This is a MUST-READ affidavit. This eyewitness to Alex Pretti’s murder — who is too scared to even go home because she doesn’t trust federal agents — directly refutes what the feds are saying happened today:

Cool that the White House is coming out against... the truth.

Hey, nice-ish country you got. Sure would be a shame if something happened to it.

If only there were some political party that claimed to support states' rights against federal overreach...

How am I supposed to work when Marc Carney is reading the international legal order for filth!?

Balebuste is Yiddish for "girlboss"

People are kidding about this, but if this is not a facial breach of the poster's first amendment freedom, I do not know what is

Another example of the death of US Rule of Law: it should be standard operating procedure to investigate any officer-involved shooting, whether the extraordinary use of force was done lawfully. Here, the ICE thug is presumed to be in the right, & those seeking to hold him to account, in the wrong.

This is what is lost in the online-sphere, in the theory-zone, in the seminar room: socialism is humanism. It's about loving people and orienting your politics to make sure they are cared for.

I'm confused what the problem is. He's just being trained on it.

Do a welfare check on all of your worst uncles

Jewish sociology question: when did the norm against tattoos weaken? It's clearly coeval with the general approval body art has received in general culture, but there used to be a strong taboo encompassing religious and cultural Jews that has abated for the latter.

With all due respect to Prof. Kreis, this is logically fallacious. While it is the case that one should not allow personal enmity to inform a scholarly critique, there is no reason a scholarly critique cannot result in judging the subject to be of bad character.

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

New DHS promo just dropped

Genuine question from a legal professional not living in the States: does the US Constitution exist?

Ah, so climate change and global warming will only be acknowledged by the regime's media where it supports its imperlialist ambitions

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely. That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

You know, a little Chalamet, a little Chalam-B.

It's true that US federalism precludes the president from interfering w/nat'l elections However, thinking beyond formalism, even if Trump lacks the legal power to direct state election boards, it undermines the *legitimacy* of the election, in the eyes of his supporters, which fractures the republic

Weird that a constituency who steadfastly opposed the closing of schools during COVID, putatively because of the impact on children's education and socialization, are now in favour of federal policy forcing schools to close and shift to virtual learning. Strange.

And this is why, at bottom, at heart, the Republicans have never been a worker's party and will always be the party of the boss.

Hey #Polisky - I'm trying to put together a panel for APSA 2026 that focuses on antisemitism. Is anyone interested in contributing an abstract? If so, let me know!

*Astronaut meme* Wait, it's just gender? Always has been

Ah yes, what jibes more with the sensibility of famed utopian tv-show "Star Trek" than the marriage between technology and the military.

He did it! Mission accomplished! There is no longer antisemitism! Thank you, Mr. Adams!!!

It really is upsetting to see the Department of Labor—once headed by Frances Perkins, the woman behind the New Deal, who unapologetically bent immigration rules to save thousands of Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany—posting fascist Reichslop like this

Latest policy implemented by the "pro life" regime:

The fact that a suit for misfeasance in public office or malicious prosecution is not in the immediate offing shows how mordant the rule of law in the US is.

A melancholically beautiful and insistently ecstatic reflection on art, aging and surprise.

once again: ICE is operating as if they have a general warrant, the specific type of warrant the founders were most concerned about when drafting the 4th Amendment

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help: Trump just suspended federal funding for SNAP benefits to Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is an MN-based hunger-relief org. Please donate what you can. www.2harvest.org

Besides its moral depravity, what makes this so *politically* objectionable is that a person tied to the government-in-power clearly states that the government does not govern for the welfare of all persons in its jurisdiction, but that entitlement to benefits depends on one's partisan position.

Josh Groban's rendition of "Anthem," from CHESS, is superior to that of Tommy Körberg.

Question for #LawSky: is there a tort of "misfeasance in public office" in the US?

The GOP has become the pro-black helicopter party

For me, the most difficult part is often the lies.— www.unpopularfront.news/p/living-in-...

It's not only not *the* law, it's not *law*. If public officials are immune from recourse, there is no more rule of law, just the rule of persons.

Rule of Law in US (1776-2026). It had a good 250 years.

The notion that the GOP is the party supporting "states' rights" within a federalist system is now officially laughable.
