A Dutch friend told me if the Nazi’s suspected a young man was Jewish he was made to pull down his pants. If he was circumcised it was off to the camps.
Were that metric used in the US ….

Every RW propaganda outlet, along with the administration, has branded Garcia a member of MS-13, a terrorist, a human trafficker, going so far as to photoshop pictures of his hands tattooed with “MS-13” on the knuckles and have trump hold them up to the camera as “proof.” They are monsters.

Some settlement solution that avoids actual ‘due process’, with its evidence and openness, at all costs. If they can exact something approximating punishment, so much the better. Rwanda, not Canada?
Love to think the family will be treated fairly… will believe it when I see it.

That was after they had a pretty good idea already, but I’ve heard that too.
ETA. There was a Dutch Resistance leader talking about the techniques the Nazi’s used to identify people. He said that a lot of people had answered the questions, only later to realize that they had outted Jewish people by saying they weren’t Jewish. When you have to assume a malign ulterior motive to all actions you don’t live in a healthy society.

Off to Jury Duty.
Yesterday was Jury Instructions, Closing Arguments and more Instructions.
Selected a Foreman and a half hour of deliberations. Hope to finish today.
Anyone who demeans or belittles the work of a Jury is a moron or the current President. It is hard work, and people take it very seriously.

I did recover from that. How? It’s an idiosyncratic journey but I chose my own reading at an early age, and I loved to read a lot.

" * As part of an apparent Trump-driven investigation under the guise of fighting anti-semitism, the EEOC sent a text to Barnard College employees asking if they are Jewish."
Looking for corrupt or corruptible “witnesses” and moles to assist in the project of undermining the schools, no doubt dangling offers of more power and wealth in some fashion if they help paint the university as an anti-Israel hotbed of pro-Hamas terrorism. Fascists LOOOOVE grooming collaborators.

Have you chopped off a whale’s head and strapped it to the roof of your car? What about picking up a road kill bear and then staging a bicycle accident with it?
This guy has brain power that we can’t imagine.

A ‘Vladimir, STOP!’ post on Truth Social appears to be Trump’s secret plan revealed to end the war. We have never looked more foolish and pathetic.
And
Stock markets stalled on Thursday, after officials in China said they were not holding talks with the United States about easing trade tensions between the superpowers.
The index has seesawed this week as investors reacted to remarks by President Trump, who said this week that he was prepared to be “very nice” in trade negotiations with China.
He Yadong, a spokesman for China’s Ministry of Commerce, said on Thursday that “there are currently no economic and trade negotiations between China and the United States, and any claims about progress in China-U.S. economic and trade negotiations are baseless rumors without factual evidence.”
This is the most pathetic example of “World Leadership” begging others to give him a break on a fight he started.
And he might even have to cough up Abrego Garcia… pathetic batting percentage.

From the NYT:
Serena Longley, Barnard’s general counsel, acknowledged in an email to the faculty members that Barnard had provided the commission with the personal contact information of staff members to give them the opportunity to participate. “Participation in the survey is voluntary,” she wrote.

The thing is they don’t even need registers! DOGE and Palantir are creating a massive surveillance databases that include medical records, internet history, tax returns —they will be able to provide HHS with lists of people who have mentioned they are autistic online or who have gotten the diagnosis on their medical records. Favored third party groups like the ones scouring academics’ social media and providing lists to DHS, can do the same to any group they want the government to harass.
