He is explicitly calling for pogroms. (I ask again: at what point will our major news organizations finally acknowledge that he is either mentally ill or a vile racist or both?)

Guilfoyle's corruption is so shockingly transparent that it seems to have almost slid into the background how COMPLETELY INSANE it is that a lawyer voluntarily publicized such self-incriminating material (even considering his four bar suspensios).

This really seems like sanctionable conduct from DOJ. It’s very hard to imagine any of the lawyers involved believing in good faith that these documents are responsive to the court’s order. Rather, they seem calculated to mislead.

half, Mr. Khalil has been a mediator, an active participant in, and at times the public face

repeatedly threatened to weaponize immigration law to punish noncitizens who have
participated.PRAYER FOR RELIEF

Assume jurisdiction over this matter;
2)
Vacate and set aside Respondents' unlawful Policy of targeting noncitizens
for removal based on First Amendment protected speech advocating for

Enjoin Respondents from transferring the Petitioner from the jurisdiction
of this
District pending these proceedings;
Order the immediate release of Petitioner pending these proceedings;
Order the release of Petitioner;
Declare that Respondents' actions to arrest and detain Petitioner violate the
First Amendment and the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment;
Award reasonable attorneys' fees and costs for this action; and
Grant such further relief as the Court deems just and proper.

"Because of public skepticism, it is not settled science" is a profoundly anti-scientific view. It's embracing the notion that grifters can overcome truth with sheer volume, that truth itself isn't based in observable reality but in the scope of consensus.

Starlink’s value proposition is as the broadband provider of last resort. Most of its potential customers have no other options if Musk interferes or cuts them off, as he has threatened to do. This has an enormous negative impact on the value of Starlink and its corporate parent, SpaceX.

Consultants see a branding problem, when really it’s an infrastructure problem. The right has influencers and crowds that work together, and get algorithmic lift. The left does not have a platform that is “theirs”, nor a plan to organize across them. So it keeps trying to work top-down.
