Bluesky literally rewrote their ToS so that Singal was no longer in violation of it wrt his offline harassment campaigns. This is such an inept, bumbling attempt at justification...

This HAS to be considered compelled speech by the government doesn't it?

Good news everyone, according to "Defensive Third" here this isn't something that's "really happening" chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Because the Russian military is totally an example we want to emulate...

Oh hello government compelled speech...

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

They need to just straight up ask "Why do you think emulating an army that is currently bogged down in a protracted war against a much smaller nation is a sound strategy?"

Hey @cnn.com if you aren't adding "Unauthorized..." or "Illegal..." to the start of this headline you're failing. This is black letter law, a shutdown does not authorized anything but furloughs.

ICE needs to be disbanded by the next administration. But there's going to be some real temptation to make that the only thing that's done and that can't be all. There needs to prosecutions down to the individual agent level for participants in these things.

I see the "explaining potential consequences means you endorse those consequences" people are at it again. No one WANTED this to happen. But we were trying to warn people about it being a possibility and were told to shut up.

Somebody is butthurt that they're getting called out on their minimalizing of attacks against minorities.

The split of reactions between "It's just immigration enforcement!" and "But it IS a distraction" (this one mostly from old white people with 'liberal' in their bios) is pretty hilarious.

As with Charlie Kirk, Republicans are fiercely loyal to the general idea of Donald Trump but will furiously refuse to grapple with anything specific that he actually says or does.

Vance's most monumental achievement to date has been being told off by two popes in one year.

One of my other thoughts on judicial reform is to take these systems (ALJs, immigration law judges) and create them as their own circuits. So you'd have an "Administrative Circuit" and an "Immigration Circuit" that would have judges not beholden to the executive branch hearing these cases.

It is Cybersecurity Awareness Month Rule 1: Never NEVER abbreviate Cybersecurity Awareness Month as CSAM

Please...PLEASE stop referring to the military occupation of American cities and the brutalization of minority communities as "distractions."

Um. “Comics.” Comics was the name for the medium. Why does this get my goat so much 🤣

Literally grab him and shove a phone in his face with clips

Note that the USPTO is self funded so blaming this on "the shutdown" is even more of a lie than firings at agencies without funding.

6. People want to know when this is going to end.  The answer is simple. It’s when Trump decides to do his fucking job.

The ADL isn't even taking IT'S OWN SIDE against Trump.

I'm available...

Herman Stringbean says what?

Huh...fascist Nazi regime throwing Jews that support it under the bus? Who would have thought

Oh someone is panicking...

President Pritzker is going to get record ratings when he takes a wrecking ball to that ballroom on prime time TV.

ER'S are getting filled because people cant afford any sort of care other than going to the ER where they have to be treated.

What kind of fucking... And there's people on Twitter now that are absolutely treating this like some profound statement of wisdom

@whitehouse.senate.gov has become such a disappointment with his Vichy capitulations to Trump nominees.

I have some news for Matt about why he puts up a tree at Christmas and Easter involves a bunny and eggs. Also why Christmas is in December when Jesus was most likely born in the Spring.

My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.

Oh well it's a good think no one, anywhere, uses Excel to calculate or store data that absolutely has to be accurate

Hey @kaysmythe.bsky.social you still trying to figure this one out? I promise it's not REALLY a trick question...

I do not want to be rooting for the legal departments of major copyright holders stop making me do that

You see this fails at the initial stage. If noncitizens aren't entitled to due process...how do you prove you're a citizen? This is someone who thinks "due process" is some specific set of things and not actually just the name we use for ANY APPROPRIATE LEGAL PROCESS IN CONTEXT

Happy to see Anthony Brown on here. Notable absence? @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

Oh that's fucking nonsense and whoever she said this to needs to go find her daughter and ask her directly.

Honestly I hope THIS is something that holds past Trump at least somewhat. We don't HAVE to be giving the govt the benefit of the doubt as much as we have. It can swing back SOMEWHAT but it shouldn't be anything close to what it was before Trump.

Medicare, as of today, will no longer cover telehealth visits. I can’t imagine a bigger slap in the face to our patients.

Ok, I think it's important to point out that at THIS point Johnson is really just being a dick about this. But that's all it is. This election hasn't been certified so Johnson is going "the results aren't official yet." Which is dumb and petty but that's really all it is right now.

also "Out of queer solidarity, they informed their husband’s “mistress” — this was kosher in Mx. Benson’s arrangement, which was not a legal marriage, but a domestic partnership — about their shared partner’s troubling behavior." if it's not a legal marriage then why are you calling it divorce?!
