From Bovino's deposition: (1) he calls protestors "violent" if they articulate views hostile to ICE, even if no violence is manifested; (2) he instructs his forces to attack and arrest protestors who express "hyperbolic comments," which is to say, criticism of ICE and Bovino.

Ok well, “I’m not gonna” is not usually a thing you can tell a judge in response to an order

JFC. At least Marie Antoinette let them eat cake. apple.news/A6DZ7_ffWTFS...

here, read a bunch of screenshots

@nytimes.com Let this be an opportunity to hold him accountable. He's putting the truth of whatever statements at issue. Take advantage. Accurate accounts of his deposition will bring you subscribers. Caving to this frivolous garbage will leave your subscribers (including me) canceling in disgust.

Note to self: Don't mindlessly cast Timetwister when you're trying to hide behind Ensnaring Bridge. Drawing 7 when you have an empty hand is *not* always good. Kudos to @oddindeed.bsky.social for another great TCBC #canlander tournament.

@carmparens.bsky.social I'm disappointed that y'all didn't ban something from Oops. A Turn 1 combo deck is fine, provided it's a glass cannon. But one that's consistent and resilient makes a miserable format. It creates large numbers of non-games and a poor play experience. #mtglegacy

Idea: Cid cube. Just Cid. No other cards.

“Independence day is canceled because of fear of secret police raids” is really a level of on the nose political symbolism you just can’t make up.

A Muslim candidate for mayor of the nation's largest city, defending the rights of a Jewish candidate for mayor, who was arrested for defending the rights of immigrants not to face detention without warrants. This is the kind of solidarity Trump and his goons fear.

I saw this on Facebook and couldn't stop laughing because my sense of humor is still in 5th grade.

Alitos’s dissent in AEA case 🙄

Top-tier lawyers aren't cheap, but the rule of law is priceless. www.hannahdugandefensefund.org

And this is why due process, and requiring the government to justify to a judge *why* they grabbed you off the street and stuck you in jail, matters

Umm, fuck that. I want to pick up pasteurized milk from the grocery store. Preferably without salmonella.

@rmfifthcircuit.bsky.social I have a rather large judgment to appeal to the 8th Circuit. (~$960m between the various entities). Do you have any recommendations for who to use for a supersedeas bond of that size?

Oh good. I was starting to worry that 2025 wasn't nearly shitty enough. Clearly, what we needed was a dramatic escalation of tensions between nuclear-armed rivals.

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet. Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

This. AI is no substitute for a real lawyer and may result in a judge getting pissed the fuck off at you for filing pseudolegal gobbledygook citing hallucinated cases. (This goes for lawyers too. If you use AI for research, for the love of god check *every* cite before using it in a brief.)

While Clement has argued some problematic substantive positions, there's no denying he's a fucking rockstar of an appellate lawyer in terms of skill. I'm thrilled to see he's on the right side of the v for this.

So who am I going to see at #SCGMINN???

If this wasn’t posted by @atrupar.com I would have thought it had to be a doctored screenshot. But…it’s not

If members of the press are worried they didn’t give enough coverage to the cognitive decline of a sitting president, they have an amazing opportunity to make up for it right now.

Trump says that any American who shows “dissension” against MAGA should be “immediately ejected” from their member of Congress’ town halls. This is fascism.

Random Thought: If you had a lawsuit in Faerûn and wanted to use Speak With Dead to get info from a corpse during discovery, would it be a deposition or a request for the production of tangible things?

I genuinely love my governor.

One of the funniest parts of Trump 2 is the shitbox lawyering because no one good is left to do it

I just discovered that this is a thing. We absolutely need some tyromancer cards in Magic. Cheese mages are seriously unrepresented in the game, and that's just not okay. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyromancy

I'm sorry the Bill of Rights is such a fucking inconvenience for you, your majesty.

I’m beginning to think they’re not litigating in good faith.

Unban Recurring Nightmare

JD Vance is so toxic that just being near him was enough to kill the Pope.

An exchange with my kid at school drop off today. Gideon: I forgot what staff means Me: It's like a tall stick that wizards use to cast spells Gideon: No, on that sign *sign reads "staff parking only"* Me: Oh, that's different 😅

I love this analysis. "Official" acts in direct violation of multiple court orders are ultra vires, therefore not official acts as a matter of law.

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

well if there is one thing whose awesome power republican presidents respect and are powerless in the face of it's a central american nation's national sovereignty

Let my people go.

If I ever have occasion to write a brief about suppositories, I will cite Judge Oldham's opinion from a few minutes ago, explaining where one puts them. Link to come later.

Thinking about trying this in my Post build. Turns off FoW, all fetchlands, and Surgical (which often gets brought in against me by Wasteland decks), and doubles as a board wipe.

Trying to decide whether to get the Commander Celebration pass thingy at #SCGCon Minneapolis. Worth it?

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

You can tell who the Good Guys are because they're the ones smashing a car window to drag a mother away from her child while wearing ski masks.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Well, looks like Omo is a solid Bracket 4…
