Given the kind of arguments made by attorneys for this administration in court, and before media, this is a necessity. We need to ensure that people are held accountable for their behavior.

Meta earns $3.5 billion every six months from showing Faceboon and Instagram users 15 billion “higher legal risk” scam ad impressions a day, internal documents state. That haul vastly exceeds how much the company expects regulators To fine it for running scam ads. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

I would pay good money to convince DSA folks that "socialism" is legitimately triggering for a lot of people. I have spent hours explaining to folks whose definition of socialism is the Marxian socialism of the USSR that DSA people aren't aiming for socialism-like-Stalin, with gulags & all.

Idaho: no contraception, no abortions, no social support if you have a child. Women in Idaho are taking their lives in their hand if they choose to have sex.

Teen Vogue is no more. The brand lives on, the motivating energy that made Teen Vogue one of the outstanding reporting sources on this administration is no more.

Literally threatening retaliation for reporting they don’t like. This is today’s GOP.

When I say that the Democrats’ major issue is a communication problem not a policy problem, this is what I’m talking about.

Remember how we were discussing the Republicans weaponizing their political power? This is what we meant. Remember how the Republicans were claiming that Democrats weaponized political power? They meant enforcing the law against Republicans.

As the US Supreme Court abdicates its role of ensuring that the laws and Constitution are followed, state courts have to step into that gap. This looks like it'll be an interesting conference. I'm going to sign up to attend parts of it virtually. I'd go on person if I were anywhere near Chicago.

Breast cancer has nothing to do with "gender ideology." Fuck these people with a fucking cactus.

Going to see Dracula from the www.sunnyvaleplayers.org next weekend, and now will be looking for the train fixation.

The quality content I missed from #LawTwitter.

Here are the companies destroying the east wing of the White House

A depressing OpEd from Alan Greenblatt, a former editor of Governing, about how fear of the Trump Administration's revenge tour is silencing outlets that he hasn't attacked (yet). Props to Alan Greenblatt for resigning & writing this OpEd. And props to @politico.com for running it.

Social media users adopt the toxic behaviors of ingroup members An analysis of 7 million tweets from over 700,000 accounts finds that exposures to toxic behavior by ingroup members is the primary driver of contagious toxicity online academic.oup.com/jcmc/article...

Daryl Jenkins’ work is even more necessary now as a new generation is being deliberately radicalized by the right. I donated.

"So if you’re wondering where Trump learned the trick of recasting American history as uniquely belonging to him, look no further than the current Supreme Court’s manipulation of the core legal principle of stare decisis." - @matthewwollin.bsky.social www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-scot...

Massive cinnamon recall from the FDA. If you use any non-Ceylon cinnamon check the recall list. www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2... Also switch to Ceylon because Cassia cinnamon can cause liver damage. www.consumerlab.com/answers/cinn...

The Trump administration is offering $60K in student loan forgiveness as a recruitment tool for ICE, which just proves fighting Biden on student loan relief was never about the loans or “paying your own debt.” It was about who was offering it and who it would’ve helped.

I did NOT expect them to actually link antifascism to the 1930s antifascist movement in Germany. They are not just dog whistling Nazis anymore. They are making it explicit.

In our new factsheet, we highlight examples of U.S. citizens being ensnared by this administration’s mass deportation crusade. americasvoice.org/press_releas...

If you're an author and have ever wondered hopefully whether it might be worth replying to the nice lady who wants to get your book to the dedicated readers in her {Exactly Your Book's Genre} book club, please read this.

I'm giving a talk on "After Patent Republic?" on 22 October, 3pm GMT, online, in which I'll think about the role of patent law in non-democratic and authoritarian polities. It's part of @ishtip.bsky.social's 2025-6 Seminar Series. Everyone welcome. Abstract and registration:

So exhausting..

Holy moly, this expressed one of the things that had been so weird about Trump so well.

So awkward to find out that people you admire and respect who you want to be like when you grow up are younger than you. You all are amazing!

Listen to someone who has been through it under Putin.

Another terminally online young man. Seems we have a problem.

JUST IN: The Trump administration's bid to coerce states to comply with immigration enforcement in order to receive disaster aid is illegal and unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled today. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

“Transcribers of government statements” are not journalists.

What’s rule by arbitrary decisions of a strongman called again?

Dutch late night TV has its take

folks surfaced a lot of past brendan carr tweets that seem to contradict his current agenda but i feel like this one got unfairly slept on a bit

I find this extremely chilling: I spoke w a reporter this morning about Kimmel. (Reporter was / is great) They got back to me a short while ago to say they sought White House comment & WH demands to know first which experts they spoke with. I told reporter I'm happy to be quoted IN THE STORY but 1/x

Barely satire now. chaser.com.au/world/trump-...

“If it’s not yet clear, there’s a violent information war going on. And the folks who care about things like foundational ethics, informed consensus, and the public good are losing.” Unsubscribe from companies and billionaires keen on crushing democratic norms and basic human rights!

If you see this quote why the energy you bring to Bluesky.

From the Hankyoreh, the leading left-leaning newspaper in Korea. They’re not mincing their words. english.hani.co.kr/arti/english...

Describing Charlie Kirk as the White Citizens Council-version of the KKK is painfully accurate. He wanted to use economic pressure instead of violence to achieve the same racist ends.

I guess this was a price he was willing to pay.

Is ICE about to go buck wild using cell site simulators? Good thing EFF has a project to help you detect them: www.eff.org/deeplinks/20... www.forbes.com/sites/the-wi...

/8 Fight, scorn, defy, and obstruct them, because they are the unapologetic forces of ignorance, bigotry, and thuggery.

Did @microsoft.com Outlook's attachment reminder break? It was great at reminding me to attach things when the text said "please find attached" or the like. But today I got a notice for (1) an email that just said "Thanks, I'll talk to you tomorrow," and (2) an email that included the attachment.

BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.

If you see this repost with a vampire that is not Dracula.

This will have reverberations for decades. I know the actual fire is raging, but in addition to starting fires they are also burying landmines that will be fucking things up well after the regime is deposed (if the US survives this shitshow).
