You're making a fantastic argument for why your earlier accusation that Ezra is advocating "the core ideas of the current administration" is completely ludicrous. All of MAGA's most core policies are fundamentally degrow

Fine, 98% of the population would like to see increased economic development. The point is that you would be very hard pressed to find any issue in American politics less controversial. Degrowth is incredibly fringe. You wouldn't eve

No, he did not. He was detained based on an accusation, but charges were never filed due to lack of evidence and he was determined to have a valid asylum claim. That is not even slightly close to "a judge determined he was MS-13&quot
