This is the future I want

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, it would not surprise me if defendant actually did the thing we're charging him with doing. I mean, it's totally possible!"

More than just a shill, Solomon was effectively a co-conspirator in the scheme that got Trump impeached the first time. He was the one injecting Ukraine-related Biden smears into the news cycle.

Okay no problem I'll just wait

Fuckface here is using the Department of Justice for payback against people who did nothing wrong but angered Trump, so shut the fuck up about anything anyone else says, ever

Florida has a constitutional amendment against partisan gerrymandering. The FL Supreme Court completely disregarded that law when it allowed DeSantis to redraw the lines last time. After initially rejecting the map. These are the requirements. All of which the proposed map ignores.

One of my all-time favorite movies.

Jack Klugman was Juror #5 in Sidney Lumet's 12 Angry Men, 1957 Can you name the other 11? Answers in the Alt Text.

Don’t try to shoot anyone over it, which won’t help anything, but it remains absolutely true that Trump is an existential threat to America who should be removed from office as quickly as possible. He’s a sociopathic megalomaniac whose corruption and unfitness is unparalleled in history. Impeach

Going to post some photos from my weekend in Las Vegas last week. San Francisco plus my very favorite hillside sign, which has cracked me up since I first saw it 50 years ago.

Today, I urge everyone to find and financially support an independent news outlet — one that will not be attending a spectacle dinner tonight to schmooze with the Trump administration while they berate the press.

Have to say, the backers sure make it sound appealing

One of my all time favorite weird (also horrible) things that happened in court: client's twin brother was charged with ID theft for using client's name when stopped by police. Twin brother pleads guilty and gets probation, but the court wrote client's name on the judgment, not his brother's.

It's like a gun ban for everyone except the clinically insane.

Some guy on NextDoor ranting about how "Kamala ruined the economy" and I don't think he's trying to be funny

Trump is the Spirit Airlines of presidents

If you believe as they do that hate (against non-white people) doesn’t exist, then all of the hate the SPLC exposes would have to be manufactured

There were so many threats to Harris organizers and staffers that were never reported. It was another part of the massive failure of our political press when they quite clearly chose sides in 2024.

Has Trump *ever* described a white person as "low-IQ"?

SAFETY ALERT: Due to unprecedented demand from Republicans, we are experiencing an acute shortage of Waaaahmbulances. No more Waaaahmbulances are available, all are currently in use. If you feel the need to whine about the VA result, please find alternate transportation to your loser safe space.

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

In 2018, I and 75% of the Ohio electorate approved a constitutional amendment banning gerrymandering. In 2021, Ohio Republicans gerrymandered anyway in direct defiance of the state Supreme Court. I wish every Virginia Republican hurting right now a very sincere “lol get fukt you absolute loser.”

They had no fucking clue what they were starting with this.

Not sure it's a great idea to be giving pilots advice on how to commit suicide

People say I'm completely unqualified for the post of FBI Director, having neither law enforcement experience nor a law degree, but at least I've never had to have a SWAT team come wake me up when I was blackout drunk.

Wait you mean we've lost Dershowitz? Holy shit that's huge, now I'm worried we could even lose Turley!

Very excited to reveal the cover for my next book, Serling: A Journey Into The Twilight Zone with TV’s First Visionary. The book will be published by Grand Central on October 13 of this year, and pre-orders are open now: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/alan-...

I don’t care when you show up to the airport, as long as you have the decency not to bring any carry on that has to go in the overhead bins.

Not the main point here, but I die a little inside every time I see someone use "i.e." when they mean "e.g.". This is NPR, these people are supposed to know that shit.

Spent a long weekend in Las Vegas with friends/co-workers--my first-ever purely recreational trip there--and I feel like we did it right. Thursday: meet up at airport, random taqueria for lunch, Carson Kitchen for dinner & wander around downtown. Friday: Red Rock Canyon & Valley of Fire...

Worth noting the bizarrely skewed language here. “Complexities and contradictions of the human psyche” is the sort of hand waving used to excuse things like domestic violence and sexual assault. “Private lives” presumably encompasses, e.g., trips to Epstein Island.

The Supreme Court needs to be dramatically reformed. This is the origin story for how SCOTUS began to create entirely different sets of rules for administrations depending on whether they are Democratic or Republican.

Wow never had my credit card declined at Bluesky before

A religion worth its name makes hard demands, like this:

I wrote a book two decades ago in which the basic argument was that white supremacists learned to speak more subtly and abstractly about their goals in order to get what they wanted and, uh, sorry!
