I don't understand why the Democrats aren't just walking out en masse to protest his lies.

Why does Mike Johnson look like he wants to cry?

This State of the Union is going to be stupidly long because the GOP feels the need to clap for Dear Leader after every sentence.

Message of Savannah Guthrie to her mother Nancy’s abductor: “It’s never too late to do the right thing.” If you know anything about where Nancy Guthrie might be please contact 1-890-CALL-FBI

When Vichy liberal fucks say ICE just needs more training, *this guy* is literally the person that would be doing that training. Along with Israeli soldiers with the latest new tips and tricks for enforcing genocidal apartheid.

As always, I ♥️ Laura Tingle.

During the season in which we celebrate Jesus's family -- who in his earliest days, fled oppression and became refugees in Egypt -- I'd encourage the Anglican Church to regularly remind Reform UK that their policies are antithetical to Christian beliefs.

I'm teaching International Laws of Armed Conflict this Spring. I had a very straight-forward & easy agenda, particularly since it's my first time teaching this as a stand-alone course & I'm doing it in Texas. But now ... the last week... Any experienced US based LOAC teachers willing to talk?

Good morning.

Tell me again that we can't remove confederate statues because their part of our history.... Also, every corporate donor to this project should be on boycott lists. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna238754

Heartbroken to hear about the passing of Catarina de Albuquerque. She was an incredible advocate & scholar. The world is a sadder place.

Favourites so far (in order of status after 1 listen through): 1. Ruin the Friendship 2. Cancelled 3. Fate of Ophelia 🧡 #TS12

The idea that Pete Hegseth has the competence to lecture that room of military brass on warrior ethos would be laughable if it were an SNL skit. As it is reality... it's not funny.

Every time I think about Trump speaking to 800 military brass, I'm reminded of when Saddam Hussein brought the Baath party together just to performatively arrest & kill people for "trason" -- based on a hoax he made up himself.

“It represents the most significant legal step yet by the Trump administration to harry, punish and humiliate a former official the president identified as an enemy, at the expense of procedural safeguards intended to shield the Justice Department from political interference and personal vendettas.”

Should this man be in any law enforcement position? Now ask this: do you believe this man will face any consequences for this violent assault on an unarmed, emotionally distressed woman? We can call in complaints to the DHS misconduct hotline: 1-800-323-8603 www.oig.dhs.gov/hotline

I was having a similar thought yesterday as I was reviewing the Supreme Court's racial profiling shadow docket order, which--like so many of the Court's orders, as @sifill.bsky.social has pointed out--just substitutes their own nonsense for all the diligent, real fact-finding the trial court did

Thinking today about the white woman I represented who was charged with something she didn't do. The cop testilied, and she freaked out saying that it was impossible for a cop to not tell the truth because that was illegal. When I told her that it happened all the time,

Horrific ideas for $1000, Alex. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its technology in mass surveillance of Palestinians

Pew Research looks the same:

An update from Chicago's local CBS station: SNIPERS! ICE has snipers targeting protestors. WHAT THE HELL? bsky.app/profile/cweb...

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON This is in suburban Chicago. That woman is a congressional candidate. @katmabu.bsky.social And those weapons? COME ON. WHAT THE F*CK

Both the best & the funniest thing the Nobel Peace Prize committee could do is give the award to Stephen Colbert & Jimmy Kimmel as defenders of free speech under attack. It *should* go to Gazan journalists, or perhaps soemone from the UAE doing negotiations, but also: Colbert & Kimmel, please.

Fascists are never satisfied by just a little taste of fascism

New PEN America statement: “The firing and suspension of multiple journalists after the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk should alarm anyone who cares about free speech and a free press. Taken together, these measures risk creating a chilling effect that extends beyond those directly targeted..."

We are no longer in the era of First Amendment Lochner-ism. We are in the era of First Amendment Coronado-ism -- where we see the hyperexpansive First Amendment protections that allegedly defined an era come to a screeching halt the minute they stand in the way of conservative policy priorities.

A threat to authoritarianism anywhere is a threat to authoritarianism everywhere

Then it gives the authors of said paper more space & airtime to continue to defend their problematic position & allowed the rehashing of problematic & unethical arguments in the face of an ongoing genocide. This is as a colleague & friend observes is an eg of epistemic injustice. Shame on LJIL 3/3

This is a truly terrible response to an already flawed paper & even more flawed editorial process, a microcosm of what is problematic about western academia. The reliance on fomalities is an exercise in what Tania Li termed 'rendering technical', the technocratic depoliticisation of events 1/3

"Hey, we realize we fucked up. We want to make it better so we're going to givethe autbors an additional 9 pages to reflect on the criticisms, and then we'll publish *one* article criticising the piece. That sounds like an amazing & valid plan, no?" x.com/LJIL_Leiden/...

Wait until the GOP realizes how our deployed military vote... man, are they in for a surprise about mail-in ballots!

Since we're no longer deferring to agency expertise, is someone taking a case challenging to Covid vaccine limitations?

T swift just announced her engagement and I have to adult. Life is unfair.

One of the ongoing impacts of Covid is that the generation of students I'm teaching are still afraid of failure & mistakes in a way I wasn't & don't think my peers were. Next week, I'd like to share advice on making mistakes & stories of people learning from mistakes or failure and moving forward.

This is exactly--and I mean exactly--how Holocaust deniers have long discredited the Final Solution being a concerted effort & high-level order. "The Jews in the camps all died of typhoid outbreaks"

Micah 6:8 says nothing about "standing on the side of Israel." It does tell us to do justice & walk *humbly* w/ God. Worst thing a Christian (or anyone) can do is convince themselves that what *they want* is what God wants. Don't blame him for your choices. www.middleeasteye.net/news/icj-vic...

Am I the only one who assumes "Ruin the Friendship" is *not* about Blake Lively? 1) TS tends not to make song titles so explicitly about real people (Smallest Man notwithstanding), 2) She's changed lyrics to protect another woman & has lyrics about not pitting successful women against each other.

This is excellent, high-level stuff, bringing expert analysis (and a bit of academic infighting) to a general audience. Check out MEE's Expert Witness series on YouTube if you haven't already.

Guy at the coffre shop has been a practicing lawyer for 15 years. Saw my textbooks and asked "are you in law school?" I told him I teach at St Mary's law school. He looked so shocked & all I can say is: thank you L'Oreal for covering my gray hairs so well!

After yesterday, I can never settle for someone who loves me less than Travis & Taylor love each other. @newheightsofficial.bsky.social

Remember that these are individuals who have legal permission to live and work here. The goal from Stephen Miller—who is the one actually running DHS while Trump golfs and plans golden ballrooms—is to make as many immigrants as possible deportable, even those with current legal status 👇🏽

Does anyone actually listen to Jom Cramer anymore? And if so, why?

I've suffered more culture shock from listservs of American law professors than from open-carry gun owners. Someone offer me hope?
