BREAKING: WE WON!!! 💥 💥 💥 Federal Judge William G. Young ruled today in our lawsuit against the Trump administration that the policy of arresting, detaining, & deporting noncitizen students & faculty members for their pro-Palestinian advocacy violates the 1st Amendment. Full ruling here:

How many times do we need to refresh before this app shows us the one article we want to see?

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

I will say if that whole military meeting had been an email it would have been a pretty weird email

Hegseth: I see here gathered in this room hundreds of men and women devoted to professionalism, ethical conduct, and the Constitution. And I am telling you, as the Secretary of War: That needs to change.

The reason we have rules of engagement isn’t to keep warfighters from killing our enemies. It’s to keep them from killing a farmer with a shovel bc they thought it was a rifle and didn’t bother to wait to check. Or a family in a car bc the driver looked nervous. Or a boat full of fishermen.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

As a retired military officer, after watching Hegseth's "speech", I am 100% certain every single one of the generals in the audience were full of contempt for the stupid boy on the stage who knows nothing about soldiership, and is trying to cosplay a leader. What a pathetic idiot.

A goddam $30 million push up contest.

Me, a Gen Xer: did popular culture stagnate after the 90s or did I just get old? 2025 AI slop: Wal-Mart 20 years ago is my Rosebud.

I’m opening a movie theater in which I show recently released films that I ripped from the internet but the studios are welcome to opt out if they wish.

We need a bigger tent, that’s why we must betray and expel the following types of people:

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

I cannot express how tired i am of thinking about, worrying about, talking about, and stressing about whether it's time for me to flee the United States while I have the means and opportunity to do so.

TikTok owned by Rupert Murdoch and Larry Ellison is going to be wall to wall Trump and Netanyahu apologia, and ethical people still on there should begin contemplating their exit

my daughter really captured my essence in this portrait of me “at work”

I'm gonna be saying "was silence not an option?" from now on

Remake of Tank (1984) starring Dave Bautista freeing his son who’s been wrongfully detained by ICE.

This is the life.

Oh

We don’t talk enough about how racists and authoritarians are the ones who actually genuinely hate this country.

the brain of the median voter needs to be studied for science

Portland doesn’t need the military. Portland has its own defenses.

There is no measured way to say what I am about to say. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court. I do not say this lightly.

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

Three companies of warfighters in Craft Beer Pattern camouflage disappear in a drifting haze of pot smoke and are never seen again.

Hegseth fires general officers and JAGs, cracks down on dissenting views in military, orders killing civilians at sea without legal rationale, calls generals to Quantico to demand loyalty. Trump deploys troops to U.S. cities. "What are Trump and Hegseth up to? It's a mystery!"

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

Again, this is what I mean when I say the Constitution is broken Which of the institutions it establishes, exactly, ISN'T broken?? Which is acting to maintain the constitutional order?

We currently have a Supreme Court that seriously claims (with no explanation) that the current occupant of the Presidency suffers irreparable harm by having to follow existing law, the constitutionality of which has never before been in doubt or even questioned.

Turns out it was pretty stupid of me to go to “law school” and pass the “bar” and practice “law”

So many of us came so very unwillingly to this place of viewing the Supreme Court as unworthy of being viewed as a judicial body. Unworthy of veneration, unworthy of respect. So profoundly reluctantly. But, good lord have they earned it.

until there's a Republican congress and a Democratic president, in which case it will suddenly be very important. the country cannot function as a real democracy with corrupt, partisan serial liars controlling the Supreme Court; it has to be the first priority of a new administration.

Feel like if this is how the law works, there’s no reason to make a budget deal because there’s no reason to believe anything that you win via Congress will actually happen anyway.

San Francisco is such a gorgeous city.

I wrote this before I learned Comey’s lawyer is Pat Fitzgerald. It would be much funnier with him in the suit.

4) on trump's side is a political hack with zero prosecutorial experience on comey's side is pat fitzgerald, who prosecuted scooter libby and rod blagojevich and is basically the steroid barry bonds of legal representation folks: I think they're going to eat shit here in spectacular fashion

1. @jamescomey.bsky.social should seek an injunction prohibiting Trump/Halligan from proceeding with the federal prosecution. Trump's many statements provide Comey with evidence that Trump directive to bring this prosecution was done in "bad faith," and for purpose of "harassment" of Comey.

Waiting for Godot: The Hunt for Godot is the recently announced newest installment of the Godotverse. The long awaited sidequel follows Godot's adventures during the events of the original play.

Want to feel old? Those soldiers are now over 150.

-FAIL! Your REST stat is not high enough to use EXPERT BED. -FAIL! -FAIL! -SUCCESS! You rested 8 Hours on WET LOG. -LEVEL UP!

Reposting my one (1) topical banger.

the case against comey is an illegal, selective, vindictive prosecution. Trump vowed vengeance and retribution; prosecutors concluded there was no case against comey; Trump forced out the prosecutors & replaced them with a loyalist who got an indictment. The case should be dismissed before trial.

At the first conference in Comey’s criminal case, the defense counsel should show up in a kangaroo costume. “Well, if this *isn’t* a kangaroo court, dismiss the indictment and I’ll change into a suit.”

The last season of Daredevil where Kingpin became NYC mayor now seems subtle and restrained.

I wrote this before the regime indicted the former head of the FBI for investigating the current president’s crimes.

Every day feels like a week. I filed a motion less than a week ago and checked my calendar, worried I was going to miss the reply deadline.

FYI the Rapture did happen but the Avengers used time travel to go back and undo it with their own Gauntlet.
