SCOTUS looked at the harm of people being dumped in foreign lands, and the harm of the government not being able to disappear people… and sided with the government.

“Stay-at-home mothers of young children voted for Trump over Harris by a 32-point margin.” I wonder what the party affiliation of this group is? Would love to read something about how they feel about their vote for Trump (mass deportations, racial re-segregation,etc) in 2026? #BlueWave #2026Vote

#SaturdayNightMovie was “Toy Story 5” (2026, Dir: Andrew Stanton). All the old voice talents return (Tom Hanks, Joan Cusack, Tim Allen) with newbies Conan O’Brien & Greta Lee. The screenplay includes some sophisticated observations on social media, tech adoption, allyship, and the dignity of work.

To the lefties who could not get themselves to vote for Harris, part of this is on you. There are two choices in elections – the Democrat or the Republican. If you are a progressive and you refuse to vote for the Democrat, you hurt yourself and your causes. edition.cnn.com/2026/09/26/w...

As an LGBTQ elder who’s been fighting for our rights since the AIDS crisis, it is my duty to dole out tough love when members of our own community are harming themselves or our community. And telling people not to vote Dem when we’ve already lost rights in GOP states YEARS AGO is harming us all.

#SaturdayNightMovie was “The History of Sound” (dir. Oliver Hermanus, 2025) starring Josh O’Connor and Paul Mescal as two musicians who collect/record folk songs in rural Maine in 1919. Based on an award-winning short story by Paul Shattuck, the movie is slow, but emotionally devastating. 9/10.

Trump banning media outlets from the WH over their coverage is unlikely to affect their reporting much, but it is yet another example of how the right wing definition of “free speech” is that they can say what they want and you can say what they want.
