One good thing about court findings with no explanation is that we are relieved of their typical sophistry.

Many people and institutions that fight back are winning. This is a large part of the reason to scorn the people and institutions that have caved. When this is over their lives should be made miserable. More, I mean.

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

There are so many people putting their bodies on the line even when there is no one there to record it

This is right, but I’d add that the nation got here through a long (if now well-advanced) process of constitutional rot—not an event. Historians will argue over when that process—the judicial whittling of the balance and separation of powers—began in earnest. For my part, I’d suggest Bush v. Gore.

My theory is this dude rolled up hard and got wrecked beyond belief in chess in Washington Square Park.

Well don't I feel stupid

We currently have a Supreme Court that seriously claims (with no explanation) that the current occupant of the Presidency suffers irreparable harm by having to follow existing law, the constitutionality of which has never before been in doubt or even questioned.

Man “Columbo” is the best show ever

How did Portishead not make the ban list? Anyway, Portishead. Runners-up: 10,000 Maniacs, Concrete Blonde, Siouxsie, Garbage, The Cardigans, The Sundays. I presume we're only doing rock bands and not pop acts like the Go-Gos or the Bangles.

Does he mean getting Trump elected in 2016? Cause if so, gotta hand it to the Gimp for once.

Turns out it was pretty stupid of me to go to “law school” and pass the “bar” and practice “law”

i think the next Dem executive should say: we understand that, per Supreme Court precedent, xyz areas are beyond the control of the courts, and we will not obey such orders until Congress implements court reform

Greenblatt is throwing a tantrum on Twitter rn

This is so funny because the cops kneeling too was so clearly the propaganda effort to depoliticize the movement, but these morons don’t understand that most people do not share their stupid grievances

if the Court refuses to ackowledge congress's authority they will have to be removed.

I did one (1) enlistment in the army a long time ago and something that became clear very quickly was that everyone who takes the term "warrior ethos" seriously is a moron

Famous American citizen Wernher von Braun.

[at my second rodeo] listen up you ignorant sack of shit

Feel like if this is how the law works, there’s no reason to make a budget deal because there’s no reason to believe anything that you win via Congress will actually happen anyway.

Pretty wild how both Agent Cooper and Peacemaker ultimately ended up in our universe. What year is this?

Block me, pretty baby, block me all at once Block me for a little while, block me for a couple of months And I'll block you too...

And the Horse He Rode In On.

things might be somewhat different right now if there had never been a DHS

I’m pretty much constantly angry about how the global media ecosystem supercharged the current wave of fascism and of course I can’t help but think of Al Swearengen talking about the telegraph coming to Deadwood

this is the guy who he endorsed

To state it definitively would be to express an opinion which is illegal in journalism unless you want to say all republicans deserve the medal of freedom

Let’s spell this out. Trump fired a qualified U.S. attorney who refused to do his bidding and installed his own personal lawyer to punish a perceived opponent. Justice needs to follow the law, not politics. This is an attack on the rule of law. Full stop.

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. Thread 👇

I am going to reduce the cost of prescription drugs by 1000% by increasing the cost of prescription drugs by 100%

I was told violent rhetoric was bad.

"Additionally, we will be charging a 30% Tariff on Upholstered Furniture"

This guy is murdering people in the Caribbean and deciding how much your cabinets will cost.

Read a lot of indictments in my time and the comey one is by a distance the weakest

ohhh lightning crashes/ an old mother dies/ placentas still on the floor/ oh no the dog got the placenta/ somebody get the dog

If they had a right-wing, “tough-on-crime” coded mayor there would be endless national profiles about him and how he finally brought sanity back to Chicago.

The trick to keeping your posts out of the discover feed is to just not post very good

I’m starting to notice a trend in the polling data… —Top Public Worry: Corruption —Biggest problem in Fed Gov: Corruption —Top fear: Corruption —What one word would you use to describe American government?: “Corrupt” It’s almost like voters are trying to tell us something.

James Comey a unanimous first ballot slam dunk in the inaugural Reaping/Sowing Hall of Fame vote

If they had the capacity to do this, it would be really bad. And they probably will try to do a couple of high profile examples to make you think they *do* have the capacity. But like a lot of stuff, this is a memo designed to get you to voluntarily stop doing stuff they don’t like.

if you work for ICE you’re evil. if you cheer ICE on, you’re evil. ICE has no positive value in this country. it’s just an outlet for people’s worst, most racist and violent impulses.

everybody hates these guys, their ideas are stupid, and you do not have to fall into the trap of assuming trump’s win says anything meaningful about what americans actually want. for instance, americans actually don’t want to ban vaccines. they want this guy banished to a desert island

The Atlantic has some… questionable editorial policies. This is literally untrue. A fact checker with half a functioning neuron could tell you so.

Easy messaging win for Dems, "you can't have [good thing] because Trump is spending $20B to subsidize the failures of some libertarian clown abroad." And, no, Dems shouldn't support it because it's "foreign aid." It's a right-wing clown bailout. Supporting it trivializes and undermines foreign aid.

Looks like things are going great at West Florence High (where I spent freshman and sophomore year, before heading off to the state public boarding/charter school.)

Post a concert photo you took.

"It's gauche and uncivil to accurately describe me" is a core view of today's fascists
