ICE is not there to help TSA lines. It’s a show of force. It’s another test of what we’ll accept. It’s a threat.

The @kygop moves to impeach a circuit court judge because for them it’s never about the law. It’s simply about power, used maliciously and arrogantly. This isn’t Justice. It’s Just Us.

#ICE going to work TSA? What could go wrong?

“Duke is a 2nd half team!” Yeah. That’ll happen when they’ve been to the line 20 times already, you’ve been 7, you have 3 players in foul trouble, and you can’t guard anymore. Every game.

Throw. The ball. To. The people. On. Your own team.

The Association of American Editorial Cartoonists has joined Amnesty International, Reporters Without Borders, and 38 other Free Press organizations from around the world to condemn the unlawful arrest of journalist Estefany Rodriguez by ICE and demand her immediate release.

For Donald Trump. For Israel. For Genocide. For oil. For distraction. For billionaire child molesters. For the other billionaires. For the midterms. For the Republicans. For the Supreme Court majority. For ICE. For Pete Hegseth. But not for America. Not for me. Not for you.

Of course the enormous data center was sent to Rubber Town. The City’s explanation? “Well, all of the other nasty factories are already there”. Yeah, spend $200K to put back the statute even France didn’t want, but make it tell the truth.

“If you’re going to put your hand in your pocket during trial do it elegantly like Cary Grant would” I told my law students. “Cary Grant” I repeated. Blank stares. “George Clooney?” Stares. Arthritis can’t compete with this pain.

Coming to a courthouse near you soon: @louisvillelaw students who know How To Do Things. @annie__flores @bravox.99 @lochjessmonstr and @maddielhurley are WAY ahead of schedule.

America always comes for what Appalachia has and just takes it. Including its people.

He’s a monster but he’s keeping your taxes low He’s a monster but the Dow is over 50,000 He’s a monster but he made it safe for you to hate

Of course, as always, it’ll be the poor who die, disproportionately. The poor here. The poor there. While old men play games to protect themselves. Hell is empty and all the devils are here.

He we go again. The 50-page DOJ Report resulted in a Consent Decree that was slow-walked until it wasn‘t entered at all. Same as it ever was. #LMPD

UofL @universityoflouisville surrendered first to racist orders - now rescinded - from Washington and now is turning its back on the Pan African Studies program @uofl_pas the way it already has to every not-white and non-straight student on campus. The mascot should be a chicken, not a cardinal.

There was a @louisvillelaw Barristers Ball tonight in Louisville but there was a CORONATION in Birmingham. Our student advocates became trial lawyers right here in these Alabama courtrooms. Could not be more proud of @milan.carol23 and @alexnzeus (background pic) and @morgan_cornell and @khenry25.

You can parse this any way you’d like but Louisville has rolled out the red carpet for ICE. Cooperation with ICE statewide is rapidly expanding. Because, as is the American Way, we’ve grown used to them. They waited us out. America, given time, will usually accept cruelty. It’s in our DNA.

They’re not even hiding it. The terrifying thing is that they don’t think they have to. #SAVEAct

@uofllawreview setting the table for our future. @louisvillelaw leading the way again. See you there!

There are bigger fish to fry in our nation BUT I have a big enough reservoir of anger to save some of it for COLLEGE BASKETBALL REFEREES WHO AUTOMATICALLY BLOW THEIR WHISTLES on EVERY contested play at the basket. Lazy and usually incorrect.

Every once in a while and not often enough legend @502eire.lol and I get together. I’m lucky to know her.

I was in a law firm with this guy. He didn’t seem like a bootlicking racist then. I mean, he was. He just didn’t seem like it. There was still at least the pretense of shame about it. Not anymore. They brag about it.

We worship them. Elevate them to a place of reverence. Assume they are smarter and work harder than everyone else. We elect them to offices they have no business being near. Their words are treasured as wisdom. They are protected by laws written by politicians beholden to their support.

For Justice Sotomayor, and for America. Get you a Supreme Court Justice who can stand almost alone for our democracy AND be name-checked by Bad Bunny at a concert. #SuperBowlSunday

Glad my art is being put to good use in Minneapolis: @christylynncostello posters and tee-shirts for a ROCK SHOW to raise money for the battle against #ICE there. This Machine Kills Fascists.

BREAKING: After forcing one of America’s great institutions to serve his interests alone, it has become intellectually bankrupt and Trump has now announced the closure of the United States Supreme Court for at least two years . . . no wait. My bad. The Kennedy Center.

This is not a coincidence. It never has been. The former DOJ investigated after Breonna Taylor’s death and wrote an entire 50 page report about the racism that is part of the core fiber of Louisville policing. The resulting Consent Decree was slow-walked ultimately to its death. There will be more.

Subzero temps last night and a still frigid morning doesn’t keep the @louisvillelaw #NationalMootCourt team from grinding on a Saturday morning. Go Cards! @universityoflouisville

We’re running out of “hills to die on”. Pick one quick or we’re done for.

Who shot Alex Pretti? It’s a simple question. Demand an answer. Or admit that they are in fact Secret Police and you don’t live in a free country.

These borders, far more important than a fence in a desert, are under attack from within - from our side of the wall. Attacked by the President. Attacked by the federal judges he appointed who rubber stamp his Administration’s orders 93% of the time. The call is coming from inside the house.

Déjà vu? Yeah. I posted this less than 20 days ago. Copy And Paste Fascism.

ICE OUT. No excuses. For the Courier Journal.

I’m well-acquainted with the real world and exigencies of politics. I understand both federal funding on the one hand and the fact that any such demand may have little effect on the other. But leadership is about message sending. Allowing them here, cooperating even, is already sending the wrong one

Today JCPS Law & Government and Pre-Law Magnet students came to the law school for a day as law students. This diverse, engaged, and brilliant group is ready to tackle and repair our world. Give them the space. Give them the opportunity. Give them time. The kids are alright.

Viper’s Nest. Elon Musk donated $10M to Nate Morris. White Supremacy will always support its defenders. True Fact: The disgusting liquid that flows from landfills is called leachate. Garbage Man Nate Morris is worse than that. The Courier Journal cartoon.

As a lawyer often called upon to distinguish apparently identical situations and as a #BuffaloBills fan I can say without reservation that the “interception” on Saturday in Denver is completely and utterly indistinguishable from the “catch” in Chicago on Sunday. They’re the same thing.

I know “blah blah blah we gotta‘ just appeal to these people to win the next election” and that’s why we don‘t have healthcare, transit, or funded education and the Fascists ultimately won. We’ve been doing the same thing for decades. Time to try harder.

1/ Kentucky, through its elected leaders, and Louisville, via the same (Democrats included) are collaborating with our Fascist president’s foot soldiers. There’s no need to compare ICE with Nazi SS or Brownshirts.

This year’s MLK Day political art, early for you. Racism and its most important allies - the white moderates - win again in Louisville.

And I’m begging the shooter to claim self defense. Begging.

I’m not supporting any Democratic candidate for President who doesn’t intend to charge, prosecute, and imprison if convicted the President and others complicit with him under the criminal law. We did “let’s just restore decency” already and it got us here. It’s not enough.

The Department of Justice investigated Louisville policing and in a 50-page report found systemic racism and abuses, without even mentioning the FOP. Now, the resulting consent decree has been abandoned by Pam Bondi’s DOJ. The investigation and report buried, like Breonna herself.
