The fight for constitutional democracy in the U.S. is not only being waged by progressives. There are people, like the judge in A.M.A.S., whose policy views are almost certainly antithetical to progressivism who are nevertheless not caving to the Republican Fascists. Such people are going to be […]

In September, the plaintiff filed a new complaint alleging that his removal to Equatorial Guinea with no notice and therefore no opportunity to assert credible fear of persecution there violated his federal constitutional right to due process. He also made some other, related claims. 6/

Two days after plaintiff filed for habeas, before the court ruled, ICE forcibly put plaintiff on a plane to Equatorial Guinea, with no notice to him. Equatorial Guinea is a cesspool of human rights abuses. Along with others sent there by the Trump regime, A.M.A.S has been subject to physical and […]

I met a traveler from an inland state
Who said: Two vast and humming racks of steel
Stand in the cornfield. Near them, on the plain,
Half buried in weed, a broken server face lies,
Its stilled fans, its dulled and blinking lights,
Tell that its builders knew the hype well
Which once ran through these halls, now cold and still,
The hands that fed them and the minds that made:
And on the switchroom wall these words remain:
“My name is Jensen Huang, CEO of CEOs:
Look on my cloud compute, ye Mighty, and despair!”
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that great digital ruin, boundless and bare
The autumn fields stretch flat and far away.

A developer offered a Navajo-led water nonprofit $10,000 — but only if it dropped its opposition to his Black Mesa hydropower project. They said no. The Nation said no. Regulators denied 3 of his earlier projects for never seeking the Nation's consent.
