there are a lot of cop shows, the pitt should do a social worker spinoff

New — I wrote about WINNING for a change!

I never saw RoS because I stopped caring a bit before that (and haven't watched anything else since, sorry Andor), but BOY does this thread ring true about WHY I stopped caring.

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

It's worth saying, most serious ethics proposals wouldn't prohibit owning widely diversified index funds or mutual funds, it's really just about individual company stock ownership.

Kudos to Stephen Colbert for speaking out on CBS barring him from interviewing Senate candidate James Talarico due to threats from the FCC. Shows how FCC Chair doesn't need to actually do anything to get his way - the threats are enough to limit speech. WATCH: loom.ly/xhTty-k

This thread reads very much like an audition for guest-hosting @ifbookspod.bsky.social .

So, a Seawolf-class datacenter would be designed for tasks that are already obsolete when it comes online, and instead of building 29 of them there's only going to be 3?

If you want to know why this admin wants to eliminate civil service protections &make federal attorneys at-will, here's part of the reason. (The answer is "yes, you have a greater responsibility to the legal system & ethics rules than to any individual client or officeholder.")

Way to throw @legalminimum.bsky.social under the bus.

Roses are red, Violets are blue, UET may be on the rise, But as a matter of history, it’s simply not true. @jedshug.bsky.social @jdmortenson.bsky.social @andreascoseriakatz.bsky.social @narosenblum.bsky.social @janemanners.bsky.social

YEP. Legal research is EXACTLY in this camp.

Today in "at no point could I predict the next word in this headline"...

NEW — I spoke with Rep. Delia Ramirez (@ramirez.house.gov) about her calling DHS leaders "inheritors of the Klan hood and the slave patrol," the prospect of one day seeing them behind bars, and what it's like to see the public [finally] embrace her long-held dream to abolish ICE. Our conversation:

This is an awesome thread and a fascinating result. We discuss this lawsuit in the Arizona Cardinals episodes in @badlawyerpod.bsky.social too

Not only is this a great piece of movie and cultural critique, but it made me click through a bunch of links to the OP's other Trek articles and they are also great. New rabbit hole unlocked!

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

Hey @mreno79.bsky.social , yay trains!

Live your life in a way that you don't need a $15m security detail, is my opinion.

"The Grand Jury Members Should Be Arrested for Obstruction of Justice" by Josh Blackman

There's gotta be SOMEONE, right?

Look, the Maersk Lego train set is one of the two Lego sets I will always regret not getting my hands on, I'm not gonna let it happen to the container ship.

BREAKING: Judge Nancy Brasel, a Trump appointee, has issued a TRO in the Minnesota access-to-counsel case about treatment at Whipple. "It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees."

Here’s that passage from the ethics opinion

This is particularly insulting and cowardly from the IOC since Russia is banned from competing as a nation at these Olympics specifically because of the invasion of Ukraine.

I needed to adapt a doc for a class exercise. So I had it scanned in & converted to Word, & ofc. the formatting was fubar. So I told MS Copilot to fix the formatting, remove excess spaces, etc but do not change any words. It told me “Here I’ve fixed the formatting but didn’t change any words.” LIES

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

Of all the Illinois Senate candidates in the Democratic primary, Christopher Swann has by far the best platform. The problem is that Raja Krishnamoorthi, the current polling leader, has by far the *worst*.

Scoop–CFPB just fired employee alexisgoldstein.bsky.social for allegedly disrupting &documenting a meeting a year ago between CFPB & DOGE www.bloomberg.com/news/article... She says she's being retaliated against after asking DOGE visitors who they were & if they'd completed training on handling info

I love that this story has a railroad retirement connection! (It has to do with certain prefixes of Social Security numbers that were originally reserved for rail workers pre-1963 and haven't been used since.)

Fellow fiber arts nerds, you'll want to click through not only for the great article but the photos of the gorgeous swatches he crocheted. I gasped out loud.

If you are the fourth person in a remote meeting/presentation/CLE to ask for a copy of the slide deck, after the first three people who asked were told "yes, we will send out the slides to all registered attendees" you should get auto-ejected from the meeting.

“Unfortunately, because Congress is not taking any steps to rein ICE officers in, there really is no option other than states protecting their constituents’ rights," said Joanna Schwartz, a law professor at UCLA.

If you're not from Chicago, you might not be aware that ICE attempted to murder a person doing ICE monitoring, long before the murders in Minneapolis. She survived being shot 5 times. She's taking them to court. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shootin...

a powerful account of what’s happening in Minneapolis from Amna Akbar www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/fe...

PACZKI DAY IS ONE WEEK AWAY. NOT A DRILL. HAVE A PLAN.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Maybe they should read @rickhasen.bsky.social 's book! yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...

Much appreciation to @ramirez.house.gov for her plain-language moral clarity. I look forward to the moment when Democrats like @schumer.senate.gov and @governor.pa.gov finally decide it’s in their political interests to join her.

Yes, I *am* very excited and self-satisfied that I was able to answer a question where the court's published rules and internal operating procedures were silent, but @marinklevy.bsky.social and Judge Jon Newman's book provided an answer. Yes, I *did* donate this copy to our agency reference shelf.

My latest article, "In Praise of Generative AI," is forthcoming in the Iowa Law Review! In it, I present accounts from the Worst People You Will Ever Meet In Law in which they praise generative AI and all the extra terrible behavior it enables: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

It is impossible to assault a robot and people who interfere with or damage property are not assailants.

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

I think I said this a while ago while arguing with people who said that bots can do law / medicine. The difficulty in practice is not simply knowing the symptoms of a clinical presentation. It is understanding that you have to ask people questions to make sure you understand what is happening.

Russ Vought is doing everything he can to target the CFPB and its workers, including illegally cutting critical healthcare and insurance benefits. But he underestimates our resolve and dedication to serving the public. This story about one of our members is case in point.

YUP And they partnered with Flock, too www.cnet.com/home/securit...

This is how you know the instant replay isn't using Copilot AI to help the refs, because Copilot would have definitely confirmed that was pass interference and awarded the Packers a first down.

I am an AI Luddite. Not in the common meaning sense. In the 19th century English textile worker sense of “I increasingly think someone should destroy all of this.”
