Oy, I don't have hours to do this. But to take one example: Is human nature fixed? Conservatives (think Madison and "if men were angels") think so. Progressives think they can mold people into better people with institutions. (They might be right, in some areas.)

If you‘ve studied history, you know what Trump and his fellow fascists are doing in Minnesota. They’re calling Somali Americans “garbage” and “enemy combatants“ because fascists need to create enemies and foment hate to excite their sick supporters.

There’s a grim irony in the fact that the poster that sealed Melekhin’s fate included the words, "All that is needed for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing." He was referring to Putin’s Russia. He could have been referring to, you know.

People keep asking if Trump gets impeached again. I ran the first campaign to impeach him, so I don't guess. Monday he told a rally "Let them take out Los Angeles." My answer is in writing. It's short. One word is "damn."

Nicaragua is able to consolidate its dictatorship because the regime is in bed with Trump, accepting deportees; allowing certain agencies / interests to operate. Venezuela’s regime is also in bed with Trump. Expecting Mexico to intervene in a obvious US operation is nonsensical.

While this hearing didn't proceed, it's clear the Trump admin is continuing what a judge has called a "vindictive prosecution" of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. As I said from day 1, if they can do this to Kilmar, they can do it to anyone. We'll keep fighting this political persecution.
