Amicus brief from the Cato Institute, Dale Carpenter and Eugene Volokh urges full Fifth Circuit to affirm panel ruling that president of West Texas A&M violated the First Amendment when he ordered a drag show canceled, citing the show's purportedly "objectionable message." @cato.org

When I worked in immigration law this wasn’t as common as it is now, but it happened, and it made everyone in the room so desperately uncomfortable, the way you are when you are confronted with your own bald-faced lie that you have to keep up. This is from 2016.

“She showed up as scheduled, and when she arrived, officers were asking everyone what country they were from, and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.” www.wgbh.org/news/local/2... @gbhnews.bsky.social

I actually sincerely think this stuff should be understood as unconstitutional

Yeah, right now inertia leads us to "they get absolutely destroyed in the midterms and then probably spark some kind of civil conflict about it" I think

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks. They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

The president fails to realize how deeply Somali Americans love this country. We are doctors, teachers, and elected leaders working to make our country better. We will not let Trump intimidate or debilitate us. My op-ed: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/04/o...

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars. She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

It is outrageous that Marc Rowan stood at the UJA Federation dinner (a memorial for Wesley LePatner) and said about Zohran: “He is our enemy.” Who’s trying to make Jewish New Yorkers safer – and who’s fanning the flames of hatred? 🧵 ejewishphilanthropy.com/marc-rowan-d...

This is an ethnic cleansing campaign

Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.

this guy on the Peacock mic is cracking me up

Shocking footage out of Minneapolis emerges as activists on the ground report ICE is pulling people out of their cars simply because they look Somali:

Lmao did Trump just call JD Vance incompetent

i'm actually struck by how pete hegseth isn't just a cowardly man but a capital-c Coward. a guy who gets off on abusing and hurting people he thinks are weaker than him and then tries to run and hide when there might be consequences

stormfront stuff man

NYT: Five officials told us that Hegseth had nothing to do with the second strike Washpost (which broke the story 2 days ago): “This is ‘protect Pete’ bullshit,” and “It’s throwing us, the service members, under the bus.”

she went to state legislators, TPUSA and conservative media outlets within a few hours of getting her grade, if you can’t identify the bad faith that can be seen from space, you need to get your eyes checked

we are well past the point at which anyone who cannot identify bad faith like this is disqualified from commenting on it the girl and her mother are basically screaming THIS IS A BAD FAITH ATTACK ON TRANS PEOPLE at the top of their lungs and if you can't see that you're stupid or lying

After a decade leading CREW, our president @noahbookbinder.bsky.social is stepping down in January, and Donald K. Sherman, our chief counsel, will serve as interim president. Noah has led CREW through a period of huge growth and impact, and CREW owes so much to his visionary leadership.

We must keep calling out those that cave to the Trump Admin, and the latest is Northwestern. As part of their "deal," NU will pay $75 million, stop vital research, renege on agreements with its students over the war in Gaza, and more. Throwing your students under the bus to please Trump. Shameful.

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.

The key word is "dictate." As 186 University of California law faculty wrote at the end of our own letter begging our Regents not to sign an agreement with a similar savings clause, the word "dictate" sets the bar WAY too low.

I travel through Farragut every day on my commute, this is extremely scary and just a horrible situation no matter how you slice it

This is really, really not good

Don't cave, Northwestern, fight! dailynorthwestern.com/2025/10/29/o...

Hey fellow Northwestern grads? Distressed by the university potentially settling with the Trump Administration? Call the Development Office and tell them you won’t donate if they capitulate! @medillschool.bsky.social

I Think You Should Leave ass government

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

5 yrs/265 million for Purdy looking rough right now

Fear is contagious, but so is courage. I remain steadfast in my oath to the Constitution and am grateful to those across the nation who stand with us. Don't give up the ship.

A fed judge in August struck down Arkansas’s 10 Commandments in public schools law, calling it part of a “coordinated strategy among several states” to get a sympathetic Roberts Court to revisit “precedent on religious displays in the public school context.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Earlier this year, Trump fired a Democrat on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission without cause, an unprecedented move. 13 Dems just voted to advance Trump's pick to fill the vacancy. Coons Duckworth Heinrich Kelly King Klobuchar Ossoff Padilla Warner Warnock Welch Whitehouse

This is the hardest I have seen any member of Congress work to try and address transphobia in Congress, and her ability to get nearly all Democratic lawmakers to sign onto this letter is something any first would applaud

Over 20,000 students stayed home from school Monday in Charlotte amid ICE raids, representing 15% of enrollment The district is nearly one-third Hispanic, per WBTV www.wbtv.com/2025/11/18/n...

NEW: The White House intervened in a DHS investigation. The target? Sex offender Andrew Tate. The WH person? Paul “Nazi Streak” Ingrassia. Who was previously also Tate’s lawyer. A banger from @robert-faturechi.bsky.social & Avi Asher-Shapiro www.propublica.org/article/andr...

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

Jaw dropped. Trump Administration Removes Report on Missing and Murdered Native Americans, Calling It DEI Content

2028 watch: The most effective ad for Prop 50 came not from Gavin Newsom. It came from AOC. -Super PAC Future Forward found that Ocasio-Cortez's direct-to-camera ad did better than ads featuring Newsom — Prop 50's chief cheerleader — and Barack Obama. www.axios.com/2025/11/16/a...

Never forget that just a week ago, Ross Douthat and the NYTimes were asking if women ruined the workplace.

I might feel sympathy for MTG if she issues a public apology to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

There’s still nothing like Steph on a heater man

ICE vs the clergy

2025 has been the worst for many reasons, and this is a quite minor one - but it makes me so mad the Patriots are good again
