Dems should be screaming that Trump's friend Putin is supplying the weapons killing American soldiers- and deisel Trump is buying is funding that Russian war machine. So anyone buying that Russian gas is helping kill American soldiers, not just Ukrainian ones. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Yes, because a lot of “leftists” are kids from right wing households, who realized they held a left-coded core position (usually lgbtq rights), but have never rethought any of what Fox News told them about liberals.

Low-hanging fruit for reporters and Dem trackers: ask a Republican running for office, "what would you do if you were in a car with your child and men in hoodies charged at you with guns drawn?" Follow up with "do you think it's reasonable for a parent in that situation to use lethal force?"

you are not going to exit an abusive system without understanding how it works to some extent (you do not need to understand "why" abuse happens though, in my experience), even if you leave it you'll be conditioned to recreate it or regard it as natural until you unpick it in your own mind

We would all have better conversations about Zionism if we viewed it as a nationalism like all others, akin to diaspora Serbian nationalism from Canadian Serbs. Not a civil rights or social justice cause, but also not a way Jewish people are abnormal or ontologically evil.

Will is 100% right. Has happened to multiple clients of mine. One judge (not my case) has said that this isn't really release and ordered the person *actually* released. But it's forcing us habeas attorneys to win our cases twice (or more)

On September 9, 2026, Respondents permitted Pablo F. to exit the building where
he was detained, but he was immediately swarmed by four ICE officers and handcuffed as
soon as he stepped outside. (Doc. No. 25-3 at 4:48:45–4:49:26.)3
The officers drove him
to the back of the Whipple building and returned him to a holding cell. (Doc. No. 21 ¶¶ 8–
9; Doc. No. 25 ¶ 5.) During this encounter, officers dislocated Pablo F.’s shoulder. (Doc.
No. 21 ¶ 7.)4
Pablo F. now bringsthis Motion seeking to enforce the Court’s Order granting
the Petition.

Again, Respondents make no attempt whatsoever to support their assertion that
Pablo F. was released. Absent any such argument, the Court cannot agree that a reasonable
person would have felt free to leave when exiting the detention facility and immediately
being stopped by ICE officers. Likewise, absent some argument, the Court necessarily
concludes that Pablo F. was subject to restraints not shared by the public generally when
he took one step outside of the detention facility and was immediately stopped by ICE
officers who forcibly returned him to a detention cell. Because Respondents do not make
any legal argument that Pablo F. was ever meaningfully released from custody, the Court
grants the motion and orders Pablo F.’s release.6
6 To be clear, Pablo F. is not arguing, and the Court is not concluding, that an order of
release in a habeas matter renders unlawful any future arrests. Rather, the Court reaches
the narrow conclusion that because Respondents advance no legal argument in this case to
support their assertion that Pablo F. was released from custody, and because the
uncontested facts show that ICE officers immediately swarmed Pablo F. as soon as he
stepped out of the building, Pablo F. was not released from custody.

This is also why leftists should support Mamdani’s plan to fight antisemitism, even aside from the morality of it. If you criticize Mamdani for caring about antisemitism at all, you tell wavering American Jews that the most committed pro-Israel advocates are the only ones who care about them.

Organizations like the ADL exist at this point to protect the state of Israel from criticism, but cloak it in the language of “fighting antisemitism.” By being an actual committed non-Zionist who is against antisemitism, Mamdani calls their bluff.
