you ever think about the works progress administration? I sure do. I wish that was a thing now. I would be so glad to contribute my labor to like. A random ass local bridge

great day for the legal theory of "not guilty if it's funny enough"

As someone who loves criminal justice reform and also sandwiches, this is a big day for me.

JUSTICE IS BEST SERVED LIGHTLY TOASTED

Christ these people are weird.

If you ever hear anyone say that FedSoc is simply a nonpartisan debating club that takes no position on hotly contested issues of legal or public policy, show them this:

Finally a big city mayor raised on “YOU CAN’T CUT BACK ON FUNDING! YOU WILL REGRET THIS!”

I’m not normally a proponent of long prison sentences, but I will make an exception here.

ICE should be rightly called child abusers for doing stuff like this in front of children. It's bad on its own for its brutality toward adults, but they are traumatizing kids. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I know it got swept under the rug with all the trade deadline stuff but: Tom Brady cloned his dog???????

my coworker's baby was at this daycare. fuck these ghouls

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

i really can't come up with an alternative explanation for this that isn't "the president is old and easily confused about where he is"

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

"I want mass deportation, but only the bad guys" is "I want to balance the budget, but only by elimating waste, fraud, and abuse."

As a Bostonian, I am conflicted about how many positive feelings I'm having about New York at this moment

kpop demon hunters but the main characters are replaced by abigail spanberger, mikie sherrill, and zohran mamdani is this anything

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

Everyone involved in this, including Trump, should be prosecuted for murder under the next administration. Let him defend it with presidential immunity, and then take it back to SCOTUS after packing the court back into a real judicial body.

Someday there will be a reckoning for the serial killings that the US government is engaged in on the oceans. Another admin should not refuse to extradite indicted officials to Intl Criminal Courts and senior military officers “just following orders” should not be exempted.

Once again

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has restored the status of late Brigadier General Francis X. Hummel, USMC, saying Hummel served his country admirably as a warfighter despite the DEI policies of military brass. Hummel now qualifies for a full military burial at Arlington alongside Barbara, his wife.

An administration whose main goal is to increase suffering in the world

"No child in America should have to go trick or treating in fear that they might be confronted with armed federal agents and have to inhale tear gas. I honestly can’t even believe that I have to make this plea. This is not the America that I know.” @wttw.bsky.social

Oh no I was planning to eat LeBron this weekend and then get a triple-double. I guess that won’t work.

That smile says "people are going to be giving me, the Vicar of Christ, sports jerseys for the rest of my time on earth, and that is not a problem I thought I would have in my papacy."

Legally, this is no different from Iran sinking a Disney cruise in international waters and then saying "it's all good, they were terrorists carrying drugs." Which is to say, it's wholly illegal and has been for centuries. You couldn't even do this with a Letter of Marque and Reprisal.

It's incredibly normal to feel uncomfortable being near people who are different from you. And your job as a human being is to feel a little ashamed of that, grow the fuck up, and get over it.

My wife and I were talking about this a while back but it is surreal to have a kindergartener right now and see how much focus school puts on teaching kids kindness to one another, while observing the most powerful people in the country engage in behavior that is fundamentally at odds with that.

You see this all the time in conversations over housing, where people will insist that we should simply end the housing crisis through development projects that only cater to the deserving poor, don't make any existing residents upset, and don't change neighborhood character in any discernible way.

"Only billionaires should pay higher taxes" discourse is downstream from a general belief that policy change need not involve tradeoffs, and that the very existence of tradeoffs is an automatic dealbreaker. My run-ins with people who hold this view are what will finally cause my psychotic break.

oh just straight up gutter racism!

The media's complete lack of curiosity over our nearly 80 year old President's health when he has permanent bruising on his right hand, swollen ankles, facial drooping, disappeared for days from public view twice in the last 2 months and just had an unexplained MRI is notable

the contrast between “we audited the White House logs and a Parkinson’s doctor visited the Biden White House” and “Trump says his health is perfect and he is healthy enough to be dictator for life!” is crazy

AI: not even once.

The people doing this deserve to live every minute of the rest of their lives in misery.

FDR remembered this. His latest successor doesn't understand what it means. Any of it.

seeing halo on playstation must be what it felt like to see a mcdonalds in moscow in 1990

Failed, corrupt state behavior

Beyond unconstitutional, this is anti-constituitional.

Happy Electric Nebraska Day for those celebrating.

The rest of the world knows what time it is. Only American voters are clueless.

"I want the good parts of modernity without the complicated stuff I don't like" is the TLDR of wayyyy too many big political philosophies over the last 200 years.

getting this wrapped up in politicians really is freak shit. not healthy at all. they're eminently replaceable people you should be willing to dump the moment they're no longer useful. elected office isn't something owed to them

Good thread. The next POTUS must (1) destroy this monstrous monument to an individual's vanity, (2) restore the structure to the degree possible, and (3) seek accountability and justice for those who enabled this grotesque violation of the public trust.

Tortellini gnomes are a very real problem that plagues millions of households

No matter how much attention this gets, it’s not enough. These are high seas lynchings—extrajudicial executions—repugnant to rule of law, ruin our reputation globally, fuel our own internal legal/moral/ethical spiral, put us in league w vile terrorists: we are become hostis humani generis.

DoD has adopted this position wholesale now and frankly every commander who has done so needs to face an Article 32 hearing when this is over with, and any JAG who has gone along with it needs to be disbarred Big boy crimes need big boy consequences, at all levels of the chain
