Man Harvard is really going to take it on the chin. It is kind of scary how little independence and freedom you really have from a tyrannical federal government, even as a multi-billion dollar internationally famous private University.

Supreme Court to hear arguments in May in challenge to Trump’s plan to end birthright citizenship

https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/17/politics/supreme-court-birthright-citizenship/index.html

The right thing is they hear arguments and vote 9-0 and tell him to get the fuck out. That is what should happen. With this timeline...who the fuck knows.

He'll claim victory,  regardless,  and start deporting them with zero repercussions.

This, the legal scholar Pee Wee German will explain why they “won” a 9-0 decision and use one word from the decision to justify their actions.

All because Ackman wanted to see more white kids at the alumni events. He is going to get his way and all he had to do was talk about freedom of speech. When we have dumb people write our future history books, hopefully they note the start of a lot of this was the complete misuse of FofS to destroy minorities and keep the nation in line.

I think the outcome is already determined and the only question is whether they side 6-3 or 5-4 in favor of Trump. I hope I’m wrong but I’m feeling pretty cynical about this one.

Quote

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr accused Comcast of "news distortion" because its subsidiary NBC isn't parroting the Trump administration narrative on the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

"Comcast knows that federal law requires its licensed operations to serve the public interest. News distortion doesn't cut it," Carr wrote in a post on X yesterday.

 

Quote

Carr's use of the phrase "news distortion" is significant because he has been invoking the FCC's rarely enforced news distortion policy to pressure licensed broadcasters that he perceives as being biased against President Trump. For a detailed look at Carr's fight against media, read our feature: "The speech police: Chairman Brendan Carr and the FCC's news distortion policy."

 

Spoiler

Carr, who recently wore a pin depicting Trump's head on his lapel, provided no substantive argument that NBC is guilty of news distortion. Historically, the FCC has enforced the policy in only the most extreme cases where there is evidence of misconduct, such as a bribe, or instructions from management to distort the news. As a 1985 ruling from the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit said, the FCC policy makes "a crucial distinction between deliberate distortion and mere inaccuracy or difference of opinion."

In his post yesterday, Carr alleged that "Comcast outlets spent days misleading the American public—implying that Abrego Garcia was merely a law abiding US citizen, just a regular 'Maryland man.'" Carr wrote that "Abrego Garcia came to America illegally from El Salvador, was validated as a member of the violent MS-13 gang—a transnational criminal organization—and was denied bond by an immigration court for failure to show he would not pose a danger to others."

"Why does Comcast ignore these facts of obvious public interest?" Carr asked.

SCOTUS ruled US must facilitate man’s release
Abrego Garcia's lawyer said in a lawsuit that he has no affiliation with MS-13. During a 2019 immigration court proceeding, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) "offered a Gang Field Interview Sheet ('GFIS') generated by PGPD [Prince George County Police Department]," the lawsuit said. "The GFIS explained that the only reason to believe Plaintiff Abrego Garcia was a gang member was that he was wearing a Chicago Bulls hat and a hoodie; and that a confidential informant advised that he was an active member of MS-13 with the Westerns clique."

The MS-13 Westerns clique is said to operate in New York, "a state that Plaintiff Abrego Garcia has never lived in," the lawsuit said. The Gang Field Interview Sheet was reportedly filled out by an officer who was later suspended and indicted for providing confidential information to a sex worker.

The Supreme Court last week upheld a key portion of a District Court order on the deportation, saying that the lower court's "order properly requires the Government to 'facilitate' Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador."

Carr made his statement on X yesterday while sharing a post by White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, who said it's "SHAMEFUL that CNN and MSNBC refuses to take Angel Mom Patty Morin as she recounts the terrible tragedy of how an illegal killed her sweet daughter, Rachel."

Victor Martinez-Hernandez was convicted of killing Rachel Morin earlier this week. The White House has attempted to link this murder to Abrego Garcia's deportation, but they are entirely separate cases.

Carr’s fight against media
Carr's post yesterday, combined with his recent actions to enforce the news distortion policy, suggest that he is likely to open a proceeding if a formal complaint is lodged against any NBC stations. Carr showed he is willing to investigate news distortion complaints into ordinary editorial decisions when he revived complaints against CBS and ABC that were thrown out under the previous administration.

Carr has focused in particular on the CBS complaint, which concerns the editing of a CBS 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris. The conservative Center for American Rights alleged that CBS distorted the news by airing "two completely different answers" to the same question.

CBS published unedited video and a transcript that shows it simply aired two different sentences from the same response in different segments, but Carr has kept the proceeding open and seems to be using it as a bargaining chip in the FCC review of CBS-owner Paramount's transfer of TV broadcast station licenses to Skydance.

Carr's handling of the CBS complaint has been condemned by both liberal and conservative advocacy groups—and former Democratic and Republican FCC commissioners and chairs—who say the FCC's approach is a threat to the constitutional right to free speech.

Carr has also sent letters to companies—including Comcast—alleging that their diversity policies are "invidious forms of discrimination in violation of FCC regulations and civil rights laws." Carr last month threatened to block mergers pursued by companies that enforce diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies.

We contacted Comcast and NBC today and will update this article if they provide any response to Carr's news distortion allegation.

Little wastoid was a "cinematographer" for Benny Johnson.

His education ends at Souls Harbor Christian Academy in Floriduh.  It has an enrollment of 92 students from K to 12 and is a ministry of a pentecostal (tongues) church of the same name.

Absolute definition of mediocre, or worse, white guy.

Man, one of the chuckle-worthy, yet horrific ironies of this movement, is how they have screamed "NO MORE DEI!  MERIT-BASED HIRING ONLY!".....and have then put on a clinic on how to hire the least-qualified chucklefucks in the history of chucklefuckery.

These assholes would drive a decorated female F-18 pilot out of the Navy to replace her with a pimple-faced virgin who struggled to get past the beginner level of Microsoft's Flight Simulator.  And then declare that a triumph of "merit over DEI."

We all know what "merit" means.

One thing that is under-recognized is how much the destruction and cooption of institutions will necessitate the types of purges and investigations that Trump has embarked on in bad faith.  ICE, for instance, is going to need to be dismantled and rebuilt as something else.  Any civil and maybe military officer over a certain rank will need to be closely questioned as to what they did. Any hire or fast riser under DJT— suspect. 
 

Democrats need to start planning ahead, researching what post-Communist nations did in terms of lustration. That’s better than de-Baathification.

This is a huge part of the authoritarian playbook.  Push people into more and more compromised actions until they fear that if the regime goes down, they do to.  It’d a classic way to get even people who don’t like you to hesitate at taking action to remove you. That’s why the Dems need to anticipate, plan, and communicate accordingly.  You have to give people off-ramps where you can do so.

It was a good article for sure, but I was posting more for the novelty of Bill Kristol finally endorsing the "Abolish ICE" movement 

Also why didn't my BSky embed?

This reply covers that pretty well
