Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

The looks I get when I talk about law as a service industry job or discuss customer service... You'd think I kicked a dog. The skill set I developed working IT serves me so well when also working with folks in this field. The elitism is and always will be wild to me.

You know you’re definitely one of the good guys when you’re terrorizing the school kids

They put up a little brass plaque next to it that says “best friend with embarrassing secrets”

PSA. ICE doesn’t have to be “like the Nazis” or like Hamas or like Israel! It is perfectly bad on its own terms! No analogy is necessary!

only 17 of 50 prosecutors left in Minnesota

This. Put your real individual interests on your resume and then you'll match with employers that vibe with your particular stuff.

reading this as an orthodox jew is a struggle to be grateful there is one orthodox rabbi speaking and acting like this, and not be angry, bewildered, and bereft that there is only one. forward.com/news/800628/...

To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally." In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

Inglourious Basterds is pretty satisfying

You can place online bets on how many gloves I will lose this winter

Right? Just a basic "recording every second from start to end of shift" raises issues with data storage and associated costs. And the vast majority of that will be pointless. And then even in incidents there's things people would agree shouldn't be recorded.

This is one thing I insist Congress fight for. Without it, there’s no accountability. Without it, real law enforcement is constantly hampered & endangered.

Body cams are a tool but they’re not perfect. -Who starts & stops the recording -When does recording start & stop -Who the recording identifies -Who controls & keeps the recording afterwards All matter & all are up for grabs

IVAN IV THE TERRIBLE I AM JUST SAYING

If I were trying to establish my respect for civil rights, I probably wouldn’t have a position called “CZAR” in my administration

USHMM never fails to fail to meet the moment

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

People of Maine, how can the rest of the country help you stand up the way MN successfully did?

Homemade vinaigrette & sourdough toast Also I found like 5 shiitake mushrooms in the fridge so I will saute them in garlic butter & put them on the toast

ok folks we are having BIG HEARTY SALAD for dinner bc we are KEEPING OUR STRENGTH UP

May our memories be long.

This seems both self-evidently true and massively important to remember moving forward. Nonviolent resistance is the only path here that has any hope of working

A fun part of sexism is when self-proclaimed military experts think that PTA and church moms can't organize, communicate effectively, or run logistics.

Something I noticed locally in the 2020 BLM demonstrations was specifically the regular, mc/umc suburban moms who came out to watch/march alongside our then-teenagers. I wonder how widespread that was

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

CBS news will not air. Instead, here is a rerun of Gilligan's Island.

It was Hilton, but the same sentiment.

maybe she is starting another university

Wait, hotel … patrons? So like random people with the misfortune of sharing a hotel w ICE agents? That alone should be enough reason for Marriott to decline the business

Mr R & I, both working from home today, both wearing sweaters we had in law school. I guess we should just be pleased we still fit into them

The American Way is the rule of law. That means a choice, a battle, a commitment to apply the law. I encourage every American to make this choice. Prepare, as so many have done before, to stand in the arena for your own sake and others. A man is only defeated when he quits.

Got this from a first-year law student today. I’m going to turn comments and quotes off because I am going to respond in my own way and am not looking for advice. But I think people should see it.

The FBI Director is coming for your guns

If this is the consensus off-ramp, hope the administration takes it, like today

This is nonviolent resistance. If she comes with violence, they get the cover of “law & order” to meet her with violence. Instead, coming like this, she has removed all good response options from the authorities.

The beauty of non-violence is that it works *whether or not* the authorities respect the rule of law.

Inaugural journey, A+. The battery lasted long enough to clear 3 driveways & a good stretch of sidewalk. What should we name her

I get the impulse to push for more, harder, faster, but it's worth noting here: the lawyers for both the state and various other plaintiffs have been working their asses off at absolute breakneck speed today.
