Admission to a capricious abuse of power based on petty grievance—a power usurped from Congress.

The framers were wrong about a lot of stuff but they were definitely onto something with juries

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.

Friends, can I ask you to spread the word that we have a THREE-YEAR postdoc in American history at Cambridge up for grabs - ANY field, but applications are due March 1 so don't delay - apply, apply, apply! networks.h-net.org/jobs/69790/u...

They're calling it the most embarrassing op-ed of all time: The Louisiana SG, who has multiple cases pending before the Supreme Court right now, writing an essay about how his old boss, Justice Samuel Alito, is the nicest, smartest, bestest justice who ever lived www.foxnews.com/opinion/i-wo...

It is incredible how people will just find a way to tell you that bullying is okay

holy shit i knew there was a fawning bio but MOLLIE HEMINGWAY lolllll. though i guess she already wrote a soft-focus book about Kavanaugh, so....

yessssssssss

Stanford is doing this because it wants to

ICE had the worst of the worst after all. Not in custody, but on payroll.

"construction jobs are way up" [EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER]

NEW: Judge Tunheim rejects a DOJ request to dissolve his TRO in the putative class-action refugee case in Minnesota: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

one thing that has always confused me about these hypos where the House refuses to recognize Dem winners—the House isn't a continuing body, and it wouldn't be the current House that would be seating anyone. it's the incoming House. www.vox.com/politics/478...

serious q: doesn't DOJ allowing congress to see additional and (ostensibly) unredacted files still run afoul of the transparency act? the obligations aren't met by "congress can look at documents on a few computers." This seems like an admission additional files exist but will never be provided?

The man shat himself at a press conference and claimed China is going to cancel hockey.

Initially read this as Humpty Dance but still went "sure, why not?

If Bad Bunny can cover the history of Puerto Rico, colonialism, transatlantic slavery, hemispheric consciousness, as well as contemporary life and politics in under 14 minutes, you can do your 15- or 20-minute conference presentation with time to spare.

New research just dropped, as the kids say. My partner @medialawprof.bsky.social and took a look at how states are trying to stop people from using AI to lie. We settled on A) it probably won’t work, B) is very probably unconstitutional, and C) tech companies need to prioritize tools to help users.

Hilarious to watch the NYT try to spin this as a strategy of some sorts rather than the act of a delusional madman who just loves bombs and violence

it does strike me how completely unsubtle the abuser talk is here; you’re totally ungrateful to me for how good i am to you, you’ll regret leaving me for anyone else, anyone else would be much worse to you, you owe me for everything i have done for you

Minnesotans have known for well over a decade what absolute trash this dude became www.today.com/news/cee-lo-...

One thing about the boat strikes that has become clearer as they've persisted and shifted to the Pacific is that though the early strikes in the Caribbean may have partially served as saber rattling towards Maduro, they served other functions as well—including performative killing for its own sake.

Hassett really has an S-tier punchable face.

JUST IN: Judge John Tunheim (Clinton) rejects Trump admin bid to lift order blocking mass detention of immigrants in Minnesota admitted to US as refugees. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

A shot in the dark for #academicsky: I am looking for a recurring national survey tracking attitudes on gay adoption/marriage through self-completed/online surveys. Ideally, it would cover years both pre- and post-legalisation. Eternal gratitude to the person who can help me out!

having a washed-up white dude whose main claim to fame is washed-up white rap from 30 years ago take a shot at someone routinely named one of the greatest rappers of all time as a "DEI hire" is hilarious. there's a DEI hire here, buddy, but it isn't Hova.

Deeply weird and not great that the administration sees no problem with their jobs messaging being, essentially, "you are going to lose your job, but the magic beans will work at some undefined later time"

oh man i honestly cannot imagine MPR without Paul Huttner

omg i would walk into the sea before ever doing anything this whiny or embarrassing

I really need people outside of Seattle to know how much Krist Novoselic sucks

The lyrics to most of Kid Rock's songs trigger the requirement to report exposure to his son.

the first choice is literally what Jesus would teach, i feel like i'm losing my mind

Attorney for the United States:

I took part in a Stand With Minnesota event last week where I asked Mayor Frey about the negative impact ICE is having on the Minneapolis business community

The political version of the professional student going for multiple post-graduate degrees

These people pictured Triumph of the Will and pageantry for the ages if they supported the ethnic cleansing machine. But what they're getting is public shunning and being forced to pretend they like Kid Rock.

All-time tweet.

lol ok buddy

I feel like I'm losing my goddamnned mind. This op-ed was written by Kathrine Mangu-Ward. Katherine is editor-in-chief of Reason magazine. Reason fired @shikhadalmia.bsky.social for being too anti-Trump.

This is really what separates Trump from Stephen Miller. He'll make it 11/14ths of the way through the 14 words and then stop to complain about Mike Tirico.

The Sermon on the Mount, by Beryl Lewis, before 1965, 📸 by @ScottStrazzante

Brett Ratner, the sex pest who came out of retirement to direct the Melania movie that Jeff Bezos spent $75 million on as thousands of people at Amazon and the Washington Post lost their jobs, helped produce an ad in which rapist Mike Tyson spewed fatphobic dreck for Secretary Bear Carcass

The vibe of the Halftime Show

Going from that incredible show to Mike Tyson fat shaming America on behalf of RFK Jr. is some fucking tonal whiplash

so much fucking joy

RICKY!

this is 1000% times better than i expected and i already expected SO MUCH
