I am currently entirely odd. I remain hopeful that at least some of my even will return with time.

Weird Al going hard in response to the second question. Watch it

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

"I was saying de Boo"

No booing sure, of course. But what if we're all just cheering for our favorite Olympic athlete, speed skater Jenning de Boo of the Netherlands? www.olympics.com/en/milano-co...

I was at a protest in Laguna Beach, CA in 2017 and a middle aged white guy objected to me referring to a counter protester as a Nazi. He still didn’t think it was appropriate when I pointed out the man in question had a swastika tattooed on his neck. 🤷

DeWald takes a moment to dispute the idea that DHS is a "client" of the U.S. attorney's office. "They can't tell us what to do. We can't tell them what to do." Alexakis notes that there is a "unitary executive theory," but turns back to the motion.

No *error*; it was defended. “This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle & Democrats as characters from the Lion King. Please stop the fake outrage & report on something today that actually matters to the American public.” — WH Press Sec Karoline Leavitt

Tim Scott, basically: "Yeah, they've said and done a lot of racist stuff before, but this one is really bad"

Good man

I watched too much Zach Wilson to want any part of a QB whose primary "escape from pressure" move in the playoffs was "turn your back to the LOS and run" That stuff gets you killed in the NFL

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit. Gentle Spades "I'm a veteran"

Before Trump 2.0, this was one of my biggest fears. With everything that's happened in the last year, it may seem like small news -- just another stream in the constant firehose of institutional destruction. But it's not. Effectively losing the professional federal civil service is a very bad thing.

Legally here on a work permit. Arrested when he went to renew it. Not fighting his deportation. Yet he's been in detention 29 days. No access to a lawyer. Has been given no information about his case. Family inquiries also ignored. ICE only responded when local news requested comment.

Job of a lawyer is to tell you what the risks of various options are. It's up to you to decide how much risk you're willing to take on

Rule of Goats 2.0 cc: @kenwhite.bsky.social

hitting that open wound over and over again will push Trump over the edge. He will do things that will put the administration in grave peril

Saw a post on here insisting that 4chan is an Israeli op

God dayamn

oh.

Economic anxiety

Be right back, gotta run to the Don

You know what's going on

I mean "additional glide surface" IS the canonical reason someone would penis pump

Yes.

The PRESIDENT. Of these United States. Has a personal vendetta. Against a FIVE YEAR OLD. In a BUNNY hat.

Just like with Kilmer Abrego Garcia, the biggest sin any targeted immigrant can commit is winning battles — legal or PR battles — against the government, and they just won’t let those losses go

Me, seeing the Court finally reference the Plaintiff's counsel and realizing that I know the guy who was on the other side of the worst AI disaster I've ever heard of. I can only imagine how hard Efrem had to work to keep a straight face through all of this

Don't always agree with A.R. This is a slam fucking dunk

If you won’t say this, you should not hold public office

Dilley is a hellhole and we have to get it shut down and all those kids freed.

Dems should be explicit that when they retake Congress and the White House they will be stripping his name off of everything. The ego damage would be significant

when i was a 16yo girl i thought i was an adult. coaching 12-17yo girls as a 28yo really hammered home how much i was wrong about being an adult at 16 and how obvious it is to actual adults that a 16yo is not an adult. if they say they cannot tell they are lying because they are a creep.

For those who don't know, Luttig was once considered the intellectual heir to Scalia. He was about as conservative a judge as you could find...

Let’s be reasonable. If they had to agree to those things, how could they ever get the fascism done?

Put out an offer that seems very reasonable when you list the bullet points and they balk and wind up without dhs funding, great. Working out better than if I was in charge of comms just saying, ‘Hey we should just not fund dhs.’

I’m totally ok with homeland security shutdown. Travelers will be super inconvenienced. I’m sure some people will miss important things and that’s a big sacrifice. But still.

I'm quite pleased to learn that she's a Pats fan

Do you know how mad a judge has to be to call out your grammatical errors

Here's what Republicans think is "unrealistic" 1) Need a judicial warrant to enter private property 2) Require verification that someone is not a US citizen before sending them to immigration detention 3) No masks 4) No secret police: Officers must have ID 5) Keep enforcement away from

Neil Gaiman would be perfect

It's not 'boys being boys', it's 'abusers being abusers' and the sooner we as a society stop normalizing this shit, the better.

What piece of music do you recognize most immediately? Not "what's your favorite" - what's the one that you can identify the quickest. Realized this morning that for me it's probably Sombr's 12 to 12. 2 notes, less than a second in, immediately obvious what song it is

I'm not sure what to make of it, but every Somali I represent in immigration court currently (8 of them) have today had their hearings cancelled and their judges reassigned. They're now all assigned to a video judge from Louisiana and scheduled for court hearing in one month. 🧵

Dear AUSAs, The tool you use to draft motions is the same one that can draft a resignation letter. You have nothing to lose. Being an AUSA is a mark of prestige no longer. Those you _want_ to work with in the future will value your honorable resignation above an ignominious compliance.

The correct answer is "because his exit plan is to go public and people will invest in this if you have a vaguely plausible sounding claim that requires expertise to debunk"
