Jokic is a joke.

still unclear to me how the species made it this far

GORSUCH: “.. permanent accretion of power in the hands of one man. That is no recipe for a republic.” 👀

I never thought I’d see the day. Americans being told by the rest of the world to fight for our own democracy. We should never have gotten here. Keep resisting. ✊🏽 #SheShed #Voices4Victory

Reich: “It’s my government, Madam Secretary. . . . It’s your government because you’re a citizen of the United States, not because you’re a government official.”

Some nice parting thoughts from David Brooks.

It would have been really smart of the NFL to provide subtitles of the Bad Bunny lyrics. #SuperBowlLX

Quite a statement by the Republican governor of Vermont

Defenceless under the night Our world in stupor lies; Yet, dotted everywhere, Ironic points of light Flash out wherever the Just Exchange their messages: May I, composed like them Of Eros and of dust, Beleaguered by the same Negation and despair, Show an affirming flame. — W.H. Auden, Sept. 1, 1939

ICE’s new policy directing agents to ignore the 4th Amendment is one of the most frightening things we’ve seen yet. And there’s no telling where it could end up. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

He has…sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

"the prohibition on the use of force in Article 2(4) of the UN Charter. ... is the bedrock rule of the international system that separates the rule of law from anarchy, safeguards small States from their more powerful neighbors, and protects civilians from the devastation of war."

Due to an act of Congress, the Epstein files must be released by Friday. Is Venezuela ready for the imminent invasion?

Just want to give a shout out to my 83 year old dad- normally conservative, a former SCOTUS law clerk for Rehnquist- who protested out in the rain this morning in St Louis. #NoKings

Ohtani. Holy moly. ⚾️

What a lovely person, ICYMI:

It is wildly unusual for lower-court judges to so publicly express frustration with the Supreme Court’s *behavior* (versus, say, a confusing ruling in a specific case). But the number of *different* examples is completely unprecedented—and pretty powerful evidence that something is seriously wrong.

Well this is bad. Google is indexing ChatGPT conversations exposing sensitive user data I tried a few quick searches. I found someone's chat where I can see their api key I found some building their resume. Their name, email and phone numbers are exposed. www.fastcompany.com/91376687/goo...

No sightings overnight, folks are looking around today and bringing traps, but the fear is that massive fireworks displays in the DC area tonight will panic her and drive her further from home so she may end up further than expected. Please keep an eye out if you’re in Temple Hills, MD.

Few people have embodied the best of journalism—its ability to cut through BS, its capacity to uplift those who’ve been wronged, its burning appetite to tell the stories people need to know—like Bill Moyers. We’ve never needed him more, writes @monikab.bsky.social.

I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY F’ING DID IT. #NBAChampions I’m so happy for these guys. #ThunderUp

With the extent and success of Ukraine’s military drone strikes on Russia, why should we feel safe within our borders as before.
