I'm all for pardons and second chances. But it's a hell of a juxtaposition to pardon millionaire NFL players convicted of drug distribution while you're summarily executing impoverished fishermen making a few hundred bucks to shuttle drugs around the Caribbean.

“a monopoly on humanities funding” 🤡

Stating these absurd ideas as if matters of fact in a judicial opinion offering zero citations to support them is not what I would call “good Behaviour.”

Or we could just not be fascists, I dunno.

“In sum, what are we even doing here?”

The moral of the story: Appeasing evil will bite you in the ass.

“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:

Das Leben der Anderen (2026)

Looks promising, but I’ll need to consult my anger translator on this part.

New game: Who’s abducting your mother? Professional kidnapper or ICE agent

Favorite song with “Baba O’Riley” in the title? I’d probably have to go with Baba O’Riley (by The Who).

Wow, these dipshit fascists are really going for it. The ham sandwich era is over.

All we ask is that DHS do fascism the right way.

Still waiting on this.

The last time this man was at liberty, Justice Kavanaugh was still writing his Vasquez Perdomo concurrence.

Bad news, guys—we failed to heed the libertarians’ warning.

American jingoism parodied in THE EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF MR WEST IN THE LAND OF THE BOLSHEVIKS. A Russian conman salutes the flag socks of an American abroad to convey his deep and most sincere respect for the USA.

Shades of Lindsey Halligan messaging @annabower.bsky.social

What lesson do you think the fascist learns when you spend time and space engaging seriously with the intentionally absurd, frivolous things they say merely to amuse themselves?

Under the original understanding, it wasn’t very ladylike to participate in such matters.

“No.”—the science

Well, well, well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions.

This is really an instance of a very longstanding trend where secular pundits end up unwittingly aligned with fundamentalists in treating the crudest and most extreme version of any faith as the genuine article and everything else as somehow inauthentic.

The presumption of regularity should be abolished, or the burden to rebut it recognized as slight.

I stopped watching at the end of season two, by which time the story was ablitz with Chekhov’s guns and it was becoming clear that few, if any of them, would ever be fired.

I'm starting to think their midterms plan is to lose so many seats that it actually seems suspicious lol

Well look at the Times—using its own judgment, drawing inferences from the facts, and reporting on the story with an eye on how the story would be reported if these events were occurring in a peripheral country.

In the canon of "awful SCOTUS decisions of the Trump Era," Trump v. Hawaii in 2018 should probably rank higher. Maybe not as consequential as Trump v. U.S. or Trump v. Anderson, but the Chief Justice's yawning indifference to Trump's bigotry helped set the stage for everything that's come since...

The Obamas became the face of the racial revolution in America — the physical embodiment of white supremacy's institutional demise. As such, it almost didn't matter how post-racial they tried to be: their mere presence in the White House was a psychological affront to the old order's adherents.

Frankly starting to have my doubts that Trump is in fact “the least racist person.”

lol ffs

Lone Thought Rattles Around in Bog-Standard Lock-Step Trump Cultist GOP Senator's Skull: it's 15,600 words!

What a fantastic speaker.

I’ve never seen this kind of analysis of NBA players’ shot paths. youtube.com/shorts/m0v_F...

This question is most easily answered in federal habeas cases under AEDPA, where you lose even when you are “clearly” right but the state court was “reasonably” wrong.

John Cage’s 4’33”

Starting to think these weren’t really applied with the consideration required by law

Do it.

He’s right.

Today I am teaching Prigg v. Pennsylvania, which may be worse and more influential than Dred Scott. It radicalized countless normies into becoming abolitionists and provided constitutional cover for the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. I want to call out a thing about it that doesn’t get much attention.

Look, she was a tempting morsel, and given the prospect employer, I did her the favor of telling him so.

The point for SpaceX is once it's in mainstream indexes, index investors functionally are forced to buy. They cannot sell. And since Musk will control voting, they will have no rights at all. Functionally forced to supply capital. www.wsj.com/finance/stoc...

This is the strangers’ case; And this your mountainish inhumanity.

How can someone have all this and be unhappy
