Like….. please! Please do something for someone to counteract the violence! Our neighbors are being taken from their homes by armed faceless men! They will keep taking more until enough people are SHOUTING NO!

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

I swear to god if we lose to the fascists because it’s kinda cringe to post about politics

we’re in ur courts protecting ur rights

Calling peoples' employers in a rage because their tributes to Robert Redford weren't horny enough

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

*sighs*; *opens PACER*

For those keeping score at home, 2025 America’s N@zi Brownshirts (SA) will be the Proud Boys who now have a free pass from the administration to do open-carry terrorism in DC :)

I cannot emphasize enough: We DO NOT WANT anyone who takes orders from that man policing us. Not in D.C., not anywhere. His people cannot wait to sic ‘em & see what they can get away with. (From a police-accountability standpoint, they can get away with a lot.)

Friday afternoon & the fuzzy co-worker is ready to clock out

#AppellateSky bat signal: Any members of the CA6 bar feel like moving my and @sara-rosenburg.bsky.social's admission?

just need to say this, and maybe you can relate: way too much of my mental overhead recently has been devoted to a questionably healthy amount of numbing myself to what is happening in front of me while trying to stave off the feeling that it is all about to get a lot worse for everyone

The clerks where I get my lunch said a man came in last week and asked them where the public entrance to 26 Federal Plaza was. He locked his bike outside, and it’s been there since.

Reached the point of the brief-drafting day when I wonder if anyone among us (appellate jerks) has ever or will ever have the guts to begin a sentence… “Reversibly,”

We are incensed by the Supreme Court’s decision to allow the administration to unlawfully dismantle the Department of Education in direct violation of the Constitution. Our children, educators and nation will suffer great harm if this agency is shuttered. www.afscme.org/press/releas...

The problem with liberals is that they’re still “respectfully” dissenting

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Great day to be a Lexis hater

Oh god! It's happening!!! THE HECK BAR RECKONING IS HAPPENING!!!!!!!!

As others have said, what is important to understand is that those of us educated in the order of the 20th century have got to let those assumptions go. It’s time for people to lean into the chaos that these rulings/regime create and use them to advantage. A politics of Tricksterism is called for.

History books should refer to this day at SCOTUS as “Christofascist Friday”

Well team, Trump v. CASA is as bad as it gets

Happy #SCOTUS finale day

the world that Citizens United built 🥰

One important lesson from Zohran’s W (especially for young progressives) is that your digital footprint need no longer stop you from running for public office

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Gorsuch wrote (& Roberts agreed) in Bostock that "an employer who discriminates against transgender employees necessarily and intentionally applies sex-based rules." Today in Skrmetti, CJR (joined by Neil) blithely says SB1's *obviously* sex-based rule is about "medical use." Unserious bigots.

I don't think I've ever felt more like burning it all down than I have while witnessing the elite project to turn Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander into scary, incompetent monsters while turning an actual incompetent monster, Andrew Cuomo, into a merely complicated fellow who just made an oopsie.

This is one of the most irresponsible things a president has ever said.

The civil-rights litigation system in the U.S. only works because—by law!—it costs plaintiffs nothing to bring a meritorious case. Just think of who’s bringing all the critical lawsuits right now—immigrants, trans people, children & families—and you understand the point of this new scheme.

It can get confusing, Senator, so I’ll remind you: Posting indignantly about American fascism is *our* job. *Your* job is actually to do something about it! Hope this helps :)

But if a few people in masks start lighting stuff on fire? Then you have news. This creates an *enormous* attentional advantage towards the most violent and chaotic kind of protest.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

ICE crossed a line in LA

Law enforcement across the nation must pick a side. They are either for protecting their communities or they are for ICE who terrorizes their communities. There is no gray area on this.

it appears to be official that for the first time in decades the president has federalized national guard troops and is sending them in to Los Angeles this evening. This is the statement from the White House It’s about to get very, very scary now. Be safe y’all. Fight for one another.

Heartbreaking! Reporting suggests that the facility is currently operating nearly 300 PERCENT above capacity, with 1,700 people crammed into a facility with an official maximum capacity of 600. The conditions have devolved dramatically in the last few months, threatening health and safety.

The closest thing Henry has to a ‘job’ is teaching neighborhood kids dog literacy 🥹 #dogsofbluesky

BREAKING: Our client Andry's asylum case was dismissed ~75 days the enforced disappearance to CECOT. “It seems the government’s intention in dismissing these cases across the country is to complete the disappearance of people,” - @l-toczylowski.bsky.social #FreeAndry www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

Oh, Josh Blackman! The pure delusion to believe you’re pro-rule-of-law while writing “it's obstructionist to put an automatic 48-hour hold on challenged deportations that the Government would otherwise be doing instantaneously with no notice or hearing whatsoever.”

happy for Khalil of course but i must say, "lawful permanent resident not charged with any crimes, imprisoned by president's stormtroopers for having forbidden opinions about US-abetted genocide, briefly allowed to touch his child" is a hell of a thing to find oneself feeling joy and relief about

This is an alarming development and deserves more attention.

You know you’re winning when you post “We are NOT the Gestapo!”

Cert denied this morning 🥰 @pubaccountability.org stays winning 😤

Can they sanction Sauer just for saying "we think this case cries out for percolation" mere moments after Kagan observed (with no pushback) that "NO PLAINTIFF is ever going to lose in this case"? #TrumpvCASA

Gorsuch pronouncing Sotomayor "Soto-Meyer" from the bench after... how many years working with her?
