BREAKING: Luigi Mangione's lawyers have filed a motion to dismiss his case on constitutional grounds. Some arguments are specific to his case, involving AG Bondi's actions, while others are more generally applicable. Law Dork earlier covered the underlying conduct: www.lawdork.com/p/luigi-mang...

There goes the First Amendment.

When authoritarianism is on the rise, you can count on the richest, least vulnerable men on the planet to be the biggest cowards.

Previous generations fought fascism in nearly every corner of the earth. Today it’s on our streets, silencing opposition and attempting to control the airwaves. The GOP has declared all out war on free speech. It’s up to us to fight for it.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

The Israeli army has now bombed the children’s hospital in Gaza City three times. If you really think that bombing a hospital full of sick and injured children – repeatedly – is a legitimate act of self defence, I suggest you examine your conscience.

Trans rights are human rights.

ABC news is repeating this ‘not cooperating’ line. There’s no obligation for a criminal suspect to ‘cooperate’ with police. He’s exercising his right to silence, guaranteed by the US Constitution (and, in Australia, the common law).

Today we remember 11 September 1973, where Chile’s democratically elected Allende govt. was overthrown in a military coup backed by Washington and facilitated by Australia’s intelligence services. The result was Pinochet’s dictatorship that killed and tortured thousands. 🧵👇

Maybe it’s the guns

Mark my words, this regime is going to target activists and media personalities like they would terrorist organizations or the mob, and they'll use this and similar incidents as the excuse to charge "conspiracy." Stormy waters ahead

Somehow I think the "it's not the time to politicise gun deaths" people will sing a different tune today.

What happened at SCOTUS today is alarming: The right-wing majority allowed the Trump admin, as part of its sweeping immigration raids, to racially profile Spanish-speaking people who look Latino at certain low-wage job sites in the Los Angeles area while litigation challenging the raids is ongoing.

"Democratic leaders have had six months to come up with a plan. If there’s a better plan than a shutdown, great. But if the plan is still nothing, then Democrats need new leaders."

BREAKING: The Supreme Court — over the objection of Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson — allows the Trump administration’s racial profiling of people working certain types of jobs in its immigration raids during litigation.

How delightfully selective bodily autonomy applies to vaccines but not wombs. Apparently the Constitution protects your right to spread measles but not to choose motherhood. One can only admire such principled inconsistency. Freedom means infecting babies, tyranny means reproductive choice.

Perfectly normel cuontry

There are too many people in this country who truly believe that vaccines will hurt them but guns will save them. We will all suffer because of it.

Looks like they buried the lead.
