Is it too late for any judges to hold those who disregard and violate court order in contempt?

The people who profited most from the cancel culture/free speech panic were less interested in actual freedom of speech than establishing their own control over public discourse. You don't even have to take my word for it. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

In class, I ask how many were told not to get in cars with strangers. All hands go up. I then ask why we (me included) are so comfortable getting in cars with strangers. First answer: convenience. Second answer: the belief that rideshare companies thoroughly vet drivers for them.

Once a Talking Header, always a Talking Header.

The “free speech” and “cancel culture” panics have led to overt state censorship because that was always their purpose. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

🗃️ Socialist of the Day: Mary Harris Jones, known as Mother Jones from 1897 on, was an Irish-born American schoolteacher and dressmaker who became a prominent union organizer, community organizer, and activist. She helped coordinate major strikes and co-founded the Industrial Workers of the World.

to Bari (verb): To attempt to bury a damaging political story—only to amplify it massively by drawing attention to the act of censorship itself. Example: “They tried to Bari the segment, but it got Streisanded and everyone watched it twice.”

Just a thought.

Americans are somewhat recklessly encouraged to form opinions on newsworthy lawsuits without knowing that rules exist governing lawsuits (and pretty much all law). Here is a perfect example. This is why I follow @kenwhite.bsky.social and a few other grounding law folks in this space.

Done! Please share.

The competition in the Trump administration to be the first to tip off Putin must have been fierce.

If this doesn't motivate you to vote in the Midterms, nothing will.

CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was. You can see our reporting here: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

It's worth sharing this every six months or so...

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Thank you SO much, @craigwiesner.bsky.social for showing up & documenting this important act of resistance. The current regime continues to disregard US / International law & to abduct, traffic & abuse people, and worse, with impunity. This act of courage by people of faith is an example for all.

This is what censorship ACTUALLY looks like.

The maga divide summarized: does the gutter racism that is the mortar of our coalition apply to Jews or not? And if it doesn’t do we mean that or are we just pretending for the moment?

The right, along the Roberts Court, is trying to nullify the Reconstruction amendments guaranteeing equality under the law, in order to restore the Antebellum Constitution, which envisions “liberty” as an eternal aristocracy of race and class (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Fwiw I think the “apologize for being white” thing is very clearly about making sure white people don’t feel an obligation to alleviate past injustices or make society fairer. Ultimately to do that you have to raise taxes and the billionaires holding Vance’s leash don’t want that.

All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.
