perhaps some sort of white sheet with a pointed hood.

maybe i’m being a debbie downer but given the current state of 14th amendment jurisprudence, the administration losing on birthright citizenship brings us a step closer to extremely punitive measures for pregnant immigrants, maybe up to forced sterilization.

Ka$h and it is not even close. Patel is an alcoholic and a partier. Kavenaugh and Hegseth are violent towards women.

Patel and it's not close

its completely underated how this is the most openly corrupt administrations in the entirety of human history

I don’t see how these signs are mimicking the nicene creed, or indeed any creed. The creed starts with credo, not in hoc domum. Vance would know this if he were a real trad.

4 of the justices literally do not believe the reconstruction amendments are part of the constitution. 2 of the justices only sometimes do. We’re a car wreck or a case of pneumonia away from literally not being a republic.

Jefferies and Schumer making it very clear that they are very much not up to the challenge, as they view the birthright citizenship ruling as a big win rather than an ominous warning of the future

For them, it does. They cannot conceive of a world in which someone they think should belong to a suboordinate class has the same rights as them. That's also why they hate the Reconstruction amendments. bsky.app/profile/gabr...

if anything degrades my citizenship it’s letting people like alito into positions of authority. He should be on a derrick instead of a pedestal.

elderly council of wizards mandates child gential inspections.

The reason conservatives went with “actually they agree with us they just don’t want to say it” as their theory of change is because it’s largely true.

5-4 on the constitutional question? We’re in danger. It should have never gotten cert; it should have been 9-0, I wouldn’t have been surprised at 7-2, but 5-4 is pretty bad.

I'll just say that I am *more* surprised by Justice Gorsuch's vote in the birthright citizenship case than I am by Justice Kavanaugh's. I had thought the 6-3 tariffs lineup was a real possibility after the oral argument, but not 5-4 on the constitutional question.

Fuck this entire court. 9-0 on Title IX grounds is unbelievable. The whole point of Title IX was to provide equal opportunity regardless of sex. But apparently sex based discrimination is fine as long as the person has a gender identity not identical to their sex.

Rufo has now primed Klein to accept the first step in the radicalisation pipeline of irrational fear over 'large-scale demographic change'. Klein is now openly affirming the 'concerns' underlying the Great Replacement Theory in The New York Times. Great job, Klein! You did it! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

an abundance of white nationalism

this is the only project 2029 i want to hear about.

Been waiting for this story. ICE deports people to Venezuela three times a week, there are likely many more recent deportees with valid asylum claims in the rubble. Hope that GlobalX crew loses some sleep knowing they flew a planeload of shackled men & women, plus seven children, to their deaths.

If you murder a string of Supreme Court justices and then appeal your conviction back up to the Supreme Court, all the remaining judges must recuse themselves with conflicts of interest. You are automatically freed; the perfect crime. No law school is brave enough to admit this.

Elon Musk is straightforwardly Nazi posting every single day. If you can’t straightforwardly say he is evil at this point you never will.

stop, I already like her. You don’t have to keep selling her.

the absentee ballot one makes me feel slightly better about citizenship since that means there are five justices who are not literally illiterate. There is a limit to how stupid they’re willing to be to achieve a result.

The last time they had a chance for court reform (a mere 5 years ago) they took the only viable option (court packing) off the table. They will not have 60 dems in the senate. Schumer is unlikely to exert any pressure on ~5 holdout dems to kill the filibuster.

A libertarian guy I know who works for the Cato Institute was ruminating on this exact kind of attitude recently. "They endorsed that libertarian logic precisely because they DIDN'T believe in it. They didn't think the market would ever REALLY do what they were telling everyone it would."

Humphrey's Executor is dead and the president can fire anyone in the executive branch at will but NOT Federal Reserve governors is really a parody of the difference between the money power and everything else in America

The 6 conservative justices should find themselves in a 200-6 minority. If the next dem president loses 6-3, that’s their fault. They know what the deal is, and failure to expand the court should be treated as complicity.

I should move to england. I could afford at least two or three MPs, while here I can’t even afford a state representative.

What does this fraud think insurance is? 40% of aca subsidy recipients are committing fraud by not filing claims? Surely dr oz knows someone who can explain insurance fraud. Maybe senator rick scott?

As a corollary, president [random dem] should be prepared to exert a massive amount of coercion on any dems in the senate who would rather preserve the filibuster than democracy.

need to start thinking now about a full package of judicial reforms: new justices, new circuits, new district courts, ethics reforms, docket reforms, and transparency reforms.

One thing I find fascinating about contemporary US conservatism is that on one hand it sees 'DEI' as a threat to merit-based advancement but on the other it doesn't see evident patronage and corruption as problems.

Obviously racism and partisan hypocrisy are big explanatory factors here but even so the cognitive dissonance is striking.

Weird that the sacrificing European theory only applies to hot days and not cold ones. Super strange.

- shamelessly results oriented - this should vacate the whole regulatory scheme. The delegations of authority are based on the assumption that the agencies answer to congress.

They should make this theory canon. They still could. Reveal that actually obi wan died at the end of the dumb miniseries.

Fuck greenblatt but it still isn’t clear to me what wiener did? His website issues page on gaza is pretty good.

incredible that msnbc is supposed to be the lib counter to fox news and they continue to have ghouls like nepo-baby brzezinski and gingrich’s friend Scarborough.

This is who matthew yglesias thinks every dem candidate should copy.

This is insane and fascistic. But also I’d trust rando members of the public more than the average BIA judge here.

I would also like to say that ICE’s director is a nazi.

“Haha we have life tenure, there’s nothing you democrats can do to stop us!” and “the president has Purge Authority” would be derided as some middle school level Chekov’s Gun foreshadowing if it appeared in, like, the Star Wars prequels

this wouldn’t work legally because a President has no authority to remove a Supreme Court justice. however the President could instead simply drone strike them. it sounds like i’m being snarky but as a result of the immunity decision this is the actual law.

“Oh is there a sporpsball happening?” while the people of Lawrence Kansas rolls out the fuckin red carpet for the Algerian team training there, get a heart

shocking that the people that overwhelmingly benefit from gentrification think it's good

I've come around to deciding that it's actually good that they keep asking Zohran this question because it clarifies to the listener that a Jewish state and a state of all its citizens are not compatible and the people asking the question are implicitly acknowledging that they know that.

‘Greater North America’

what an incredible coincidence that the racist people, institutions, and structures that maintain these poor segregated communities sometimes decide to buy up poor areas as an act of reparations I guess?

In the original segment, a heckler in the crowd yells "but socialism killed eleventy gorillion people" and Mr. Sanders replies "make that eleventy gorillion and ONE! That's right. You die." and the crowed obliged to erase the heckler's existence
