A) The title as a standalone piece is part of the NYT’s messaging. That’s why fact check sites make clear that a false title is false in their headline.

B) Accepting the premise that if they were part of a gang this would be justified or even just acceptable is validating fascism. “Not all of the detainees are gang members” is a message that the core issue is a flawed implementation, not that the fundamental act of disappearing people into a foreign concentration camp without trial or sentence is a dangerous and urgent affront to a civilized society.

“Sending people not of the targeted groups to Auschwitz calls into question the current iteration of the program. The gestapo should do better.”

A zero percent error rate would still be unacceptable. They’ve been sent to a gulag without a trial and have no sentence to serve. The offense doesn’t matter, the guilt doesn’t matter, that’s not how you handle either crime or deportation.

The NYPost is a crappy conservative tabloid. I don’t know why people keep posting stories from it.

A 2011 case! Those gears of justice sure do move slowly.

I’m addition to the other stuff, protest movements often begin at schools, so trying to preemptively control that has benefits for a regime concerned about future protests and civil unrest.

They will if China threatens to punish them for it. Making it the other country’s own interest to not fuck with them is the whole point of the warning.

And testing companies can reduce prices and take on many more customers if they don’t actually test anything.

“Ultra pasteurized” are just words on a carton unless there’s someone verifying it.

From another story about the event, it wasn’t even like odd jobs for a host, it was small job remote work for people in Germany and Asia. Stuff they would be doing at home and just kept doing during downtime on a long vacation.

Don’t reply to any business emails while lounging by the pool, you need a work visa for that!

You really are shockingly naive. Yes, CBP officers are assholes dispositionally eager to treat non-Americans harshly and changes in administration do change policy, both explicitly and implicitly. Like their comrades in ICE, they’ve been itching to “get tough” the whole time.

Do you seriously think German teenagers were regularly getting strip searched for muddled responses to whether they would do any work and it was just for some reason not reported on prior to a couple months ago?

I’ve never once heard about German teenagers being strip searched because they had a bad answer about whether they would do any work during their vacation.

What an amazing coincidence that since the change in administrations there have been multiple horror stories about CBP detaining tourists at the slightest suspicion they might do housework or some undetermined gig work during a 3 week stay. Trying to pretend this is just how it always worked is naive in the extreme.

I think we’re pretty well past giving the gestapo the benefit of the doubt.

“They contained sentences we didn’t actually say,” Pohl said of interrogation transcripts they were sent home with.

“They twisted it to make it seem as if we admitted that we wanted to work illegally in the US,” she told the German outlet Ostee Zeitung.

They were teenagers who had spent the last 5 weeks traveling the world. They probably just didn’t think keeping up with developments in the US was important. That plus a healthy dose of white privilege (and probably a wealthy background given that they were teenagers on a world tour) telling them oppression was something that happens to other people.

Trust me guys, this time the Republicans will finally be done with Trump!

“He opposed” as in subtly redirecting the conversation to the preferred narrative of the opposition. He didn’t even say that money shouldn’t be spent, just that he was focused on the battleground seats. Which is barely a bullet point in a daily political activity summary, but became a whole story with a clickbait headline because news is about clicks, not importance.

The title is not supported by the article at all. Here’s the entirety of its quote from Jeffries:

“Here’s the thing,” Jeffries told Jonathan Karl on ABC’s “This Week.” “I’m gonna really focus on trying to defeat Republican incumbents so we can take back control of the House of Representatives and begin the process of ending this national nightmare that’s being visited upon us by far-right extremism.”

It’s at best dodging the question. I assume Jeffries will support his incumbents and isn’t a friend to progressives in general, but this statement isn’t making clear anything.

Holy crap is that transcript insane. The moment centrists are on the downswing Carville wants to split the vote. Also some nonsense about all employees having “a fiduciary duty to your employer”.

And all this with disgraced anchor Chris Cuomo egging him on then at the last moment remembering he was supposed to pretend he was neutral.

Yeah, of you were in there and didn’t have people on the outside who knew your status and could initiate proceedings on your behalf, how would you ever get out? You don’t get phone calls or lawyers or court dates.

Ask Ilhan Omar. She’s just a little representative and they wanted her gone. AIPAC can be a big fish in a small pond against a small number of targeted representatives who are already on shaky ground. They don’t mean shit at the presidential level.
