I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford his basic needs like groceries with his basic income alone and that his job should pay for all the fun stuff because that's the point of a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.

We need more than just policy reforms in response. We need a broader idea of the society we want to create to match the right’s vision of the hierarchical ethnostate, and we need a commitment to pluralistic democracy that matches their fury.

One of the best new devices in OB/GYN, the JADA — which saved my wife from a scary post-partum bleed this spring — was developed *as a senior thesis* in 2011 by two ugrads in biomedical engineering at Cal Poly That‘s how much underinvestment there’s been, a senior thesis could disrupt it that much

I am stunned that the constitutional question was so close. I thought it would be 6–3 or 7–2. It is profoundly disturbing that four justices would allow either the president or Congress to rewrite the plain text of the 14th Amendment. This is obviously a good outcome, but the margin is alarming.
