I notice that South Carolina is listed first in the filing.

The problem with all arguments of this sort is that they effectively rewrite the statute to exclude critical limitations. If a statute says "the president may do X on condition Y," but no court may second guess a presidential determination that Y obtains (even if it plainly does not)...

On Dec. 4, DOJ labeled people who impede or "dox" ICE agents "domestic terrorists." I document how DHS believes following, recording, and protesting agents is "impeding," and has a policy of threatening & arresting ICE observers. That's unconstitutional. www.cato.org/blog/dhs-pol...

Some highlights from our Stephen Miller piece: First, his grandmother has written an unpublished history of some of his ancestors' immigration to the US. We are publishing it online for the first time. They were attacked in terms similar to those he uses today. newrepublic.com/article/2041...

while i'm at it, why is it always liberals' responsibility to stop conservatives becoming nazis? not, you know, other conservatives?

The Trump admin, in its quest to eliminate the entire concept of asylum from the law and get rid of all asylum applicants without hearing their cases, wants to deport a Chinese dissident to Uganda, despite the fact that he has a slam-dunk asylum claim.

“If £1b were to suddenly appear in their bank account, would euthanasia still be necessary? “If the answer is no, that's not euthanasia; it's social murder.”

and for anyone who needs a reminder, @iwriteok.bsky.social has a good primer on how this went last time round podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

Texas ICE prosecutor spends his days enforcing the law and his nights tweeting white supremacist hot takes. Read more here: atlantablackstar.com/2025/02/25/t...

"I heard from a good source that the House might subpoena Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, and Balaji Srinivasan of Pronomos Capital to hearings about the case of 'JOH'—John Orlando Hernandez, the former president of Honduras, whom Trump pardoned this week." washingtonmonthly.com/2025/12/15/t...

I experienced over a decade of direct genocide denial by large swaths of the left, which made the sudden *desperate* caring about one *particular* genocide *all the more infuriating*.

I simply refuse to subject myself to 8chan levels of horrid behavior, bigotry, trolling, and outright spam. Every person I know who remains on Twitter has had their views slowly warped by being neck deep in that kind of shit. They have to save themselves and quit, we can't do that for them.

My pleases-nobody sense of Return To Twitter Discourse is that the place can never return to what it was, and can never return to the idealized past version we imagine either, nor can that idealized past version be constructed anywhere else because it was always romantic self-regarding bullshit

Nickenley Turenne of Manchester, NH was asleep in a car and *somehow* this ended with police shooting him while he was, according to them, trying to get away from them on foot and now he is dead Why did they shoot someone who was running away? #rhetorical #BlackLivesMatter

Ever wonder how some billionaires can get away with paying such low tax rates compared to working class Americans? Here’s their secret playbook and what we can do about it.

I think it's really cool that we have democratic leadership that is largely silent about this issue. A leadership that believes making a "tsk tsk" press release once every month counts as a form of political opposition while otherwise dropping the issue in its entirety.

It’s day 12 of the ICE occupation of MSP. Cold weather this weekend is leading to new and dangerous ICE encounters, especially when people are outside for an extended period.

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers. And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam. And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate. Today it roars once more — at the tyrant in the Oval Office. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXHPCL12QIg

Two victims of previous school shootings — Mia Tretta, who was shot in the stomach in 2019 at Saugus High School, and Zoe Weissman, who survived the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — are now at Brown. Gun violence is out of control in this country.

“Do you think the color of your skin is the reason they targeted you?” “Yes. 100%.”

“We chose Karoline Leavitt to be his godmother over my own sister- just because you went to Catholic school doesn’t make you a good Catholic. I’m not the first, I won’t be the last, they’re separating kids from moms every day. Where does it end?” She hasn’t heard from her😳

If you commit murder you should definitely fear "personal legal blowback."

Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

#GVerse While you fly around the country, playing dress-up for the cameras. 🤣 Mic drop!🎤

So, El Fasher looks like one of the worst single event atrocities to happen this century so far, but the evidence has come in such a trickle it seems to only now be getting verified

open.substack.com/pub/meidasto... "..When the Secretary of Homeland Security can’t stay in a hearing long enough to answer basic questions and when the public trusts the protesters more than the person running the agency, you don’t have a messaging problem. You have a legitimacy crisis.." #BlueCrew

A bill requiring license, insurance and registration for all e-bike users is racing through lame duck despite heavy pushback and no statewide data about crashes/fatalities. My story on what bike advocates are saying and sole Sen bill sponsor Nick Scutari, who told me he wants an e-bike (!)

The government is letting the hunger strikers die. This is a national scandal - and should be on the front-page of every newspaper in Britain. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/gove...

the #BikeBus shows how safety in numbers gives kids the chance to ride, learn, and build confidence on streets that would not feel safe alone. Protected bike lanes, diverters, and street designs that separate children from cars are what make this joy possible every day, not just on Bike Bus days.

A+ trolling from Zelenskyy

It's so fucked up to have been a kid during the D&D is the devil freakout and the Tipper Gore dirty lyrics freakout and live to see the teen suicide machine get such a pass.

The cloud services giant reported quarterly revenue that fell short of Wall Street’s expectations.

CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION. They are purging so they will win again.

Seattle will move forward with its World Cup “Pride Match” on June 26 despite objections from Iran and Egypt over the Pride branding. Both nations asked FIFA to intervene, but local organizers say the plans stand.

In a previously unreported letter, the Pennsylvania senator John Fetterman asked Israeli president Isaac Herzog to pardon Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

trump won two elections because he convinced a shitload of people to vote for him. believing anything else is willful ignorance that will only hurt you.

Assume all famous people are the enemy unless they are explicitly and emphatically pro-trans and anti-genocide

Back in the 70s the DOJ brought Civil Rights charges against the Trumps for marking rental applications with a 'C". It stood for colored. Trump's father was arrested at a KKK rally in 1929. Racism runs in the family.

This is really incredible. The government's battle to deport Abrego Garcia has apparently been based on a lie from the start. Not even the "gang affiliation" lie or the "human smuggling" lie, but the more basic assertion that he was ordered to be deported in the first place.

As has been pointed out, this isn't even in the stadium, which FIFA controls. This is SEATTLE celebrating Pride. They want the CITY to cancel their Pride plans. They can all fuck all the way off.

So, the actual winner of the Nobel Peace prize has to call the guy who thinks he should have won the Nobel Peace Prize to ask him to not murder her on her way to accept the Nobel Peace Prize. Have I got that right?

Remember when Qatar hosted World Cup and everyone was told to be respectful of local customs and culture? Let’s hear that same energy about Seattle culture.

So that's at least four people walking or biking in Seattle who have been hit by drivers and transported to the hospital - just today alone.

Hiring a Black woman: “identity politics” Hiring a white guy for a job that has been held disproportionately by white guys, because he is a white guy: “subverting” identity politics! (The author of this sentence is Dylan Byers; you will not be surprised to learn that he is a white guy.)

When you hire a white man because they’re a white man that’s not identity politics. Identity politics is when you get hired and you’re not a white man. The anti wokeness hysteria was always a backlash to integration of white collar jobs bsky.app/profile/jami...
