This dude is just a soft guy who is scared of everything. Driving in DC is very annoying, but it is not scary like this at all.

We are all fully within the panopticon. And the prison guards are incompetent at best and malicious at worst.

Exhibit ♾️ that you simply should not support this man. The recirpocal support is entirely conditional your usefulness.

The people in charge of our military are totally amoral imbeciles, wholly lacking in basic human decency or even a surface-level understanding of the concept of consequences for actions.

Remember, if you or a family member is the victim of a crime, the prosecutor does not represent you. If what you want out of the process isn’t in alignment with what they want, they can and will ignore you.

this one fucked me up so much. guy turns his life around after a drug conviction, becomes a happy, beloved, pet rescuing houseboat dad who undersells his mechanic services so poor folks can afford them. ICE grabs him one day out of the hospital for heart problems which then kill him. horrifying

To be clear, there are 1 million thousands in 1 billion dollars. A lot of the 900 people this article is discussing have 10s of billions of dollars, and some have hundreds of billions of dollars. Indistinguishable from satire.

There used to be a time where you had to prove the things you say

Factual misrepresentation has been a hallmark of SCOTUS for decades. Every time Clarence Thomas writes a criminal/post-conviction procedure opinion, he will often open with the most lurid possible description of the crime, even when that description is irrelevant and based on clearly false evidence.

The Tech Billionaire panopticon is basically unavoidable at this point.

There are reports of voter confusion in Dallas County, TX, where voters are being turned away for going to the wrong polling place. www.dallasnews.com/news/electio...

It would be nice to have people in power not acting in bad faith constantly.

Privatization yet again proves its foundational principle — adding a profit motive cannot provide better service for less money because the profit will eat up more than any potential efficiencies. Privatization ALWAYS results in less & worse service for massively higher costs.

Because she was working with a federal task force, she was considered a federal officer, and thus protected by SCOTUS rulings making it all but impossible to sue federal cops, even for egregious abuse. Now consider what this means for Trump's immigration thugs. Democrats had two years to fix this.

Feels to me like the last competent DOJ lawyers tried to make a Business Decision about how to use their limited resources, and then someone in the White House, probably Trump himself, threw a fit about the negative headline and demanded that the attacks continue www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/u...

9/9: This may seem hypertechnical, but it underscores the broader point I made in "One First" about *both* of the Court's grants of emergency relief last night—that the Republican appointees' impatience is leading them to run over settled legal constraints to reach the merits in these cases. /end

Policing is inherently political. These guys are just too dumb not to make it obvious.

Just say the old guy has shingles! You don’t have to put forth obvious lies about EVERYTHING.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town_of... Sure, the police being too lazy to act on a credible report of a violent guy violating a protective order isn’t a violation of rights. What if they were actively involved in the violation? Is that enough?

Antonin Scalia’s head would have exploded trying to deal with this case.

The Roberts Court's position is that if you deserved justice or due process you would be rich bsky.app/profile/mjsd...

Straight up torture. Another layer of torture on top of simply being incarcerated in the United States.

NEW: Four federal judges have formed a firewall against ICE in West Virginia — and say they’ll punish state and federal officials of they continue detaining people in ways they have ruled illegal and unconstitutional. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

Since last year's purge of the BIA, there has been a grand total of one single precedential decision which has gone in favor of the immigrant. One. The entire system is now biased dramatically in favor of ICE and the removal process. The whole thing is rigged, through and through.

First, the executive can’t do this. Second, they are lying about the reason for trying withhold funds. These are factual statements any real news organization could illustrate clearly. This article provides no context or actual reporting on the claims made by the admin. It just repeats statements.

I would honestly just quit if I were the DOJ attorney here. You’re done, man.

Funny how prosecutors are never that concerned about tainting jury pools when they hold press conferences and issue press releases after an arrest. If the evidence is so bad for you in this case, maybe you should just drop the charges?

Today it’s spitballs. Tomorrow it could be atomic wedgies, swirlies, or worse.

I am so tired of living in the age of “health” grifters. So obviously bad faith. Greedy. Irredeemable. They will happily let your child die if it means they can sell more supplements.

This is a kind of murder that law enforcement officers in rural jurisdictions are familiar with.

The pileup of blatantly unlawful conduct by the government in this case is astonishing, as is the fact that the Supreme Court allowed the govt to go forward with this program in a shadow docket ruling

If DOJ lawyers took their oaths seriously, they would quit

Thank you Brett Kavanaugh!

ICYMI: I got body cam footage of a guy being wrongly arrested for trafficking fentanyl based on unreliable roadside test kits that police used. And because of a 20,000-case backlog at the South Carolina state drug lab, it took him a year and a half to clear his name reason.com/2026/02/23/h...

Shameful.

Every now and then, I remember that JD Vance smashed the "like" button after reading this tweet, then went back and unliked it five years later when he ran for the Senate.

The third season of the Proof podcast is exceptional. Through dilligent, dogged reporting, they’ve exposed a cold case unit in Kalamazoo, Michigan that looks to have put multiple innocent people in prison with shoddy, coercive, deceptive investigations. This should be a national scandal.

Reading this story—about how the Pentagon has been given so much extra money it's struggling to spend it all—while thinking about the formerly homeless tenants I've spoken with in recent weeks whose housing vouchers are being discontinued for "lack of funds."

Look, now that we're trying for real consequences for the Epstein files, maybe we should also take another look at the Panama Papers

One way to tell if the legal test you made of out of thin air is bad, is if your ideological compatriots can’t even apply it with any kind of coherence. But Gorsuch also misses why they came up with it in the first place: it gives them (poor) cover for “heads I win, tails you lose” decisionmaking.

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I wouldn't say I liked it, but just on the merits passing a bunch of tariffs that he didn't remotely understand, all of which made everything at the grocery store cost either $7.99 or $13.99, really was one of President Trump's better policies.

Why doesn’t some Dem with deep pockets publicly call Trump a pedophile so consistently and egregiously and get him to sue?
