Update: I saw the sign. Contrary to what Ace of Base said, it did not open up my eyes

Someone should look into that.

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

The reason I’m not writing about Trump’s racist post is because I see no value in repeating what I’ve been saying for nearly two decades about the man. Here’s a piece I wrote for CNN in 2011. www.cnn.com/2011/OPINION...

The 1803 finger emoji is impeccable work

I think people look at how Republicans were able to constantly put sand in the gears as a minority and wonder, rightly so, why Democrats don’t appear to be doing that. People are looking for some resistance, and Dems can’t even stop voting for Trump judicial nominees.

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

🚨🚨 Georgia State's Constitutional Law program is growing!🚨🚨 Thanks to a very exciting development, we're looking for someone to join the College of Law's public law faculty, including @espinsegall.bsky.social, @andrewwillinger.bsky.social, Neil Kinkopf, and me. facultycareers.gsu.edu/postings/6611

"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)

Wait y'all were serious about ski gun? I thought that was a made up event for a shitpost

ive fallen love with the skiing commentator who is describing cool skiing tricks as "a little extra paprika in the pasta sauce"

“Late Friday night, the Fifth Circuit adopted the extreme minority view—that the government can indefinitely detain without bond millions of non-citizens who have been here for generations; who have never committed a crime; and who pose neither a risk of flight nor any threat to public safety.”

Cancun Ted over here argued that “partisanship is inherent and permissible in the districting process” in an amicus brief he filed with the Supreme Court in the Texas redistricting case last September. www.cornyn.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

One of my most woke opinions: France needs to pay back all the money they made Haiti pay for their independence (with interest).

"Every democracy facing this challenge has learned you don’t defeat authoritarians by being more reasonable. You defeat them by being more determined and by uniting the country against their most visible vulnerability: their corruption." Worth the wait www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

i think we all need to step back and realize that peak art was made when neolithic pot in the shape of a pig was fired

man just one or two more posts and I'm gonna fix american leftwing politics i can feel it

Already reposted the quoted post but just started cracking up all over again because I can’t believe we saw a wholesome example of this exact format in the wild

When your representative says "Don't talk to me about my own morality," I suggest talking to them about their own morality INCESSANTLY.

Had a ton of fun on this panel with @audrelawdamercy.bsky.social, Thomas Saenz, and Reggie Oh!

Gonna steal the phrase “when the framers walked the earth” from @audrelawdamercy.bsky.social

The rock star panel with @audrelawdamercy.bsky.social and @danielrice.bsky.social and even more great people not on bluesky is starting!

This is all what it comes down to ... everything that is happening right now ... a dynamic in which a monarchial President who appears to be suffering from age degeneration related issues ... going off on so many fronts w/o any accountablity. John Roberts did this.

Fuck ‘em up, Socrates (with alt text below)

I am done with collaborationist bullshit

“The boot stomps on thee” will echo in my head for months

Excited for a great lineup today! Including @rebouche.bsky.social, @danielrice.bsky.social, @audrelawdamercy.bsky.social, @gowder.io, and many others!

I'm at University of Alabama Law today for a symposium on The Ever-Evolving Definition of America's History and Tradition! We have a great lineup (including yours truly on the final panel) AND the program will be livestreamed, so tune in today! law.ua.edu/programs/sym...

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

this is very funny www.foxnews.com/media/jd-van...

Many people are saying this

What did possess him. This is such a good question.

Looking forward to deploying "Sir, that doesn't matter to me at all" in conversation

“ACKSHUALLY your honor it’s only 23.3%, not a quarter” “Your brief sucked ass”

Hey, so, I don’t do civil litigation, is it generally considered good when the judge does this? storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

video chatting with my lil niece (3 years old) from a hotel and she asks me where The Husband is I'm like Oh he's not here, I'm in a different place and he's at home why she gon be like.....I wanna see him, I call him disrespect!

ok, whoa. the DOJ just told me that the unredacted version of the document in question contains an image of a victim’s face overlayed on the face of the Mona Lisa image. so, that's why it's redacted. jesus christ

TSA really be pissing me tf off sometimes with their reckless disregard for closing things back after they rifle through them At least my clothes aren't wet bc I started bagging stuff up extra after I was burned once before, but my hairspray was damn near full and now it's damn near empty 😭

Am I remembering correctly that Amy Chua allegedly did similar aesthetic curation of law students, like sending brunettes interested in clerkships to Brett Kavanaugh?

This is insane. Under absolutely no circumstances should a prof ever discuss the physical appearance of a student in a rec letter! I can’t believe I even have to say that!

This morning at the Minnesota State Capitol. An ice sculpture that reads "PROSECUTE ICE". I'm told the organization behind the sculpture is Common Defense.

Reading this in a public place and couldn't stop myself from making a dramatic 😬😬😬 face 'this is how men behave' these people always telling on themselves

cannot possibly convey how actually crazy-making it can feel, after spending 20 years monitoring all these orgs blaming sex workers and the internet for enabling a vast sex trafficking network, to now see Jeffery Epstein’s inbox

@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him

There is a ton of literature on lawyers in Germany in the 1930s who thought they could handle it, maintain their morals, "assist from inside", or avoid blame while working for the Reich. They couldn't.

I mean!!!!

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

Remember in November, when Mark Wolf announced his retirement from the federal bench in The Atlantic saying he needed to speak out about Trump's assault on the rule of law? That may not *quite* be the sole reason why he resigned. He was facing a misconduct inquiry for creating a hostile workplace.
