A short poet

Social media is a mirror made of smoke:

Machiavelli’s masks, Hobbes’ chaos, Nietzsche’s herd.
We chase hearts and likes like thirsty pilgrims, yet each sip leaves us drier.
A theatre of desire, where truth is the first casualty.

Federal appeals court says Trump unlawfully invoked the Alien Enemies Act for deportations

A divided federal appeals court on Tuesday said President Donald Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to rapidly deport alleged Venezuelan gang members is unlawful and blocked its use in several southern states, issuing another blow to Trump’s invocation of the 18th century law.
