Bouie is a national treasure

Important to remember that H1B visa holders have their whole life in the US. The home they rent or own is here. Their family. Their kids go to school here. Being locked out of the US is also in many cases rendering them homeless and away from their family, with no obvious path to return

Free headline: Vatican says no to PapAI blessings

Anyway in other news today is Constitution Day

Admittedly not an expert here but I feel like the answer here might be "yes"

Check out our new results on the M87* #blackhole w/ @ehtelescope.bsky.social ! We now have 3 frames in a 4yr "movie", including polarisation ⇔ magnetic fields. It's like tracking extreme sunspots just outside a black hole, the brightness and fields flip, yet the shape stays the same bc...gravity!

Happy Pythagorean triple day (9/16/25) y'all's

Michelangelo’s Pietà recreated with drones over St Peter’s in the Vatican last night.

Didn't have much time to look at this earlier in the week, but catching up on it now: Apple Corp's top-level overview on their "Memory Integrity Enforcement" technology designed to dramatically increase the cost of breaking into next-generation iPhones security.apple.com/blog/memory-...

Ooh. This is a neat and unusual attack. Uses an oldish (~Jan) signing bypass to load malware in the preboot environment

Pedantic psa but unless you are a boat you cannot fly a flag at half mast; it's half staff

Ngl today several different online platforms all independently making a strong case that social media is bad for society

i wrote this post in july two years ago when blue sky had around 200,000 total users and i thought i would ask again tell me what u are doing be proud of what u do and share it here

Now this is a story all about how My boat got flipped turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute, tell you 'bout that curséd whale Which came fresh out of hell; call me Ishmael

NEW 🧵The White House has now issued its first formal legal justification for the lethal attack on a vessel in the Caribbean. This War Powers report to Congress is long on bluster and short on substance. This letter does not adequately justify the premeditated killing of apparent civilians. 1/n

So fun fact if you are looking for a legal authority to tell the public your strike was conducted under a few days after you did the strike then the strike was just illegal bsky.app/profile/chri...

#BREAKING: C-SPAN is coming to YouTube and Hulu this fall! Press Release: www.C-SPAN.org/YouTubeTV Press Release: www.C-SPAN.org/Hulu

I am a bona fide Congress expert with letters after my name and a long list of publications backing up the claim and this is 100% true.

Cursed conlaw book jumps up in the air, spins violently, and crashes down on the desk, magically opened to the chapter on scotus original jurisdiction

I think Illinois can and should sue Texas in the Supreme Court’s original jurisdiction and seek a preliminary injunction against the use of any un-federalized Texas National Guard troops in Illinois.

So, sending troops to Chicago or Baltimore would be much more complicated than either LA or DC. 🧵

BREAKING: On a 2-1 vote, D.C. Circuit denies the Trump administration's request to let Trump fire a Federal Trade commissioner during appeals. Citing Humphrey's Executor, about the FTC: "To grant a stay would be to defy the Supreme Court's decisions that bind our judgments. That we will not do."

Definitely a lost battle under this admin, but if we do eventually return to normalcy, would really appreciate a hard requirement that every announced use of force by the state be accompanied by stating the authority under which it occured

Bug report: system calendar says it is September but 2025 clearly started like 3-4 weeks ago

Head of Yemen's Houthi government and some ministers killed in Israeli strike, Houthi-run news agency says reut.rs/4oQCCoe

Laughable of course, but the EO here is (mis)classifying these agencies in this EO this way as it lets them end collective bargaining and government unions

By a 7-4 vote, the full Federal Circuit has *affirmed* a lower-court ruling holding that many of President Trump’s tariffs exceed his statutory authority. The ruling won’t go into effect until October 14, though—which gives the Trump administration plenty of time to seek intervention from #SCOTUS:

Oof this is the Federal Circuit tariffs case
