Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."
V. CONCLUSION
An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A
masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to
challenge his conduct.
A regime of secret policing has no place in our society. Here, the Government’s power is
derived by the People, and the People must be able to identify the Government when it acts to
infringe on their liberty. Masks obscure government action and deprive the public of its Fourth
Amendment protections.
Therefore, the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, [ECF No. 26], is GRANTED. Petitioner
is ORDERED released immediately from civil immigration custody. Respondents are
PROHIBITED from re-arresting and detaining Petitioner absent significant change in
circumstances to justify detention or subject to the determination of a neutral and detached
decisionmaker.

When a democracy is restored after an interlude of criminal looting like this, it is perfectly justified in seizing back the proceeds and prosecuting the looters, regardless of what they have done to make it “legal” on paper.

Córy Doctorow with another verbal bullseye: pluralistic.net/2026/01/13/n...
I'm sorry. As a technology writer, I'm supposed to be telling you that this bet will some day pay off, because one day we will have shoveled so many words into the word-guessing program that it wakes up and learns how to actually do the jobs it is failing spectacularly at today. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not. The difference between a human and a word-guessing program isn't how many words the human knows.

I'm sorry. I know that when we talk about "digital sovereignty," we're obliged to talk about how we can build more data-centres that we can fill up with money-losing chips from American silicon monopolists in the hopes of destroying as many jobs as possible while blowing through our clean energy goals and enshittifying as much of our potable water as possible.

I mean, sure, if there was a war and they snuck up on some soldiers by adopting the trappings of civil aviation, you might call it a war crime. But since there wasn’t one and they snuck up on some civilians who were probably fishermen and at worst drug dealers, it’s just fuckin murder.

Sen. Mark Kelly has released a statement. "If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies..."
Today, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly released the following statement:
"When / was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. / upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space shuttle flights at NASA, and every day since / retired - which I did after my wife Gabby was shot in the head while serving her constituents.
"In combat, I had a missile blow up next to my jet and flew through anti-aircraft fire to drop bombs on enemy targets. At NASA, I launched on a rocket, commanded the space shuttle, and was part of the recovery mission that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates who died on Columbia. I did all of this in service to this country that I love and has given me so much.
"Secretary Hegseth's tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President's posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death.
"If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution."
