Our system is based on checks and balances. The President can veto acts of Congress, Congress can deny funding and investigate the Executive, and 6 FedSoc hacks can remove an inconvenient amendment stopping them from disenfranchising Black people.

Elect aspiring fascist dictators, get fascist show trials to appease the dictator.

I wish more cases were dismissed with a "Take this shit to civil court" from the presiding judge.

The left’s almost jocular response to last night’s gunfire at the White House Correspondents Dinner stood in marked contrast to the somber tone adopted by Republicans in the wake of the hammer attack on Paul Pelosi

Our media, collectively, is staffed by children with absolutely no memory or object permanence.

Pro Wrestling company and training school. I already plotted out my main gimmick for the title (by which I mean I'm shamelessly stealing from a show I watched as a kid).

Pretty much this. I don't wish the trauma of gun violence on anybody, but I'm not going to spend much time weeping into my drink because your Bradley-Martin Ball got broken up. In the fight against fascism, you decided it was cool to side with the fascists so long as you got to play dress up.

All coming right after his popularity hits historic lows.

Can you imagine how amazing it would should the event occur on camera? Like Trump just slumps forward for the last time in the middle of an oval office meeting?

One of the worst trends in modern entertainment reporting is plucking comments from randos on social media and presenting it in an article as if it were representative of some larger sentiment.

Read @lilianasegura.bsky.social's incredible reporting inside the trial of the woman arrested for wearing a penis costume at a No Kings protest:

National Review published an article downplaying the SCOTUS link and defending Roberts' power grab, but I refuse to tank the psychic damage necessary to read it. Did anybody on #lawsky do a thread on it or review it at all?

Somebody come get this adorable creamsicle and give him the love he deserves! I would consider it myself, but my house is already full.

The fucking hacks on the Supreme Court seem to forget suing officers is the compromise position. Taking that away usually leads to very bad outcomes for the government's jackboots.

Four fundamental truths about this: 1. This is objectively the only possible result of this suit. 2. Any competent attorney would conclude this. 3. This lawsuit was never about winning. It was about punishing Maher for mocking her. 4. This abuse will continue until we get a federal Anti-SLAPP.

It's been almost two weeks with the Iceman as my profile Pic and I still keep seeing it and wondering why I chose The Godfather. 😂

The President calls every black person he doesn’t like “low IQ” and the media believes it absolutely critical we draw no conclusions from that

Bluesky is proving beyond all doubt the dream of user-provided moderation is terrible and will never work. It just opens up another avenue for abuse and namecalling for bad actors. They'd be better to get rid of it or, ironically, add moderation to the process.

it's his favorite substitute for the n-word

A worthless rag owned by one of the shittiest men in the country.

I did a medium dive into this botched appendectomy of a bill. mynews4.com/news/nation-...

I stand by this as my overarching political philosophy.

So when do we drive this Christofascists from our shores?

I would watch the shit out of this. Legitimately one of the most groundbreaking and transformative horror games of my life.

Exactly correct. When white people online do this shit, they are just invoking the concept of "Black women" like a protective totem so they can attack any dissent against their position as racism. It also gets them internet virtue points for "supporting a minority."

The worse this situation gets, the more it feels like history books will contain the sentence "World War 3 began in 2026 when The United States and Israel jointly attacked Iran."

It'll be interesting to see if this kind of stuff can break the lovefest. Evangelicals mostly support Israel because (1) they think it's necessary for the apocalypse and (2) shared hatred of Muslims, but this type of stuff will strain the preexisting antisemitism. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/...

How will they ever get past the lay-up that is actual malice? How could anybody seriously believe Patel drinks to excess? edition.cnn.com/2026/02/23/p...

I love seeing @aoc.bsky.social read that asshole Ted Yoho for filth, but the clip that's going around is from 2020. Yoho announced his retirement from Congress 6 years ago. abcnews.com/Politics/rep...

I love how even as they ostensibly tell the story of a massive Roberts power grab to advance explicit partisan goals, the NYTB still manages to frame it as partially Obama's fault.

Patel taking the lay up:

I always pushed against the tide on this. I love my digital music collection, but I only but from sources that let me download the tracks and store them myself. I pay extra for larger capacity phones so I can carry my full library with me on the go. Fuck Spotify.

This is an insult to what is objectively the best dinosaur ever: Pachycephalosaurus.

Post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet:

Oh, God, give us courage to change what must be altered, serenity to accept what can not be helped, and insight to know the one from the other. - Serenity 5:17.

I think it's undeniable that Americans writ large don't really care about human lives unless they've been whipped into a frenzy by the special-obsessive media coverage, which is nearly always reserved for attractive white women.

This is the correct result, but every municipal official involved should be followed home and pelted with week-old vegetables so they learn a lesson mynbc15.com/news/local/f...

I wanted to read this study, but I'm finding some weird irregularities that may just be a result of my lack of ability to find it. The Guardian article links to a Disease in Childhood archive from volume 107, issue 12 (see link below). It's paywalled, no surprise. adc.bmj.com/content/107/...

Anybody got the scoop on that Alabama penis costume trial?

Years ago, I had a client who almost got held in contempt for secretly recording court proceedings and then posting them on his blog. He was convinced he was the victim of a massive conspiracy and everybody (including me of course) was biased against him. /1

"Blockade the strait! No more Iranian oil for the world!" Sorry, that's a printing error. It should read: "Blockade the strait? No! More Iranian oil for the world." Oops, probably shouldn't have that Nobel Logo.....

We all agree they fucking right?

Democrats need to add Rao and Walker to the judicial impeachment list.

Should be part of his next test.

🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾 This all ends with The Pope excommunicating a large swath of American right-wingers. 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾

Ah, Politico.... Never change.

I've said this before as a defense attorney and I will keep harping it until I die: Some of you are accepting with near religious fervency that no woman would ever lie about sexual assault and that's simply not true. I have a case right now where there's significant evidence the accuser is lying.
