Maybe the most insane one yet in terms of fundamentally reordering the country away from the system the Constitution created, in which Congress is intended to be the preeminent branch with the president executing its will, toward something like an elected dictatorship.

Well you’ll see one in nine years

We did it folks. We posted our way into getting ABC to respect free speech and stand up to Trump’s goons.

I told the Reverend he made me proud to be a Christian.

In my most @kleinman.bsky.social voice: I thought Spartans/Trojans was decided in 1200 BC.

Sarah Palin at the 1987 Great Alaska Shootout:

“It’s [de facto] illegal to criticize the president on television” is a real clear marker of a totalitarian state that is unambiguously true now.

Since this 2 of 3 late night comedians have been forced out by the regime for criticizing it.

ah, well

Pats punting down two scores with 4:50 left. Genuinely pathetic.

Fire Moore takes out. Which feels like a lot for an 11 point road non-conference loss, which is the kind of thing that happens all the time. Bu also Venables ran circles around our offensive coaching.

“Americans are a mix of the English, Scotch-Irish, and continental Europeans” is an explicit rejection of the Fourteenth Amendment and embrace of Dred Scott.

CJ Carr, you are a traitor to your family, but that throw was pretty fun.

We’re going to fail to cover by 20 points but I feel fine about it. Bryce looks like the real deal in an opponent-invariant way and if their 17 points, seven are on a preposterous targeting call and three are on a drive they gained two yard so they have functionally seven points.

Apoplectic about a targeting call in a 17 point game. We’re so back.

First full football Saturday is real test for whether this place has the juice for more than politics

Cool that I’m probably going to have to smuggle my child over the border to Canada to get to outline vaccines because the stupidest Kennedy is afraid of needles.

Muffed punt baby. We’re so back.

Welcome to college football Saturday

Thank goodness the start of football season will give me an escape from the dark reality of our country's ascendant fascism. Now to sit down and read the first few paragraphs of the season preview form my favorite football blog @mgoblog.bsky.social

Lol Stu Mandel is such a giant fucking clown, man. This is like an RCMB/11W post.

This is like when they teach you Lord of the Flies in eight grade to pound the concept of symbolism into your head.

the position of the roberts court is both that racism isn’t real and that the constitution mandates a colorblindness so strict that it neither recognizes nor can act on social inequalities. incidentally, this is essentially the court’s holding in plessy v. ferguson.

The people who bang on about originalism and textualism just want to delete the entire clause “Congress shall have the power to enforce this Amendment by appropriate legislation” from the Reconstruction Amendments. It’s breathtaking bad faith because they support a racial caste system.

I think he should apologize for illegally killing several million people by stealing their food and medicine before he’s allowed to offer an opinion on the “path to solving hunger, disease, and poverty.”

Tired: republicans don’t know who was president in 2020 Wired: republicans don’t know who was president in 2008 either.

Got to overrule Keeton v Hustler tbh. Free speech cannot survive if a defamation plaintiff can just pick the most favorable judge in the country.

This website is mostly posting about a baseball player’s ass during competitive batting practice. Which is fantastic. What made twitter fun was experiencing pop culture and sports events together, and there’s been far too little of that here.

As anyone who has used an LLM knows, this is obviously false, but also if your LLM thinks it’s Hitler it’s bad if it’s getting better.

On this fourth, remember, this is our country too. Let’s save it.

He has refused his Assent to Laws… For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world… For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury… For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences… A Tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

I am being negatively polarized from “mostly fine, few dumb ideas, would probably have ranked him third” to a rabid pro-Zohran partisan by how fucking vile this shit is.

This is truly remarkable. “Taxpayer resources are spent in accordance with *Congress’s* priorities.” If not we don’t have a republic we have an elected dictator.

New most embarrassing Trump grift product to buy just dropped.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander: "I don't think the line for the [Democratic] party right now is between progressives and moderates; I think it's between fighters and folders."

It’s bad that Trump thinks he got elected Boss of America and the whole government is just his staff, but it’s much worse that a majority of the Supreme Court and the leaders of both chambers of Congress agree

I want to reiterate that countless conservative judges issued universal injunctions against the Biden administration, and the Supreme Court never halted the practice. Now, barely five months into Trump's second term, the court puts an end to these injunctions. A brazen double standard.

You can like Mamdani’s policies or not, but if you’re a Democrat and a member of your party is being threatened with denaturalization by neo-Nazis you simply have to give unconditional support, not lectures about insensitive language.

Don’t hate the player hate the game on this, but Buckley and its progeny essentially legalized bribery.

Here is the opening of the injunction just blocked by the U.S. Supreme Court and the concluding, minimal process the district judge had granted: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

great job Trump voters

I can’t believe we’re going to war with a “thank you for your attention to this matter” post.

Not a great sign that foreign newspapers (here The Guardian) are now referring to free speech as “ostensibly” protected by the First Amendment, which is the kind of term you would use for voting rights in the North Korean constitution

Whoa. Spicy footnote from Justice Jackson, dissenting in the ADA case. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

A system where you can forum shop one (1) particular guy in Amarillo to make nationwide policy on any issue you want just cannot stand.

They are trying so hard to turn the one burning Waymo into their Reichstag Fire. They will probably fail because they are all stupid and lazy and couldn’t organize a piss-up in a brewery, but they are very much trying.

It’s very important for people to understand, particularly with the World Cup and Olympics coming up that you should not come here. It’s like if the Olympics were in north korea. If you are not a citizen (and possibly if you are) you are be subject to arbitrary arrest and sent to torture camps

Just horrifyingly evil. They risked their lives for us and the Nazis in the White House want them to be sent to be punished be the Taliban.

McDavid my god. (Do we post about sports on this new website?)
