In wartime, the United States must protect its people and territory. Doing so may require actions that might not pass legal or political muster in peacetime, such as the preventive detention of enemy combatants for the duration of the war. But the Alien Enemies Act, an authority that permits summarily detaining and deporting civilians merely on the basis of their ancestry, goes too far and must be reconsidered. Passed in 1798 as a part of the notorious Alien and Sedition Acts, the Alien Enemies Act is a deeply flawed authority with a sordid history.The law was last invoked in World…

“We will buy your banks, we will buy your schools, we will buy your media, we will buy your politicians and then when we have bought all the rest we will buy you, because you have taught us that everything has a price, and we are happy to pay. Then when we have this influence we will use it to make sure that the wrong sorts of people, and you know who, no longer have any economic power. We will not allow them inside our institutions because it’s important they do not have anywhere to peddle their dangerous, outdated ideas.…

Being a mutant isn’t as great as others may think in the Marvel Universe. Although they’re born with special abilities and have the opportunity to join the X-Men ranks to fight the good fight and reach glory, things can be very difficult for their community due to their differences from the rest of the world. From lack of control to right-down being discriminated against, mutants have a hard time even if their powers also give them great advantages. Considering they didn’t choose to be born with the X-gene, it must be very difficult to have to deal with all these…

Includes SPOILERS for The Gorge! The Hollow Men and other terrifying creatures are among the antagonists in Apple TV’s latest sci-fi/horror thriller, The Gorge, and their origins are worth breaking down. The new movie is led by movie stars Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy, who play the characters Levi and Drasa, elite snipers who are tasked by a paramilitary organization to stand guard at a remote location. Quickly, Levi learns that there’s more to the mission than what he’s been told, including dangerous creatures that come from the depths of a misty gorge, some of which are referred to as…

In the world of comic books, heroes and villains rarely grow old, locked into their age starting from the first page of their introduction. The characters in the world of X-Men take this one step further, featuring figures that are thousands, sometimes millions, of years old, to the point where some are even considered the stuff from legends. It’s no surprise that a comic book with frequent trips through time and space would have characters flirting with immortality, but the following mutants show that age is more than a number when the number has three commas. Here’s a list of…

U.S. Representative Anna Paulina Luna claimed that she has definitive proof that “interdimensional beings” that can move “out of time and space” exist.

Hey, at the very least, this is a pretty decent attempt to deflect MAGA acolytes from their obsession with the Jeffrey Epstein files.On Wednesday, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast to advocate for government transparency about aliens. The Florida Republican, who heads the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, a subcommittee of the House Oversight Committee, said that our general understanding of green, bug-eyed aliens from outer space is totally wrong.Luna explained that although “this might sound crazy,” she has seen evidence of technology created by “energy things” or “interdimensional beings” that defy humanity’s…

A Glimpse Behind the Curtain In a world filled with secrecy, surveillance, and speculation, it’s not every day that a government agency like the FBI releases a document that raises more questions than it answers. Yet, buried within the thousands of pages made public through the Freedom of Information Act, one peculiar memo stands out, one that hints at the presence of “beings from other dimensions” visiting Earth. This isn’t science fiction. This is a real, declassified document from an official FBI file. While skeptics may brush it off as fantasy or misinterpretation, for many researchers, this memo adds a compelling piece…

Many people, including animal advocates and others who want to grant legal rights (including personhood) to nonhuman animals, are often criticized for their views because others fear it will diminish what it means to be human. I frankly never have understood these unfounded fears because if one looks, for example, at sentience―the ability to feel―if one member of a species has the capacity to feel, then so too do others of the same species. For this and some other reasons, I was pleased to learn of a book by Dr. Raffael Fasel, More Equal Than Others: Humans and the Rights…

Demotix/Craig Shepheard (All rights reserved) “Chimpanzees are cognitively-complex, autonomous, and self-determining beings who can freely choose how to live rich lives.” In his Institutes, the Roman jurist Gaius wrote: “all of the law which we use concerns either persons or things or actions.” With the occasional modification, this is the way in which both the common law and civil law still divide the world—the fundamental classification is between person and thing. I visualize this divide as a thick legal wall. On one side are things. Their value is, instrumental. They are slaves to persons and lack the capacity for…
