his habeas
counsel and to witnesses—including his own spouse—who would assist in his prosecution of his
habeas case.
To begin with, it has been enormously difficult for counsel to arrange in-person legal
visitation or to communicate remotely with Mr. Khalil fully and effectively. Louisiana’s great
distance from New Jersey and Mr. Khalil’s attorneys itself poses significant problems, along with
the limitation of virtual meetings, which complicates even the simplest lawyering act of reviewing
legal documents with an incarcerated client. But the specific location of the Jena facility itself has
compounded those significant hurdles, even when counsel attempts to arrange out-of-town visits
there. The nearest airport, hotels, and rental car facilities are in Alexandria, approximately one
hour away, and the nearest large cities (New Orleans, Dallas, and Houston) are more than a fourhour drive away. Moreover, the small size of the Alexandria airport means that travel from the
greater New Jersey region is complicated and costly to rearrange at the last minute.When in-person visitation in Jena does occur, that access is insufficient to allow habeas
counsel to properly consult with and advise Mr. Khalil. It also pales in comparison to the access
that Mr. Khalil would maintain to habeas counsel if he were detained in New Jersey. The
government confirmed in its May 21 declaration that there is no regular space for counsel to have
contact legal visitation with Mr. Khalil at the facility in Jena. See ECF No. 263-1 ¶ 10 (noting that
all visitation spaces at Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center have plexiglass dividers).
Visitation typically occurs in a cramped, closet-sized space with only a single chair for counsel.
That the Jena facility made a one-time exception to those rules for a contact legal visit with several
immigration counsel last week, see ECF 258 at 1, stands in stark contrast to how visits would take
place at a detention facility closer to this Court. In fact, throughout May, several attorneys from
CLEAR, one of the legal organizations representing Mr. Khalil in this case, met with a client held
at the Elizabeth Detention Center (EDC) since April. Those meetings occurred under normal EDC rules, in a legal visitation space where contact and document-sharing were permitted. Because
regular, in-person, contact visitation, with the ability to share and review legal documents with a
client, is essential both to maintaining a meaningful attorney-client relationship and to effective
communication, even frequent, regularly scheduled video teleconferences are not an adequate
substitute.
Finally, last week’s events underscore that the human costs of Mr. Khalil’s detention in
Louisiana, now in its third month, continue to mount. After the government denied him the
opportunity to be present for his son’s birth and his wife’s recovery, Mr. Khalil seeks at minimum
the chance to form his own physical bond with his son—an opportunity that release or even
detention at EDC provides, but continued detention at CLIPC in Jena does…

The RFK Jr. version of health, where health creates health and healthy people don't get sick and the thing that keeps you healthy is /living the right way/ is very seductive to a lot of people. It also places the burden of illness back on the ill, which decreases the value of human life.

Trump just finished his last first 100 days in office, and now he’s an unpopular lame-duck president. We put together a toolkit that makes it easy to share news about Trump's most unpopular policies and biggest failures: app.sosha.ai/toolkit/trum...
A screengrab of the SoSha toolkit:

(around images of Trump) “Trump is historically unpopular — Trump has broken his own record for the lowest presidential approval rating at the 100-day mark.”

“Economic pessimism at 24-year high — Trump Slump: For the first time since 2001, a majority of Americans say their financial situation is getting worse.”

“Most Americans oppose Trump’s immigration policies — Trump's handling of immigration drops underwater after Democrats fight back against ICE overreach and violations of civil liberties.”
