My mind went to all the Friendsgivings I've gone to over the years and the beautiful, weird, black sheep gathered there and everywhere else in cities. In a city it's Friendsgiving every day and that's why we moved there and that's why we love it.

Part 1: "This was the frat guys’ shared experience, their most intense form of bonding." "Thirtysome years and two waves of rape awareness later, cluelessness continues to prevail.[...]There is something genuinely uncanny about this learning curve that keeps swallowing its own tail."

If the President can successfully order the IRS to hand over billions of dollars to his personal bank account, the Constitution is dead and no longer operative. I'm not kidding. We've crossed a kind of Rubicon and the social contract is null and void.

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors
or surrender accepted;
(2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such
that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted;
(3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable
ability to accept surrender would exist;
(4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate
forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and
(5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

This blatant xenophobic racism against an entire group of immigrants is unacceptable, and every member of Congress who cheered it is a horrifying stain on America.
